Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
It's 1953 all over again! Now you can buy your favorite childhood toy for your grandkids! We have the original Burp Gun that rapid-fires small ping-pong-type balls the length of our office as fast as we can pump the barrel (no batteries needed). All right, we remember the grip of the original as plain old brown plastic, and this one is bright red - but kids are used to a lot more stimulation these days! The Burp Gun, which comes with 15 balls, is 30" long when fully extended. The Burp Pistol, which comes with 7 balls, is 12" at its smallest and extends to 17". Great fun - but maybe you'd better buy a couple of bags of extra balls (10 per bag). Big sisters still stomp on them.

Despite parental advice, here's a good reason to sit in in a dark room and think small. This Plasma Storm isn't as large as a standard plasma ball, so not only is it much more affordable -- the effect is concentrated and startling. The black plastic base has a switch. Turn it on at which point the 3" dia plastic globe (think baseball size) is filled with blue stems that flare to pink, looking like dozens of electric flowers searching for a way out. Very cool. Comes with a 6-ft power cord with transformer.

Our very favorite new pet at AS&S goes by his Japanese name, Hamusuta, and runs around and around in his translucent, 5" dia plastic ball. Or you can take the happy little hamster out and watch him scurry all over the place, redirecting when he hits obstacles, like a tiny, furry roombot without the vacuuming. He's 3-1/2" long, in authentic beige and white with little pink ears and nose. Packs an enormous amount of cute into a small furry package. You add (1) "AAA" battery.

From the HEXBUG™ collection of micro-bots: Pick the Original HEXBUG, a little six-legged cutie that scrambles around, and reacts to loud sounds and physical obstacles by changing direction. Or the HEXBUG Crab, a mesmerizing creature that runs from the light and hides in the dark, reacts to loud sounds, and changes directions at preprogrammed intervals. In assorted translucent colors (we’ll pick), with replaceable button-cell batteries included. All are approx 2” x 1-3/4”.

We're very fond of this mesmerizing ovoid. It's a translucent-white, soft-rubber egg with LEDs inside, 3-5/8" tall x 2-3/4" dia at its egg waist, as it were. Turn it on and it morphs slowly through a series of attractive pastel colors. No Easter basket would be complete without one. Placed on a desk or nightstand, we think it can produce lasting inner peace. Which is hard to find these days. The 3-5/8" wide triangular silver-colored charging stand has an indicator and a wall adapter, and will power it when it's on the base, or charge its internal NiMH battery (over 8-10 hours) for 500 cycles (about 6 hours) of stand-alone morphing. Mighty nice, Paul says, now that he's found his inner peace.
