Bigfoot fans will be beside themselves with this triple Yeti collection of big hairy fun. You pick: the 5-1/4” tall big fella himself in authentic chocolate brown flexible rubber with, yes, big feet (approx 1-1/2” x 1”) and an equally big, embarrassed-looking grin (for ages 3+); or the Grow-Your-Own Bigfoot that sprouts from a tree stump when submerged in a container of water, and keeps growing as you increase the container size (for ages 5+); or the 2.4-oz tin of gooey Bigfoot scat, because no home is complete without a tin of abominable poop. For ages 3+ and marked “Do not ingest,” which is good advice for this or the real thing. Mfr says it's “play putty,” and we won't argue with that.

This 6” long dual-head air pressure gauge is from Slime®, our favorite company name. For auto and bike tires, it measures 10-120 PSI and comes with a pair of valve extenders. Includes a pocket clip. Pat says it's a step up in quality from the one in your glove compartment.

See through the lid or the jar. You pick the straight-sided translucent plastic jar with the white screw cap, which holds (2) oz and measures approx 2” tall x 2” dia; or its reverse, the straight-sided white plastic jar with the translucent screw cap, which holds (2) oz and measures approx. 2” tall x 2-1/16” dia.

It's either a magnetic latch or a pick-up tool, depending what you screw it onto. Magnet measures 2-1/4" x 1" with approx 35-lb pull. It’s mounted in a 4-1/4” x 1” blue plastic bracket with slotted holes to mount it parallel or perpendicular to the magnet. Comes with a 3-1/4” x 1” strike plate with (2) 9/16” bores.

These Ear Buddy® noise reduction headphones have a 27-DB reduction rating. We'll pick a pair in blue, purple or green because ears don't care. These aren’t adjustable and will fit only a small noggin, but that small noggin will enjoy some sweet noise-reduction sound, we can tell you that much.

Little is the operative word here. These surface-mount LEDs are perfect for hobby trains, dollhouses, even flashlights, anywhere you need tiny but bright lights.

Run it (3) hours a day and it'll cost $2.05 per year and last until the middle of October, 2043. Make a note to get a replacement. Or buy (2) and you're good till summer, 2066.

It’s back. Once upon a carnival, the bamboo back scratcher was the prize every kid came home with and there wasn’t an unscratched back in America--unless the kid came home with a goldfish, which are worthless for scratching backs. Now you can return to those thrilling days of yesteryear with our high-quality, 19” long bamboo back scratcher, and you don’t even have to go to a carnival to get it. This is not your dime store cheapo. Our scratcher is a real beauty.

This goldenesque rubber chicken can talk! Actually, squawk. Known as the Shrilling Chicken, it’s 11” long, in chicken-skin goldish color, complete with goose bumps, a squish me tag and don't forget the gaping mouth. Squeeze it for hours of humorous, attention-grabbing squawks. Work it into your stand-up routine or sneak it into parties. You’re hilarious!

The longest ear buds in all the land! A whopping 15 FEET long with a standard 1/8" jack.  We'll send (2) pair because we know you keep losing these things or ripping the wires off (although 15-foot leads may just take care of that little wire problem).

Why, when we were your age all we had to play with was a stick and an old tin can. But never mind that--now you too can make your own fun in the form of actual wind-up toys with this small wind-up motor with an attached pair of 9/16” dia wheels on a 1-1/8” wheelbase. The winding shaft is 1-1/8” long and the whole shebang measures 1-1/4" x 5/8" x 1/2" and has a good long running time of approx 10 seconds.

So many of your chia-like pots are likenesses of random animals and peculiar people. Redeem the pot-pet universe with some real talent. You pick Albert Einstein, Jane Austen or Sigmund (sometimes a plant is just a plant) Freud. Bases, with names, measure approx 3-3/8” x 2-1/2” with heads about 3-1/4” tall. In unglazed white ceramic, they'll hold a 2” mini flowerpot, or you can add potting soil and few pebbles. Perfect for small ferns, succulents or ivy, but if your thumb isn't green, just stick pencils in them.

You should carry your own luggage, given how little exercise you get. On the other hand, this clear plastic oblong jar (not to be confused with oval or elliptical) measures approx 3-1/8” tall x 2-1/2” x 2” and has a snazzy red plastic screw cap. Holds (4) oz. It’s one of those things you don’t know you need until you’re looking for it. You’ll get (10) per order.

Hawaiian band—five members, two feet each—and you should download their stuff. But it’s also the length of this USB to Type-C charging cable that will actually reach from the wall to the device on your dining room table. Rated for 2.4 amps and listed as 40X faster than your father's charging cable. Covered in black or gray nylon web with spring-protectors at the business ends.

Imagine 1” dia test tubes with a pair of tiny holes drilled opposite each other approx 5/8” from the top. Or don't imagine them, just look at the picture. We don't think they're borosilicate glass, but we could be wrong. Doesn't matter to us anyway, because we just use them to put flowers in and hang in the windows from monofilament. Clever crafters will no doubt create dozens of other uses. We know because Surpie crafters show us their craftiness. Our each is a pack of (12). Clear glass, and you pick the 4” or 6” long tubes.

