You haven’t had Architectural Digest calling to take photos, have you? Right…so just trust us and we’ll pick a possibly tasteful vinyl wall cling for you. Order (2) and we’ll send (2) different ones. They measure 39-1/2" x 17-1/4", with images to enchant your visitors and raise your profile in the interior design community. Selections include Frankenstein, Cold Beer, Flaming Skulls, Butterflies, Peace Signs, Lighthouses, Checkered Flags, Motorcycles and many, many more, all re-postionable so you can change your decor as often as your socks.

Our each is (84) inches of stretchy, 6” wide cotton (we think) white gauze. How stretchy is it? Ours pulled out to about (11) feet, which covers a lot of owies.

All the really cool faces do. If yours doesn’t, you’d best get this white plastic face mask, complete with red, yellow, blue, green and two glow-in-the-dark pots of paint. Good, clean, crafty fun (and no actual human face to clean up afterwards), popular at parties and pretty much guaranteed to get you a seat on the bus.

Sort-of maybe perhaps shaped like a little race car, it has a 2” long knife blade, 9/16” dia compass on a stick, 1/8” driver with bottle opener and file, #2 Phillips driver, awl and 1-1/8” corkscrew, plus a bore to hang it from your key-chain. Sides are black plastic. Go stuff a stocking.

Got boring throw pillows? We feel your boredom. Try these 18” square (a common throw-pillow size) nylon pillow covers to bring a touch of whimsy to your couch. You pick: the pug dressed as Henry VIII, as they will if left to their own devices; the cat dressed as Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I; or the corgi with top hat, bow-tie and monocle, which they wear when the queen’s not around.

Our each is tub of glitter putty, born at the confluence of silly putty and Ziggy Stardust, with (3) distinct layers of glittery gloop, which Paul, our VP for Gloop Nomenclatura, assures us are heliotrope, apple green and public swimming pool blue. Also smells like Dippity Do, but don’t put it in your hair. You’ll get 4-1/2 ounces, which is more than your mother would like you to have.

It’s a proven stress reliever, banana knotting, and you can participate with our mega-squishy stress banana. Measures 6” long but will stretch to a couple feet. Filled with stress-relieving gel beads, and will take a good long time to return to its original banana shape, which just adds to your relief.

It’s an actual air pistol, on account of it shoots a puff of air. Not unlike those giant air cannons, but in a manageable size, and better for office situations. Imagine the cubicle wars you could have with a few of these--and no one would get hurt! Range is approx 8 feet. Like the larger cannons do, this pistol will blow out birthday candles, but you’ll need much better aim. Measures a mere 3-1/2" x 2" with a rubber membrane, a 2-1/2” handle, and a folding sight.

You could go find the actual critters under the Antarctic ice, in space or eating rotten veggies in your garden, or you could just get our nice plush versions. Our cuddly bug collection includes: the fuzzy roly poly, called the pill bug, woodlouse and worse, that inhabits damp spots in your garden, but ours is 7” long in two-tone blue with a happy smile, perky ears and a tripartite tail; and the furry tardigrade, a fluffy version of a thing that’s normally darn-near microscopic, called a water-bear or moss piglet, that’s a bug relative--a crustacean that you don’t want in your bed. Our version is 9“ x 5” in powder blue plush, and it looks more like a six-legged furry hamster. These toys are considerably more pleasant than the real things, which your mother wouldn’t let you keep anyway. Plus they’re washable!

The Red Baron would have killed for these flex-frame tactical goggles. Measure 5-3/4” across with padded eyepieces, adjustable 1” wide elastic bands and impact-resistant lenses with UV400 protection. You pick the black frames with smoked lenses, the black frames with yellow lenses, or the coyote brown frames with yellow lenses.

From Marbleocity®, the STEM specialists who combine technical education with marbles to make it all more fun. You pick: the Archimedes screw-maker kit that will yield, yes, a working Archimedes screw in wood and plastic, approx 6" tall on a 4" x 6"base; or the Chaos Mountain-maker kit, which demonstrates the random action of mountain creation and will be approx 6” x 4” in wood and plastic when complete. Both are beginner-level, will take approx an hour to build, and include graphic-comic book instructions.

Organize those loose magazines and brochures. Elegantly designed (slightly assorted styles) with a glossy finish, these cardboard file/holders are sure to please. 11-3/4” high x 3-1/2” wide x approx. 9-1/8” deep, open at the top and 3/4” of the front (or back, depending on how you file them.) They come flat, have easy pop-up assembly and we will pick two for you. 

Imagine a not-unteletubbyish space guy, but with a couple sets of rotors in his head, and the ability to hover. Has sensors on his feet so he knows where the ground (our your hand) is, and he’ll keep hovering. Plus his blue eyes flash on and off, like a short, intergalactic Frank Sinatra. Measures 5” tall with a 5-1/2” rotor-span. Powered by an internal battery, rechargeable via a USB port with the included 10” cord. Run time is 4-5 mins.

And we say that with a history of silly that’s virtually unmatched. You slip on this pair of lens-less glasses with the tiny bucket and ball on a string attached, and try, while looking like a demented chipmunk, to swing the little ball on its cord and drop it into the cup. In red and blue plastic, you will be filmed on a smart phone, it will be put on social media, and you will be famous for it for the rest of your life. Best to order a couple so you’re not alone.

