Break Your Own Geodes

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

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.

Original Slinky(r)

Warning!  WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.

Tipper? Or A Tiny Topper?

We're calling this a Tipper because it's a natural for sliding onto the tip of a Christmas tree branch or over the end of a pencil, etc., during the holiday season - but the 1-3/16" dia glass ball trimmed with a decorative gold leaf or two sits on an approx 3/4" x 3/8" dia coil of gilded wire, so it can be attached to bows or braids or almost anything. Each bag of six is a single color. You get (2) bags, our choice of yellow, citron, olive green, turquoise, blue, lavender, pink, red, dark orange or orange.

Mesmerizing Egg

More goose-sized than chicken-sized at 3-3/4" tall x 2-3/4" max dia, this soft, translucent-rubber egg glows with color. It can be set to stay one hue, or to change very slowly from purple through blue, green, orange and red to purple…. Very Zen. Or very cute in an Easter basket. Runs on (3) replaceable button-cell batteries, included.

You Can Buy These For A Tong

Our very first-ever multi-use white-plastic tong set could be used, we suppose, for serving salads (their intended purpose) but they'd also make dandy rib cages for skeletal models, scary claws for a costume designer, huge barrettes for the over-coiffed diva, pasta servers, or very effective head-scratchers. They're 6" long x 3-3/4" wide, with (3) big prongs and short, horizontal grips that make them eminently packable for picnics. Our package of (2) is really a package of (2) pairs. Which is good, considering how multitalented they are.
