Back To Basics

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

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement, and the 1840s were a simple time. So it's simply a kazoo.

Some Are Just Goofy

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

…but other cars in this collection feature graphics of Mickey, Tigger, Daisy and assorted other Disney figures. The dozen different toy cars, die-cast metal with plastic tires, are approx 4" long at 1:43 scale. They include the Dodge Viper GTS, Mercedes 190E, VWs, Fiats, Lamborghini Countach and Porsche 959 among others. Assorted colors. For the bigger boys on your list (and please don't tell the Mouse we suggested this) those cartoon characters peel right off with nothing more than a little fingernail help, revealing solid-colored car models. Made in Italy by Burago. We pick (3) different ones for you.

Shower Hang-up

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.

Krazy Like a Foks

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.

Orthodontic Binder Clips

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

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.

A Plethora Of Pocket Models

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

They're full-color, punch-out models that start out looking like credit cards and end up standing up by themselves. The appeal? They're small, entertaining, dirt cheap, and there are a whole lot of them. Kidlets age 6 and up will be tied up for hours assembling and playing with these packs of (9) different tropical fish, all approx 2" long, or the slightly smaller (approx 1-1/2" when assembled).

Boogie Bot

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

Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance, to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.

Flexi-Sphere

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

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.

Song of the Open Rails

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!
