Saves you from info-snatching electronic pickpockets, and from leaning against the gas pump and emptying your bank account. (The downside of Radio Frequency IDentification.) Called the "EMvelope," it's an 8-3/8" x 3-1/2" x .012" thick trim-able electromagnetic sheet (think Faraday cage with a floating ground) that blocks radio frequencies up to 2.4GHz. Cut it to size and slip it in your wallet, or wherever, and protect the data on your credit cards, "fast-pay" devices, ID cards, EZ-Pass, or anything else with an embedded RFID chip, including the new U.S. passports.

93390 RFID ENVELOPE |
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.

Couldn't tell it from the glass variety by just looking. This plastic mirror with rounded corners measures 3-15/16" x 5-15/16". Comes with protective film on both sides. We're thinking kids, camping, or just an unbreakable travel item. Pretty flexible, too, if you like fun-house mirror effects.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
No little plastic gemstones or paper clips inside, just a fish-eye lens at the business end of this toy so anything you point it at is viewed as a kaleidoscopic treat. ("Look how pretty my desktop is!") Measures 4-1/4" long x 1-3/8" dia with a wrist strap. And kaleidoscope can too be a verb, because we said so.

Stick "Doctor Frog" (2-1/4" high, plus probes) into the soil of your houseplant and he'll chirp when the plant needs watering. (You know he's an authentic amphibian botanical MD because he's got a tiny little stethoscope around his neck.) Includes (2) button-cell batteries. He's also got a photocell so he won't croak in the dark, because nobody likes a plant that keeps asking for a drink of water when it should be sleeping.

Our most psychedelicious laser ever. It's a standard, high-power green laser with a momentary switch and a kaleido-lens which projects a green-dot grid pattern. Turn the lens and it morphs into a plaid-like pattern, then a design only seen on boys' winter jackets in 1958, and then a swirling intergalactic star-dream. (You have to be there.) Runs on (2) "AAA" batteries, included. Rated at <5mW. Measures 6-1/2" long x 9/16" dia, 532nm wavelength. Futuristic-looking black barrel. Includes a carrying case.

Literally. These clear, plastic-tubing faux-specs start in your soda, wrap around your ears and eyes, sit on your nose and end up in your mouth. You slurp and your drink zips around your face and into your yap. The last word in sophisticated beverage consumption. Made of 1/8" and 1/4" tubing, the slurp-parts detach for when you're not drinking. Some folks here believe we got this, despite the fact that it's in perfect working order, because the package says "It's suck-sational!"
