Egg McChameleon
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Another gem plucked from the A.S.&S. mirabilia. The shape and size of a hen egg, this opaque stone (or matte-finished glass - we're not sure which) is interesting in itself. Touched with a red penlight in a dark room, the entire egg becomes a brilliant ruby color. Blue light/blue egg, etc. Fun and fascinating, and with a little sleight of hand, a sure way to convince the plebeians that you have some mysterious metaphysical power.

Celestial Inspiration
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This toy is or contains a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.
The planets. You can own them. These wood balls with holes drilled in them (but not through them) were meant to be planets and moons for a solar system model. Do it yourself. You and your kids will learn a lot more than if you bought a kit that does all the thinking for you. Some balls are painted bright colors, some are varnished natural wood. Most have at least one 1/4" hole, some have smaller holes. They could also be joints and/or finials for some kind of dowel construction. Nothing to stop you from drilling new holes for a truly custom project.

Absorbing Junior
When the dinky self-sticking pads you can get at the hardware store just aren't enough.... Our black neoprene rectangles are 1-1/4" x 3-5/8" x 7/16" thick. The self-adhesive foam pads cushion impacts, reduce vibrations, absorb shocks. Sounds like a perfect gift for the parents of a teen-aged male, but don't pass up the chance to own (10) of these great little pads yourself!

They're Corkers!
Natural cork, right from those strange trees, in perfect discs and rings. We're thinking pads, gaskets, bumpers, arts and crafts projects, insulators, or all-natural, metal-detector-safe jewelry. You pick from 2" dia discs 1/4" or 3/8" thick; or from 2" OD x 1" ID rings that are 1/4" or 3/8" thick; or 3" OD x 2" ID rings that are 1/4" or 3/8" thick. Note that the Thins (below) are 1/4" thick, and the Thicks (below) are 3/8" thick. Got that?

Domer
These 3/4” thick wooden bases are perfect dome–holders. The 5” dia dark–brown base is formed from pressed wood chips, but it has a decent finish, and you wooden want to pass it up just because it had a flakey childhood. Its 5/16” wide groove will hold a 3–1/2” ID dome, and it has (3) flat rubber discs on the bottom to protect your furniture tops.

For Red, White & Blue Letter Days

Oh. Rings!
No, not really O-rings. These black, fairly firm, closed-cell rubber rings, 3" OD x 2-1/2" ID x 3/4", were originally from a feed roller. If you don't have any unmet gasket needs, these also make nice bowling ball stands, ring-toss supplies, tires for custom-made wooden toy wheels, and perfect spill-preventing stabilizers around the bottom of large styrene coffee cups on copywriters' desks.

Cool Spool
It's a roller. It's a grip. It's a bumper. It's a cushion. It's a toy. Threaded onto a chain, it's a really chunky -- but lightweight -- necklace. What it really is, is a spool-shaped cylinder of resilient black foam 2-3/8" long x 2" dia at the outside edges and 1-1/2" dia in the middle, with a 1" bore and limitless possibilities. We'll send a pack of (4) for starters.

Sooo Trading Spaces®
Using these 2-1/8" x 5" dia shapes can be a designer's challenge, but they are extremely cool! The flattened spheres have a dazzling deep rosé -- or maybe light merlot -- metallic finish, and a pattern of concentric circles on one side. Each opens to reveal (6) dividers, a divine design that lets you use them as segmented, decorative storage boxes but gives them the strength to be what they are -- furniture feet for a modern chair or sofa. (They're made of the same heavy plastic as many of our replacement wheels, and each comes with a 2-1/8" long x 5/16"-8 hex bolt that fits through the molded center. Handy if you decide to attach 4 or 5 dozen to your family room wall!) We can hear it now. "Honey, while you were out I decided to spruce up the place...."
