Mystery Boxes of stuff like what you see in the catalog. Maybe we had a little left but not enough to continue the listing. Maybe we only got a few as part of an odd lot. Maybe we just lost some, and just found them in our warehouse. You will get items which originally listed for at least $25.00 total in our catalog (or would have, if we had enough). You pick. The "electro-mechanical" box has things like motors, switches, hardware and components that are useful parts but want to be worked into something bigger. The "consumer" box has more ready-to-go type items, and things that don't have as technical a flavor, like bottles, toys, books and giant rubber bands. The fun is in the mystery and surprise. Perfect if you don't know what to give Aunt Maude and Uncle Ned, or if you can't decide how to bring your order up to the minimum. Every couple of months the contents will keep changing, so even if you have gotten a box before, feel free to order again! (Please note: Ordering multiple boxes at the same time will result in duplicate items.)

Even the person who has everything doesn't have full-color posters of ulcers and cancers! Then again, some people don't throw anything away. The 20" x 29" ulcer poster illustrates different types, while the 20" x 26" cancer poster illustrates different treatments. Both are from 1985. Great gift idea.

Periodic table of the elements nicely presented as a 3-hole-punched 8-1/4" x 11" insert for a looseleaf notebook. It's a double-sided trifold with peripheral information, including instructions on how to read the chart. A brightly colored and useful reference for everyone from teachers to chemists.

A bright little flashlight with (8) super-bright white LEDs in a circle and a less-than-5mW red laser right in the middle. One click and it's a flashlight, another click and it's a laser pointer. (Note: flashlight and pointer can't be on at the same time.) Measures 4-3/8" long x 1-1/8" dia in dark silver, red or blue aluminum with knurled grips at both ends, and comes with a black-canvas belt pouch and a wrist strap. Lasts 30 hours on a set of new alkaline batteries (3 "AAA" heavy duty batteries included).

Think of it as a shortcut to learning perspective. This clever 50-sheet pad of white, 7" x 4-1/2" paper has a fine red and blue grid pattern that shows your drawing and doodling in 3-D when you wear the included 3-D glasses. It's our candidate for the why-didn't-I-think-of-that award this year.

This small flashlight is only 4-5/8" long, but draws super-bright light from its (32) LEDs. The unique, non-rolling design of the 1-1/2 dia head is a nice added feature. Comes with (3) "AAA" batteries, a carrying strap, and a nylon travel pouch. Runs about six hours on a set of batteries.

We saw articulated, foot-tall wooden artists' mannequins just like these in a Paris gallery window last year, with all their little articulated parts painted in different high-gloss colors. Very harlequinesque, and many, many Euros. Our 12" mannequins are in unfinished wood, but if you've got paint you could get all avant rive-gauche and paint your own. Not that sensitive? Paint your local NFL uniforms on 'em. In a pinch, you could use them as intended, as artist's models, but where's the fun in that?

Next to the postage-stamp-sized magnet that suspends our scissors on the wall of our cubicle, this is our favorite thing. The dark-brown, rubber-coated channel magnet is only 3/4" x 3/8" x 5/16", snaps around a standard ballpoint pen (up to 5/16" dia), and has just the right amount of strength to hold the pen on a metal drawer front or on the side of a file cabinet. And you can get enough for the whole office for less than the cost of your morning latte!

That's what they'll call you when you start passing out these pretty little light sticks. You get a package of (15) with the brand name Glow-Bangles, all 8" long x 3/16" dia in assorted colors, including white, yellow, orange and pink, along with (15) little bendable barrel connectors so you can make bracelets, necklaces or one really skinny glow-in-the-dark hula hoop. Cute.

Our crack sound-effects-evaluation vice-president calls this cartoon-in-a-box. You get (16) wacky cartoon sounds, from gunshots and explosions to ga-boings, ah-oogas, whistles, wood-sawing, jabbers and tweets (the original tweets, from birdies.) Digitally recorded, in a 4" x 2-3/8" x 7/8" box with a 1-1/4" dia speaker. It's small enough to carry in a pocket so you can be the life of the elevator!
