Nose Sharpener

Stick the dull, but leaded end of your wooden pencil into the left nostril of this nose and twist clockwise. You will be rewarded with a shiny sharp point on the pencil and a curl of shavings on your desk, lap or floor. Pretty good performance for a life sized, flesh colored piece of hard plastic!! If you want to sharpen things up around the office or home, send for the following item, and prove you have a nose for great deals!!

Mylar Warmth

They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

Old Chicago

You'd expect to find these 5" x 7" souvenir cards at Navy Pier, before there was anything at Navy Pier. They're circa 1980, with full-color touristy photos. If you're a Chicago buff, frame them. Or pass them out at your next party and see who can pinpoint the date of the photos from high-rise construction and cars in the background. Or actually use them as notecards, if you don't mind the slightly dated look. (10) in a pack, with at least (5) different scenes.

REALLY BIG

Everything about this magnifying glass is big. Really big. Hence the name. A 6" dia lens provides 2x magnification. The frame is metal, as is the 6" handle. Ostensibly handheld, but with a nearly-inch-thick glass lens, it's heavy enough to give your lower arm muscles a big workout.

Quite A Kit

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

We're really charged up about this modular Electronic Lab from Maxitronix(tm) that appeals to both girls and boys. The 4-in-1 set of interactive action kits includes colorful 5-1/2" x 3" x 1-1/8" plastic housings and components to build an electric bell, motor, generator and meter. As the manual says, they're "safe, solderless, educational and fun!" And the manual is the best we've ever seen. Every part and every step is illustrated and labeled (it doesn't presume you can tell an egg lug from a tapping screw), and it explains HOW each experiment works. Kids trying out the 10 suggested experiments learn to reverse a motor's direction, operate the bell or motor with the generator, use the meter to measure electricity and more. Requires (2) "AA" batteries (not included). This is an exceptional set for boys and girls aged 10 and up.

Tootin' Our Laser

We don't like to brag, but it's tough not to in a case like this. This is a wonderful pen-shaped laser pointer, 5-1/4" long, flat black or silver with gold pocket clip and head. It throws a red point a loong way (we've thrown it two city blocks at night, and it would've gone farther, but buildings got in the way). And what are we so proud of? We've seen a very similar item-not identical, mind you, but essentially the same-in one of those glossy, toys-for-grown-men catalogs. Their price? $40! We're proud not to be profit-mongers, buy it here and you can take pride in your smart shopping habits. Batteries included. (Please note color change to include silver.)
