Drinking Bird
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
You're buying the drinks and this wacky, yet debonair, bird with a top hat and plastic base (7" tall OA) can't get his fill of water. Get him started, and he dips his beak into your glass repeatedly. How? Fluid inside his glass body condenses from the evaporative cooling of the water off the bird's beak, making it top heavy and dunking it back into the water. The condensate rejoins the liquid pool in the bird's bulb, and he tips up again. Process continues indefinitely. It works, but it's not any more than moderately well made, and not any more than moderately priced. WARNING! The fluid and dye inside the bird can permanently stain, and the bird's glass body can easily be broken. Children are fascinated by the bobbing bird, and the educational possibilities are great. But they should watch him, not fondle him!! Manufacturer warning states this item is not intended for children 8 and under.

Original Slinky(r)
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.

Swingin’ Desk Toy
Newtonian demonstrator for science teachers. Mindless play for the rest of us. These are shiny, nicely balanced, high-performance examples of the classic Newton’s Cradle – a ball on one end of a row of (5) suspended, barely touching balls swings into the others, and the ball at the opposite end reacts to the collision. The 11/16” dia balls in the small version (all-metal frame 6-1/2" high x 4" x 4-1/4") will collide about 30 times. The 7/8” dia balls in the large version (metal frame 5-1/4" high x 4" x 6", with a wooden base) will collide about 100 times. Awesome. Even more awesome that we paid someone to count the bounces just for you! (Unpacking note: Less awesome if you just yank it out by the suspension lines and pull a couple of balls loose. Be gentle.)

Ga-Boooing! Boooing! Machine
Our crack sound-effects-evaluation vice-president calls this cartoon-in-a-box. You get (16) wacky cartoon sounds, from gunshots and explosions to ga-boings, ah-oogas, whistles, wood-sawing, jabbers and tweets (the original tweets, from birdies.) Digitally recorded, in a 4" x 2-3/8" x 7/8" box with a 1-1/4" dia speaker. It's small enough to carry in a pocket so you can be the life of the elevator!

Wind 'em up and watch 'em hop. You pick a happy hopping yellow tennis ball, basketball, football or earth. Or order the quartet and get all four! All are 2" dia plastic balls approx 2-3/4" tall when you include their feet (football is 2-3/4" wide), with a 1-3/8" dia flattened spot on the front for maybe a photo or name. They'd be aces as sports banquet place cards.

See A Crystal Ball In Your Future?
Well, if you had a crystal ball, you'd be able to see that there's a crystal ball in your future, and you'd know not to pass up this very, very nice glass gazing ball. It's 4-1/4" dia (and heavy) and comes with a footed dark-wood stand that spins smoothly. The stand is just over 3" dia. Together, the ball and stand are 6-1/4" tall. Comes in a presentation and storage box. The perfect accessory for your next fortune-telling gig.

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.

Gnome-On-A-Rope Soap
We found this gnome-on-a-rope soap on a Narnian personal-hygiene website that's since gone bust, so now it's yours. And not just gnome soap on a rope, but "Fine Handmade" gnome soap on a rope. And big, for gnomes, at 6" tall. In a watermelon fragrance. It doesn't get more special than this.
