Hockey legend Eddie Olczyk often had reason to raise his hands in the air, and now, with this 7” tall bobblehead, he’ll be frozen in that position forever. He’s wearing purple boxing gloves, and a Chicago Blackhawks jersey (also purple) with the team’s iconic logo on the front and his name and number 16 on the back. Why? Because this was a “2019 Hockey Fights Cancer” promo item from CIBC bank, as you’ll see on the round base. A must for every hockey fan in Chicago, Toronto, Winnipeg, New York, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and all the NHL cities in between that Eddie didn’t play for but probably won in.

This is one of those heat-morphing mugs that start off one way and end up another after you pour your favorite hot beverage into them. We can’t get enough of them, and this (12)-oz’er from Kikkerland® is particularly cool, starting out black with skulls, anchors, ships and sea creatures, and morphing—with the addition of liquid—into a full-color map of Skull Island. Works the same with coffee, tea, cocoa or rum, as long as it’s hot enough. Load up on caffeine to follow the map, and save the rum for the celebration.

For the steady-handed model-maker. These mini-models from Metal Earth® premium series and are demanding and beautiful.

Focus by easing one section in or out a bit. Has a rubber-coated body, and comes in a nice soft case with a belt loop and a lens cleaning cloth.

This isn’t a pub that sells only watered-down beer, but you already knew that. Gotta start the description somehow. Our 12” long, 1” dia Touch Light Bar from Kikkerland® is great for under-cabinet lighting, but also works nicely on mirrors (with its suction-cup mount) to help with make-up sessions, tweezering and all that stuff. Go ahead and put it anywhere, actually, since it has no wires and runs on (3) “AAA” batteries, which you supply. But hey, we’ve taken you this far. Almost done.