It’s a little jewelers loupe. The loupe is little, not the jewelers, although they could be short, but we’ve never actually seen the jewelers who use these, so…oh, never mind--it’s shiny brass and would look jewel-like hung on a chain. Measures a teardroppy 1-1/8" x 7/8" x 3/4" shape, and folds out to reveal an 18mm dia glass lens with approx 10X magnification.

Imagine a game app, but in wood. Measures 6” x 3-1/4” x 3/8”, like an iPhone 6-Plus, but you never have to charge it and there’s no glass to break. Has (42) colorful geometric shapes in a wooden frame, and all you have to do is take the shapes out and try to fit them back in again, which is harder than it sounds, but that’s what puzzles are for.

This 2” dia x approx 3/4” thick disc holds a retractable 1/4" wide, 60” long vinyl tape measure inside. Marked in 1/16” increments, it has 150mm, in 1mm increments, on the other. Has stop clicks and push-button rewind, and is on a 1” chain with a very cute 1-1/2” carabiner for attaching it to a key chain. In white and translucent neon colors, which we’ll select for you because in your busy life who has the time?

Looks like a missing part from the Starship Enterprisingly, but it’s really just a dandy little 12VDC piston-action water pump. Originally used for medical purposes. Draws 600mA, has a rate and lift on the low side but should be fine for continuous use for you fountain fans. Measures an L-shaped 5-3/8" x 4-5/8" x 3-1/2", with barbed 1/4” output and 5/32” input diameters.

From our Unlikely Combination Division comes our first-ever wind-up vehicle capable of climbing any vertical ferrous-metal surface, like your filing cabinet or (non-stainless) fridge, thanks to tiny embedded magnets. Also chugs along on the horizontal. Measures 1-7/8" x 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" tall with the winder. In assorted colors that we'll decide on, thank you very much.

Great balls of air! The mighty AIRZOOKA is back--and as cool as ever! Looking like a plastic bucket with a handle and a flip-up gun sight, it blasts a puff of air up to 50 feet. Blow out candles from across the room (and avoid spitting on birthday cakes), spook the cat, disperse bugs, take target practice at styrofoam cups or buy a pair and play air-tag. Measures roughly 11” tall x 11” dia in bright blue plastic and is, frankly, much more fun than you would imagine.

Teensy tiny brushes for cleaning teensy tiny tubes, airbrushes, spray guns, tattoo equipment, nozzles, etc. Think miniature bottle brushes. You get a set of (5) brushes: 1/32", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8" and 3/16" dia. All have nylon bristles, are 4" long, and are on a slip ring so you won't lose them.

These translucent plastic envelopes are 11-3/8" x 9-1/2" in a lovely blue-gray tint with a fold-over flap to keep papers from sliding out. Long side has a silver strip suitable for writing contents on with a marker. You'll receive (3) packs of (5) for a total of (15) envelopes, or enough to organize all those store discount cards you've amassed.

Nope--it's a decidedly non-theological surveying instrument for measuring angles in horizontal and vertical planes, although some (and we think maybe these, given the OD paint) are used by the military in meteorology and rocketry. Measures approx 7-1/2" x 5" x 4" with a plethora of moving parts: optical head that pivots up and down; focal knob calibrated from 0 to -90 and +10 to + 80; horizontal and vertical adjustments with a locking lever; and a 1-5/8" dia ball with a 1/2" hole in the bottom for a mount. Weighs in at over 5 lbs. The paint is chipping, but you would too at this age.

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

From the Hungarian army and headed your way, these helmets have padded adjustable leather inserts in olive drab steel pots with adustable chin straps. All are lightly used but in good condition.

From ET Tech, this series 23 liquid micro-pump draws less than 300mA at 4-6VDC (5VDC nominal) with a liter-per-minute flow rate and up to a 3-foot lift. Not submersible, but suitable for hot-water apps and continuous duty. Measures 1" x 1" dia with a barbed 1/4" right-angle outlet and a 3/8" OD inlet on top. Great for fountains!

We had a brother-in-law like that, but this is a Philips bright-white LED floodlight. With a medium base (think standard light bulbs), and rated for 500 lumens. Made to replace a 50W incandescent, it draws a stingy 6W, and is instant-on and dimmable. Measures 2-1/2” at the lens with a 35-degree beam angle. At (3) hours usage per day, it will last 22 years and 9 months, but don’t call us if it’s a month short of that.

From iZoom®, our light source of choice, comes this tiny flood that lights way above its weight. Hard to believe (but true) that such a small package is rated for a staggering 500 lumens with (21) white LEDs that have a 30,000-hour life. It’s also indoor/outdoor weatherproof! Measures just 5” x 3-1/8” x approx 1-1/4” with a booted power switch and gasketed battery compartment for the (3) included “AA”s. Includes an adjustable C-bracket for hanging, standing or mounting to the included 4” x 5” base. Should run for a steady 2-1/2 hours on fresh batteries.

Includes a foam disc shooter (you can’t do that on Mars), music sound generator, digital voice recorder, red and blue side lights and sound effects.

Check out Elenco video.
