A 5-3/8" x 2-3/4" wooden boat as simple as can be. A simple balloon that fits onto it. Simply blow up the balloon, place the boat in water in a tub or pool, and let it go. The balloon's escaping air sends the boat across the water. Comes with (2) extra balloons.

The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

For razors, toothbrushes, whatever-a little half-round cup with drain holes, and with suction cups to stick it to the tile. No English instructions, but we figure you can probably operate a suction cup without help. Besides, the French on the package translates as "the suction cup which moves your universe" and where else can you get your universe moved for half a buck? In, of course, French blue (bleu) translucent plastic.

They call it the "Krazy Cutter" and it's going to make your life a whole bunch easier. It's a little 2-3/8" long x 3/16" thick teardrop-shaped paper slicer with a teensy rust- and dullness-proof ceramic blade that magically cuts through paper and plastic. Perfect for clipping newsprint, cutting wrapping paper, and opening deviously sealed packaging, including the heavy stuff if you press a bit. Even CD cases. The krazy part? Won't cut your fingers or anything else. You could run it right over your hand, press down and everything, and nothing. Really. We tried it on some expendable employees. You know what this means? You can take it on airplanes, which further means that when you get to the coast you'll actually be able to open all the packages full of the stuff you sent ahead.

Think dental office supplies. Our mini-choppers are 1-3/16" wide x 1-1/4" deep and open to a max of 5/8", before they chomp down like the spring clips they are. Your dentist isn't on your gift list? Clip them to notes that you really want to sink your teeth into. Sadly, the little hinged false teeth have a bite too tight to work as earrings unless you, well, enjoy a little pain.

Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

Nothing sets a young person's heart a-flutter like the mournful cry of a train whistle, a sound that promises adventure, mystery, freedom. We can't offer you any of that, but this may be the next best thing. You've likely seen wooden train whistles like this before-about 6" long, with holes in the top you blow into to create a high-pitched 'moving out' signal. But you've probably never seen them at a good surplus price before. Allons!
