Call it pocket microscopy. Our teensiest tiniest double-lens microscope is just 1-1/2” long x 19/32” dia with a barrel that will pull out another 1/2” for coarse focus. Rated at 16X, includes (3) AG7 batteries and comes with a teensy tiny carrying pouch.

It’s both, but we like to call clear glass spheres like this one “orbs.” Measures 60mm dia, or a little under 2-1/2”. Often used by photographers for skewed effects, or as decorations in aquariums, gardens or potted plants, or as super-jumbo marbles, or for contact juggling by goblin kings. Super-trippy when light hits it, especially when it rolls. We used ours as a crystal ball and saw into your future. Don’t worry—it’s good. You’re going to buy a glass orb from us at a great price.

That’s just how we roll, but you can wear these foldable hipster shades with UV400 protection anytime you want. Not good enough?

Will you be upset if you leave them at the restaurant or in Suzy’s car? At less than 2 bucks a pair, not a chance. Buy a dozen for the summer, and if you haven’t lost a few come fall, bonus! In black, red or white, but we’ll pick for you.

These could also be the steampunkiest-looking item we’ve ever offered.

This 10" rotating double disc is a map of the planets, stars and constellations, useful across a large range of the northern latitudes, although most accurate in the range of 35° to 45° north. It can be aligned to the time and date in your location to display a detailed map, and includes tips on finding the planets, suggestions for telescope projects, and more.

From Humvee®, the folks who make those wide, squatty military vehicles, this 12X30 telescoping spotting scope is 5-1/2" long when retracted, 15" extended, and 1-1/2” dia. Box says it’s a “telescope,” but what do boxes know? We have to say, we’ve seen better—this one’s field of view is a little narrow—but we love it for hiking, biking and camping since it weighs less than a 1/2-lb. 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.
