Money, Honey

"Money, Money, Money" by Troy Spencer for Troll Books is a good introduction to the history and sensible use of lucre, filthy and otherwise, for 7- to 11-year-olds. It's 16pp and sold for $6.95 in bookstores. It comes with a package of $100 worth of shredded U.S. currency to break their little hearts. And no, the $100 isn't all from the same bills, so tell them not to bother piecing the shreds together. (On the other hand, trying it could tie them up for a quiet month or two, so we'd let them go ahead.)

Collapsible Cane

This black aluminum walking stick is sturdy enough to provide support (up to 250 lbs, the manufacturer says), but folds into (4) sections for storage and travel. The lightweight cane can be easily adjusted in (5) increments to an overall length of 33-1/2" to 37-1/2". The handle doubles as a low-power magnifier/spotting scope and sports a tiny 1/2" dia compass. Comes with a vinyl carrying pouch, and a small flashlight that can be inserted into the handle. Not as good as being able to walk without a cane, but maybe the next best thing.

21st Century Walking Stick

Walking sticks have moved into the space age! This walker's/hiker's friend has futuristic features and the look of an inter-galactic weapon. The high-quality collapsible aluminum stick extends from a packable 27" to a full 56", and has a carbide tip with a rubber cover, a removable 2" dia disk to keep the stick from sinking into soft ground, and an internal shock absorber that can be turned on or off. At the top, a 5-LED flashlight with a 90° pivot is embedded in a molded-plastic cane-style handle to light your way. For mountain trekking, lengthen the stick, slip the adjustable canvas wrist strap over your hand, and clutch the stick by the padded foam section below the cane handle. Directions, diagrams, and 1100mm to 1350mm gradations are marked clearly on the 3-draw pole. We'll pick a black or anodized red, green, blue, silver or purple version for you.

Flex-Head LED

Bargain alert! It's small enough to fit in your shirt pocket, which is why it's got a pocket clip, and plenty bright. Our little LED flashlight runs on an included "AAA" battery and has a 4-5/8" long gooseneck attached to a 3-3/4" x 9/16" dia body so you can see inside crannies and nooklets. Remove the paper spacer on top of the battery before you curse us because it won't go on.

Collapsible Cone, With Flasher

A highway safety essential that takes up approximately no trunk space. Our 17" tall traffic safety cone collapses (like an old top hat) into a 9-7/8" square x 1-1/8" thick package. Made of orange nylon with spring-steel rings inside and a reflective silver band on the outside, the hard-plastic base holds a red LED that lights the cone from the inside. The LED has on/off/flash modes, and is powered by an included coin cell lithium battery. The whole shebang comes in a zippered vinyl carrying case. Very nice. Don't change a tire without one. Or two.
