I like all the suggestions here, especially the chemical sprays/fire extenguishers. I like the distance they provide. If they only drop the attacker to his knees, instead of making him run away,
A foot to the groin followed immediately by thumbs to the eyeballs should enable me to kick their firearm/knife/whatever out of their reach.
Tearing an ear off tends to distract them, too, an it's relatively easy to do.
Stiff fingers to the belly, right under the ribs.
Letter openers are good for stabbing.
A portable/wireless phone is good for bludgeoning.
[ I'm just looking around the room and ruling out the firearms in sight]
Earphone/headphone jack to the eyes or in the ear canal would probably hurt a bit
Nail file to eyes, ears or belly;
Hot candle wax thrown at BG;
Heavy picture frames thrown from a distance, or smashed over head/back of neck;
Scissors for stabbing;
Ruler for stabbing;
Nail polish remover to the face [will hurt their eyes, but not my hands];
Lamps for throwing and bludgeoning in belly and over the head;
Pens for stabbing , gouging eyes, in ear canal;
Canned good and 2 liter bottles in the kitchen for throwing;
Hot spices for the face;
Wine bottles over the head, then broken glass for stabbing/slashing;
Husband's ties/belts for tying them up after any of the above methods have subdued them.
