Cute as cubic buttons, these mini versions of the classic cube puzzle brain teaser are small enough, at 1-1/8” on a side, to drop in a pocket. Also less likely to get confiscated by teachers. Our each is a bag of (12). We're thinking party favors if there are ever parties again.

And the word is for you to cool it. You're going to get overheated if you don't order one of these little black plastic desk fans.

The “I Dig It! Fossils” kit was the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio’s Platinum Award winner in 2018, and we think it's still a winner because fossils are really old anyway, and never go out of style. Unlike all the u-dig-’em-up fossil kits out there, this one features real fossils, in multiples. A color manual includes intros to fossils and paleontology, with instructions on making a grid and working slowly with the included metal-tip chisel, weighted hammer/pick and sponge. Fossils include snails and snail aggregate, stony coral, shark teeth and pre-amber resin. From Thames & Kosmos® and for ages 7+, especially those interested in how the pros do it.

Shaped like a thick hockey puck, this Bluetooth® speaker won’t knock your teeth out (like a real hockey puck) but it might blow your mind. Rechargeable and portable, the speaker measures 2-1/2” dia x 1-1/2” thick in dark blue with the logo of the bank whose name adorns a hockey rink in Our Nation's Capital. Feel free to cover it up, like the Blackhawks fans in our office did. Rechargeable batteries are lithium, which is better, and it charges via the included USB to micro-USB cord. Comes with a microphone, microSD card slot, volume control, play/pause/phone selector, and next-song feature.

Yes, of course they have a gift shop. Hogwarts is tuition-free, but you try to run a school for wizards waiting for the Ministry of Magic funding to come through.

You will get all (4) patches for Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin Houses. The crests measure approx 4” x 3-1/8” and you can iron them onto your jeans, jacket, hat, backpack, bathrobe or anything else, because you don't have a magic needle. Don't glue them to the door of your room until you ask your mother, or the dean.

Signet rings? Class rings? What are you, applying for a job? Going to visit your grandmother? Time to release your inner public nuisance and wear something that will get you a seat on the bus. You pick: the Dinosaur collection, featuring snarling examples of a dozen different extinct but scary beasts; or the Dragon group, also snarling and most with horns of some kind.

Time to bring some bamboo into your life. We've all suffered suspicious odors in our homes, shoes, luggage and cars, but the stink stops here. Our Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifying Bags eliminate odors while purifying the air, and they're reusable. Stuff them into your shoes, boots, luggage, drawers or closets, or place them in your car, laundry area, pantry, living room, bedroom or bathroom, and let them do their thing.

Safety is as safety does these days, and we recommend these high-quality, safety goggles, unvented for maximum splatter protection and ANSI Z87.1-rated. Measure 6” wide x 3-5/8” tall x 3-1/8” deep. The black elastic strap is adjustable, and the flexible sides and top allow for a better seal against the face.

Goggles are sealed in a bag and the vendor says sterile if un-opened, which is good since you just washed your hands. We’ve seen them selling for $9-plus in the Ama-zone. Our price is better, right? Our bulk pricing makes them great for the workplace or schools.

Resistance bands. No, not a bunch of obstreperous rockers, but home gyms small enough to stick in your hip pocket. These rubber stretch bands are 6-1/4” wide and will stretch to (9) feet. Good for full-body strength training, yoga or Pilates, or just a little light body stretching. In the resistance-band universe, these would be medium strength. We'll send you (1) in red or blue depending on what's on top of the pile. Your muscles won’t care—they’ll thank you.

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. Sit in it longways, for a hammock pose, or the other way, where it becomes a single lounge chair--or a love seat if you’re willing to share.

Includes a small dropper for filling the molds, and the manufacturer doesn't mention it, but we wonder if, as an homage to your grandmother, you might be able to make teeny tiny ursine Jell-O molds.

They’ve been around forever and they still need a better name. Like the tin ones of yore, but these are in 3-1/2” square wooden frames, and much classier because you try to roll the BBs into star constellations instead of clowns' eyeballs or golf holes. We've got the whole of the Zodiac and we'll pick (4) different ones because you think we've nothing to do but stand in the warehouse and find your sign for you?

If your knot-tying skills are a clove hitch short of Eagle Scout, you'll want this set of CamJams, cord-tightening carabiners.

Anchor the carabiner to any hook, D-ring, or loop and feed your cord through, then pull firmly until the cam locks. Sounds ridiculously easy, does is knot? Works with 1/16" to 3/16" diameter cords. 

This Lighthouse H2O filtering water pitcher is BPA-free, holds 3-2/3 quarts (that’s 3-1/2 liters) and measures approx 11-1/2” tall x 10-1/3” deep x 5-7/8” wide.

Doublet lens is 15mm across in a plastic body. There’s some slight edge distortion, but for the magnifying power, size, and convenience, it’s hard to beat.

Because your steady hand isn’t really as steady as it used to be, is it? No, and if you’re like us, it never really was in the first place. Why not admit it and get these 60-yard rolls of 1-3/8” wide, blue painter’s masking tape. Made in the European Union, where they hate wiggly lines.
