Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

Hey, Coppoletta! Add realism to your home flicks with a Hollywood director's slate board. This 8" x 7" version is wood, painted black with white lettering. The traditional striped arm on top cracks down on the palimpsest where you chalk in the Production, Director, Camera, Date, Scene and Take. Very Vérité

Or anything else on your horizon with a very nice kids' Safari® telescope/spotting scope. CJ calls it a toy-that's-not-a-toy, which means that it's a 15X magnification, 35mm dia, 3-draw scope suitable for watching the moon, the fauna if you're in a Safari mood, or the approaching ships if you're in a Master and Commander mood. It's 7-5/8" long when closed, extends to 14" and comes with eyepiece and objective covers. We'll pick one with a red, yellow, green or blue plastic barrel.

We don't know which we like better -- This really nice 2-3/4" long, 10-blade folding knife, or the terrific little window-topped tin it comes in! The trim stainless-steel folding knife, we suppose, with its 1-5/8" knife blade, flat-head and Phillips-head screwdrivers, saw, punch, stitch puller, nail file, scissors, corkscrew, bottle opener, 3/8" slip ring and, powered by (3) button cells already in it, a 7/8" long light with a white LED! But that 3-1/2" X 2-1/2" X 1" bare-steel tin with the see-through hinged lid is running a very, very close second…. Great gift item.

A 4" dia x 2" deep aluminum cup is topped by a 6" tall U-shaped handle with a brush-holding spring across the top. Inside the cup is a mesh screen (with its own handle) for to clean the paint off and let it settle to the bottom, away from the bristles. The handle is removable for storage or travel.

These bandages don't talk out loud, but they do let your boo-boos make a statement. The lovely bacon bandages are photo reproductions of a (cooked) bacon slice. You get a box of (15) standard, 3" sterile bandages, with a bonus tiny plastic pig in every box. The crime version is a box of (25) standard 3" bandages in an authentic bright yellow "crime scene do not cross" style. Every box also includes a little plastic, Cracker-Jacky-type toy. Either way, you won't see these stuck on every other kid in school or at the office.
