Instant annoyance for adults and fun for kids, 8 and over. A pair of balls 13/16" in diameter, one sickly green, one mottled rose. Never mind the color. Hold one in your hand, toss the other in the air and catch it with the hand holding the first one. When they hit, they emit a loud pop like the cap in a cap gun. Blasts safely over 200 times. Which should be enough to wear out both parent and child. Made in Taiwan.

Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

"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.)
