Our Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifying Bags eliminate odors while purifying the air, and they're reusable.

We'll send you (4) bags at 6" x 5" and (2) at 7" x 3". They're gray and stylish, plus "S"-shaped hooks for hanging them. Reusable, non-toxic, eco-friendly and fragrance-free. These are, by far, the freshest bags we sell.

Old MacDonald had a very odd farm. And you can too, with this farmload of (10) baby animals, including a calf, rabbit, piglet, baby chick, duckling, lamb, kid (that's a baby goat, kids), kitten and beagle puppy. All are plastic and approx 1-1/2” long x 1” to 1-1/2” tall, which makes for a scale that's a tad whimsical, with the little chick standing taller than the piglet and the rabbit appearing to outweigh the lamb by a factor of five or six. They're all as cute as the dickens, though.

Without making you go to the seashore. Our each is a 3” dia x 6-1/2” tall clear glass jar full of sea shells. You might get periwinkles, what look like augers, or sea snails.

Number depends on size, but you’ll get 15-20 oz of shells, in a jar officially marked “Assorted.” Jars are stoppered with big corks with a little charming raffia around the neck.

They’ve also got that indentation thing in the middle, so stuff won’t roll out, because your guests aren’t always as sophisticated as your affairs.

Same place the tigers play with the triceratopses—in our warehouse. We've come by a trove of excellent critters from Nature World®, all in hard rubber and mostly measuring 9” to 11” from snout to tail, or jaws to derrières. In this trove we've seen lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, and more dinosaurs than you could shake a paleontologist at. Build a zoo, prehistoric or not, or just ignore science and let the lions lie down with the stegosauruses, and that is too the plural, you could look it up. You'll get a (4) different beasties.

And easy to store. One of the better pick-up tools we've seen. Folds to just over 16" to store, but locks open at 30" with spring steel arms on an aluminum frame. It has soft, suction-cup-shaped grabbers and big, locking pistol grip. Pretty good gripping capacity too-maybe to 10 lbs or so.

Inflatable air loungers are all the rage, and we’ve got ’em! Ours weighs just a smidge over 2 lbs, and when it’s folded and stuffed into its bag with shoulder strap, it measures a mere 14” x 8” x 6”. No pump required! Just swing it around to fill the pockets with air (or use the wind), snap it shut and plop down. Great for the pool, beach, concert, game, picnic, campsite or living room. Hey, it’s your life. When inflated it’ll look like a 20” high x 30” wide x 70” long hot dog bun.

Your choose what color but at this price they won’t sit around here for long.

Our robotic kingii dragon (Chlamydosaurus kingii, or frilled-neck lizard) is better than a puppy because you don't have clean up after it and it won't chew the furniture.

We’ve got (12) different types and we’ll pick (3) different ones for you.

Zivko the Robot. Our best selling STEM kit ever! Just call her (or him--it’s unclear and we don’t like to ask) “Zivko” because “the Robot” is her last name. Using just a screwdriver and side cutters, you build Zivko from this 107-piece S.T.E.M. kit. Set the mode for “Follow Me” or “Explore,” and Zivko will, yes, track you, or evade obstacles, respectively, via an infrared sensor and micro-controller programming.
