Endless Time
More fun for the easily amused! A very stylish 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" clear acrylic panel, less that 1/2" thick has two flattened hourglass chambers within it. Both have non-toxic fluids and suspended in one are black grains that are heavier than the liquid. In the other are colored grains that are lighter. Flip the works from one black plastic end to the other and the grains slowly do their things, black down, colored up, over maybe a five minute period. Very soothing. We'll pick your color from neon red, orange, chartreuse and magenta.

Alien
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
This sinister device seems at first glance to be an innocent ping-pong ball. Touch both of the metal strips on the weighted bottom, however, and a circuit closes, making the ball flash red and moan eerie electronic sounds. Can be used to illustrate the idea of an electric circuit to children-show how electricity can flow through a chain of people holding hands, or that a little dampness can improve conductivity, et cetera. Powered with two watch batteries (included) so there is no danger of shock.

Perpetual Motion
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Spin this spindle and watch it turn in perpetuity!! Well, for a long time anyway. Inside the 5-1/2" long colored plastic spindle are magnets which are repelled by magnets in the 5" x 3" black plastic base. The variously colored spindle floats in the air above the base thus virtually free of normal friction. It also has red lights to light up its way as it spins, giving it almost a strobing effect. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

Doodle In 3-D
Think of it as a shortcut to learning perspective. This clever 50-sheet pad of white, 7" x 4-1/2" paper has a fine red and blue grid pattern that shows your drawing and doodling in 3-D when you wear the included 3-D glasses. It's our candidate for the why-didn't-I-think-of-that award this year.

Puff the Magic AirZooka
Mega-cool toy air cannon. Birthdays will never be the same! The instructions on the AirZooka" say it blasts a gust (ball?) of air up to 20 feet but we blew out a candle at 30 feet, and it only took us three tries. (And you can hear the near-misses as they blow past--which is the mega-cool part.) Plastic, 11" dia x 10 1/2" deep, like a bucket with a pistol grip and a fold-down sight. The (3) segments unscrew and collapse for storage between birthdays. We'll pick fluorescent blue, green, magenta or orange, and you'll need two if you want to have air wars.

Super Magnedarts
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
We're loving these during slow moments here at the home office. Every Magnedart set includes a pair of 2-3/4" long mini-darts with very powerful rare-earth magnets where the spears usually are, along with a 5-3/4" dia foam board with a hanging hole and a blank, white vinyl surface (with steel under it). Use the board as it is, or customize it with a dry-erase marker or a photo of the boss. Or play file-cabinet darts across the top of, say, five cubicles. You get (3) complete sets, Great stocking stuffers or party favors.

Gyroscope
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
2" flywheel in well made metal frame. The trick is the same as it has been for 100 years. Wind the string through the spindle, pull it firmly to set the flywheel spinning, and perform effortless balancing magic on pencil tips, string tightropes, and the like. We tend to forget that bicycles and aircraft navigation both rely heavily on gyroscopic principles. It's never too early to tell the kids. Besides, it's fun.

HOVER BLIMP
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Children under 8 yrs. can choke or suffocate on uninflated or broken balloons. Adult supervision required. Keep uninflated balloons from children. Discard broken balloons at once.
Be the only kid on your block with a remote-control extraterrestrial zeppelin. Might even be life-sized, depending upon the planet it's from. The blimp is 54" long when filled with helium (available at helium stores everywhere) and glows from inside with multi-colored strobe lights. Has a wireless remote with forward, reverse, up and down controls, a 40-foor range, dual props, a gondola with a sky hook to pick up the cardboard aliens, ballast weights, and a landing base. Motors take a 3V Lithium battery, which we're including, and you add (2) "AA" batteries. Good hoverer.

Make Two Dozen Paper Airplanes
Plus, of course, the one you already know how to make, but imagine how sick your kids are of that one. This highly origamian, 120pp book has the plans for (25) ingenious paper airplanes, including some stunt fliers. Our favorite is The Flying Pig because you can make "when pigs fly" jokes at meetings and then use the agenda to construct it. Written by David Mitchell for PRC Publishing.

Accountant In A Jar
Or in the lid, actually. Jobar's Money Machine is a clever little bank that counts your change as you put it through the slot on top, and keeps a running total up to $999.99. (That's more than the jar will hold, of course, but you could always attach the lid to a 55-gallon drum.) Measures 6-3/4" tall x 3-1/2" dia in clear plastic, and you add a pair of "AA" batteries. Counts quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies only.
