Love Meter
AKA hand boiler. An exotic bit of hand blown glass with a bulb at top and bottom connected by some zippy tubing that spirals, loops, and/or jogs. In the closed system is some colored liquid (methyl chloride) that is very light. Hold the lower bulb in you hand and as the air in the system is warmed it pushes the fluid through the loops to the upper chamber. When all the liquid is pushed out of the lower bulb, expanding air will bubble through the tubing making it appear that the liquid is boiling. WARNING! The glass is fragile and the liquid is nasty. If you drop the thing on e.g. the kitchen tile, it will eat the finish off the tile and the stain in the liquid will permanently stain the floor. So don't let kids handle this item unsupervised. About 7" tall, it is a favorite in our stores.

Incredibubbles!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
We love these! You're going to love these! Your kids are going to love these! Hundreds of clear marble-sized bubbles can cover the floor, cling to the sides of furniture, land on your arm. They float enchantingly, rising on air currents you can't even feel. After a few seconds, the bubbles are hard enough to catch or stack. Some will still be perched in out-of-the-way spots a day later. Touchabubbles goop, thicker than the bubble-blowing liquid you're familiar with, comes in a 4" plastic test tube with a wand built into the cap, and a clip on the side so you can carry it in a shirt pocket. The goop is nontoxic, but it tastes really bad, and you probably won't want these landing on expensive tabletops, so kids under 8 should have adult help with them. They should be sharing the fun anyway!

Historic Action Figures
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
How do you tell a real superhero? It ain't because he has kung-fu moves, or looks good in tights. The historical giants in our superhero collection, reduced to 5" to 6" tall plastic figures, wear their contemporary dress. Thus confined, they're limited to moving limbs and heads, with some being more motile than others. These superheroes are actual historical figures, though, rather than Hollywood heroes. Leonardo also comes with a 4-1/4" easel, plus a little frame with (4) interchangeable masterpieces to display. All the figures include fascinating facts and short biographies on the back of the package.

Mini Squeegee
The whole office can be full of dust-free monitor screens, thanks to the hero who handed out dry squeegees to everyone! The 3-7/8" wide plastic scrapers (very assorted colors, our choice) have a 1/4" wide strip of something fuzzy on one side to sweep lint and dust from the glass. When the air conditioner goes berserk, you can flip them over to scrape off the frost. You want to be a real hero, give them extras for their windshields.

Piano Roll-up
CJ is the resident musician at A.S.&S., and he can play this roll-up keyboard to a fare-thee-well. "It sounds great," he says, "and it doesn't get any more portable than this." About nine steps beyond nifty, this extremely cool electronic keyboard unrolls to 25-1/4" long x 5-1/4" but the 1/8"-thick rubber-membrane keyboard rolls up around the sound module to become the exact size of healthy ham and cheese sandwich. It has (26) different tones, (99) rhythms, (10) demo songs, a (3) octave range and it runs on (3) "AAA" batteries (Not included.). The business end has volume, power, function, start and stop controls, a built-in 1-3/4" speaker, headphone output and jacks for a 6VDC 300mA adapter 3.5mm plug (not included). And if you let the cat play on it, we bet you'll get Phillip Glass tunes.

Talking Bandages
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Okay, these bandages don't talk out loud—but they do let your boo-boos make a statement. The tasteful 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.Our adhesive, photo-reproduction quality, pickle bandages will cover all of your gruesome gherkin cuts, or give you a quirky cover-up for your own sliced finger. The (15) individually sealed bandages are 3” x 1” and they come with a bonus, 1-1/4” long, rubber pickle with a frightened look on his (it’s?) face. Whichever you stick with, you won't see it stuck on every other kid in school or at the office.

The Talking Doorbell
Call it a toy that's not a toy. The "Say What?" wireless doorbell is marketed to kids for their rooms, but is equally useful for the houses, apartments and offices of people with a sense of humor. Put the 2" x 5-5/8" x 1-3/4" bell unit on the outside, mount the 5-18" x 3-1/2" x 1-1/2" receiver inside up to approx 30 feet away. (Ignore the 50-feet instructions on the packaging.) You record a digital 10-second greeting, or warning, that plays to the bell-pusher when the bell is pressed. Inside, you hear one of (4) preprogrammed sounds: a meow; circus music; dance music; or a voice saying "Here comes trouble." Units have two volume levels. Requires (2) "AA" batteries for the bell (included, but likely dead) plus (3) C-cells, not included, for the receiver. Includes mollies and double-sided tape for mounting. Can be used for outside entrances, but we'd suggest only in protected areas.

Just Up To Rubidium
That'd fill this 9-oz ceramic coffee mug with the periodic table of elements printed on the side to about half a cup. It's printed in color on both sides, actually, in case you're left-handed. The atomic numbers and weights are a trifle small, but then they are atomic.
