Far Out & Groovy Globe
When your mom's in the room, it's just a plain, white 8" dia frosted plastic globe, but turn it on when she leaves and watch the red, green and blue LEDs inside glow as they rotate through a motorized diffuser lens. Has (4) different modes. It's called the Supernova Globe, and the manufacturer assures us that the ever-evolving colors and configurations create a calming atmosphere, and who doesn't need that? Makes a particularly trippy night light.

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.)

Extremely Itsy LEDs On A String
You get 35 (which is almost (3) dozen, after all) little bitsy beads of light on a 6-foot long, 2-strand copper wire. As small as incandescent grain-of-wheat lights, these LEDs are powered by (3) "AA" batteries in a 3-1/2" x 2" x 3/4" thick plastic battery pack. A single push-button switch controls off/slow blink/fast blink/steady on, to meet your most festive needs. You pick red, green or white. You also buy the batteries.

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.

Monkey Dishes
Little bowls like these are called monkey dishes in the restaurant business. Doesn't pay to ask why, we think, but they're extremely handy. These are stainless steel, 4-1/2" dia x 1-1/2" deep. They're marked "Pet Bowl," but wouldn't work for anything over kitten size. We'd use 'em for peas, paints, pickles, peanuts, paste, prune pits, like that. You run out of p's, you could use them for ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise.

Ouch!
Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed, hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

Flat Mats
Let's cut to the chase here -- buy these the first time you read this, or they're going to be gone! There aren't that many of these flexible chopping mats, and the versatile 15" x 12" x 0.024" thick mats are not only ideal for small kitchens where every inch counts, they're great for any kitchen, and for cookouts, camping and picnics. Our each is a set of (2) of the translucent Euro-look mats that protect countertops from sharp knives and fresh-from-the-oven cookies, and protect food from outdoor surfaces. They can be lifted and slightly folded to funnel chopped food neatly into a pot. They're dishwasher safe, and roll up for portage or storage.
