Front!
Time was, these service bells were on every teacher's desk and the front desk of every hotel in the world. They're still a classically beautiful design, and they'll still bring folks running when you tap the little plunger on top. The chrome bell sits on a black enameled steel base and the whole thing is 2-3/4" dia x 1-7/8" tall.

Perfect Ions In A Bad Box
Which is how we got this bargain. It's a brand new Bell and Howell plug-in Ionizer in black plastic with a cream-colored grill, stands 12" tall x 2-3/4" wide x 5" deep in a roughly Tiki head shape. Removable filter/dust collector. It's in perfect shape, but apparently Bell and Howell were embarrassed that the box was a little beaten up. We surplus heads know better than that.

Soft Touch
And easy to store. One of the better pick-up tools we've seen. Folds to just over 16" to store, but locks open at 30" with spring steel arms on an aluminum frame. It has soft, suction-cup-shaped grabbers and big, locking pistol grip. Pretty good gripping capacity too-maybe to 10 lbs or so. Get one for Mom, because at her age she can't reach the things she used to. And then get another one for yourself, because you'll be Mom's age before you know it.

Gabby Thermometer
You'll have to find a twelve-year old to program it for you, but when the kid's done, it'll be really cool (pun intended). The indoor part of our talking indoor/outdoor thermometer is a 6" x 3-1/2" x 1" white plastic case with (2) LCDs displaying your choice of (4) modes of times and temperatures. And does it talk! In/out temperatures at alarm time or hourly, daily highs and lows, freezing and high-temperature alerts, and more. A sliding cover conceals the control panel for volume, clock, mode settings, etc. The unit hangs on the wall or stands. A probe on a 10-ft cord reads the outside temperature. The package says it requires (2) "AA" batteries, but it should say (2) "AAA" (not included).

Non-Digital Scale
Which means you don't have to step on, step off it, wait for it to turn on, then step back on it and wait while it thinks about how much you weigh. Life is hard enough. Try this analog, spring-driven, floor scale. Measures 11" square, with big, easy-to-read numbers on a 4-3/4" dia dial. White with silver accents. Measures up to 300 lbs, with color-coded markers to track the whole family's battles with snacks. From Healthometer®.

How Hot Was It?
This clever little analog thermometer has two extra hands that you set with a dial for non-digital temperature tracking. When you check back (In the evening? Morning? Whenever.) they tell you the minimum and maximum temperatures since you last set it, along with the current temp, of course. Has a 3" x 3-1/2" dial face and reads -30°C TO +60°C and -20°F to +140°F. In a dark-green plastic birdhouse-esque case, 8-1/4" tall x 3" x 1" thick, with built-in tabs to hang it up.

Peel-O-Matic
And whisk-o-matic, and froth-o-matic, and brush-o-matic. Call it a four-fer, this rechargeable, hand-held veggie/fruit peeler/scrubber with a 3" long rotating head with (4) metal blades. Comes with (3) snap-on brushes for cleaning your comestibles; a mini-whisk; and a wire frother for to put a head on your lattes. Includes a charging stand, clear plastic splash guard (the peeler works best if the veggies are wet) and a covered rack for the accessories. And yes, it's as seen on TV, for twice our price.

Magic Floating Light Balls
For your unmet festive yard needs. This 4-5/8" dia clear-plastic sphere contains a non-replaceable but rechargeable NiCad battery, a 2" square solar panel to keep it charged up, and a rubber-coated power switch. It comes with a constant white LED or a flashing multi-color LED inside it. It's maintenance-free, turning off and on as the ambient light waxes and wanes. You could toss a bunch into the pool for some floating cocktail-party elegance, but it does have a small mount on the top if you want to hang it from a tree. You ask us, we'd file off the mount and play night bocce ball.

Putin These On Sale
Seventy-plus years of Soviet history neatly packed into a set of (5) wooden nesting dolls, just like the chubby-mummy matryoshka, but with hammer and sickle emblems on their backs. The outer doll is a 6-1/2" tall Gorbachev, with Brezhnev, Khruschev (we think), Joe Stalin, and a tiny, 1-3/4" Vladimir Lenin all nesting inside. Recent Russian events are putin them in the surplus universe.

Laid Back
What's the opposite of frenetic? This tabletop lamp. The egg shape is soothing, the smooth surface is frosted, and the egg slooowly changes from pale yellow to pale green to pale pink to pale blue.... The open end of the 8-1/2" x 6-1/4" dia glass egg rests in a brushed aluminum base that houses a 10 watt halogen bulb and a motorized color wheel. It's 12-1/2" tall OA. The 6-ft power cord has an in-line switch and terminates in a plug-in wall adapter. Why pay $25. or $30. when you can buy surplus and save money? Now that's soothing....

Laser Light Show
It's a standard keychain laser pointer, 2-1/2" long, 1/2" dia. But it comes with (5) different screw-on heads, allowing you to project everything from the useful (a single point) to the frivolous (a flying saucer, mudflap girl, two fingers up, dbl candy cane). Good distance, too. Specs: Class II laser; 630-680nM; output less than 1mW. Batteries are included. (Please note that the heads may change slightly)
