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.

Finders, Keepers!

It has a submersible 8" dia coil, an adjustable shaft that telescopes from 16" to 28", a handle with an arm support, an analog meter, (3) different audio tones, and a headphone jack.

Mylar Warmth
They have the look of something designed for the space program. They're mylar, a paper-thin shiny metallic sheet, that comes in handy when your car breaks down in winter, or when you're separated from your climbing group on the slopes of Mt. McKinley. Barring that, they're also a perfect material for a do-it-yourself cold-climate Halloween costume-near impossible to rip by hand, but cut easily with scissors. There's no padding, so they wouldn't be too comfy on your bed, but they sure are warm. They both come folded about the size of a wallet. The Blanket is 52" x 82", the Sleeping Bag is 34" x 84".

A good-looking brushed steel and aluminum, it comes in a brushed steel case. Useful from the lab to the kitchen, and fun, CJ says, for adults of all ages.

Survival Kit
Someday when you're lost in the woods, you'll be very, very glad you ordered this compact survival kit. It's the classic camp director's whistle, raised to new heights. The 4-1/2" x 1-1/8" dia orange-plastic treasure hangs around your neck on a yellow nylon cord. On one end, the whistle. On the other, a compass. Unscrew the compass, and it reverses to a signal mirror, and reveals a 2-1/2" deep waterproof compartment for aspirin or medicinal brandy - or for the matches you're going to strike against the 3/4" long sparker. No, it's not overkill for a teacher to wear it on the playground. 'S cool.
