We were absolutely flummoxed when we saw these brummagem globes! How did these Moroccan–inspired accessories show up in our warehouse, instead of some trendy home–decor shoppe? The shiny 3–7/8" dia plastic metallic looking globes are wrapped in a copper–colored exterior armature, graced with (2) metallic–gunmetal marbles in a similar, if finer, armature, hanging from a 28" plated, copper–colored chain? In your choice, not our choice, of silver or purple? All we can say is "Yes, Martha, there is a Santa Claus."

Ant farming has been reborn since NASA got interested in insectaries and Fascinations® started manufacturing AntWorks". What used to be a dark, earthen ant farm is now a curvilinear plastic habitat containing gel the color of a Caribbean dive site. The clear turquoise gel is the food, water and housing medium of the insects, which you may capture locally, or order via mail. We ordered ours, the better to avoid militant army or fire ants or feuding factions, and it worked out just fine. The ants dig relentlessly for weeks, and you can easily observe them constructing and connecting a maze of tunnels. It's utterly fascinating. The 6" x 5-1/2" x 1-1/4" thick space-age habitat comes with an educational booklet, simple instructions (there's practically nothing to do), the address of the ant dealer -- and a tight lid.

Despite parental advice, here's a good reason to sit in in a dark room and think small. This Plasma Storm isn't as large as a standard plasma ball, so not only is it much more affordable -- the effect is concentrated and startling. The black plastic base has a switch. Turn it on at which point the 3" dia plastic globe (think baseball size) is filled with blue stems that flare to pink, looking like dozens of electric flowers searching for a way out. Very cool. Comes with a 6-ft power cord with transformer.

All together now, boys and girls, can you say BARGAIN? A bonanza assortment of (100) 1/8" shank rotary tool attachments: wheels, brushes, stones, sanding wheels, buffing pads, and sundry other stuff. All in a nice wooden box with the latch on upside down-so write "top" on the top. Is that why it's here? That, and the cardboard sleeve that tells us to heed an "importan" warning.

We just wish there was something, anything, to do around here that required this thing, on account of it's so cool. Our newest Helping Hand has a pair of alligator clips on swiveling arms, likewise a 2-1/4" dia x 1.5X magnifier plus an LED flashlight on a gooseneck. Everything swivels every way there is and tightens with little thumbscrews-and some of the configurations look like it's maybe alive, and from Venus. Jewelry makers? Diamond cutters? Forensic scientists? Maybe we'll start making small electronics, or tying flies.

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.