Then get these actual horseshoes. These are not those Clydesdale-sized behemoths your grandfather used to toss at iron stakes. These are more like the delicate steel shoes you'd tack onto a filly's feet before the Breeders' Cup. Measure 4-3/4” long x 4-1/2" across x approx 1/4” thick. If your horse gets scratched from the race, just hang one of her shoes above a door for good luck. (Remember to put the tips up and the curved side down. Otherwise, all the luck will fall out and you'll be…out of luck.)

Not if you’re wearing these new, ultra-strong nitrile examination gloves, which are super grippy for the most slippery jobs. Perfect for cruddy jobs like cleaning the gutters, changing the oil on the car or that disgusting p-trap underneath the kitchen sink. These large, ambidextrous gloves measure approximately 9” long, are non-sterile and powder-free. Now for the Suplus Factor: We estimate by weight that there are about (70-80) per box, not (100) as labeled on the box so ignore it. They come in blue, yellow or white, which we’ll choose to at random.

You should, because you can't have too much wire. Half the world is held together with the stuff. This is a bundle of galvanized steel wire: (50) feet of 18-gauge; and (100) feet of 20-gauge. Keep it in your car for when something falls off.

These are goofy in the extreme, with fuzzy hair. Made to clip onto zippers, backpacks, key rings—anyplace you need a little goofeyness. Heads measure approx 1-3/4” high x 1-1/2” dia on a 1” chain with a 1” plastic-gate clasp. They have a 3/4” dia opening in the bottom so you can stick them on your fingers like little dopey puppets.

This is our cutest, and handiest, adjustable beam UV (395 nm wavelength) flashlight. Has a 3-stage switch: 50% brightness, 100% brightness or flashing. It comes on a lanyard if you don't have a pocket. Measures 3-3/4” long x 1” dia, in aluminum. You add a “AA” battery

From Scientific Explorer®, the people who start kids off right, comes this self-contained kit for kids 6+.

It’s a ninefer. This 6” long x 1/2” hex ball-point pen has a rubber stylus at the other end, which unscrews to reveal a tiny driver with both small Phillips and regular heads, while the shaft has a little bubble level and (4) rulers: 0-4” x 1/16”; 0-10cm x 1mm; and both 1/200mm and 1/300mm rulers. The ninth part is our name on the side, so you remember where the coolest stuff comes from. Plus it’s in the ruler shade of yellow, with a pocket clip. (Sorry, no laser.) Need more ink? Our refill pack is a set of (2) black and (2) blue cartridges. Just pull out the silver knurled tip of the pen to screw in a new ink cartridge and your Great American Novel will be finished in no time.

They don’t give them away in bars anymore, so you’d better buy this Matchstick Fire Starter. Has a 1-1/2" x 1-1/8" x 3/8" flint housing and a 1” striker with a small cotton wick around the end. Fill it with a little lighter fluid and you’re ready to start something. Includes a 1/2” clip to hang it on something. A must for camping.

Veterans will know this as an entrenching tool, but to everyone else it's a folding camp shovel. Our hardened steel version is 22-1/2" long when open, folds to a measly 9-1/2", and weighs just over 2-1/2 lbs. Blade is 8-1/4" long x 6" wide, serrated on one side. Fits into the light canvas pouch, which you can carry on your belt because you never know when you'll need to dig a hole.

Puffy is cool. Puffy means you cared enough not to go with flat. This deep garnet, puffy, felt-covered board is the sort of thing jewelers use to show diamonds to customers. You could do the same, or use it to showcase crafts, or paint deep-garnet velvet Elvis paintings on it. Measures 14" x 7-5/8" x 1/4" thick, counting puffiness, with a 1-1/2" ribbon hanging loop on one long side.

Make your own silicone bears! The 7-1/2” x 5” molds are silicone, and they make (50) tiny, chewy bears, each in the gummy standard of 3/4” tall—and you’ll get (2) molds so you can make (100) bears at a time. (Hip yourself to the Internets, of course, for chewy gummy recipes.) Silicone is non-stick, heat- and cold-resistant, and both freezer- and oven-safe up to 450F degrees, so you can make frozen and baked bears. Also dishwasher-safe. 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.

Because nothing says high fashion like flashspun high-density polyethylene fibers. Made by DuPont. We've gots some nice extra-large pants and some 62" long coveralls, all with very elastic waists. 24" waist and 47" long on the pants. Great for paint, garden work or giving the dog a bath. 

The snazzy part is the metallic-toned bottoms. These nylon pouches are 6" deep x 3-3/4" lined and lightly padded. Have drawstrings and spherical cord locks, plus small tabs on the back, which would take a neck cord if you had one. You pick black and olive green with metallic-toned checkerboard bottom, or red with gold-tone bottom.

What we have here is the LARGEST neoprene rubber gasket in all the land. It measures 25/32" diameter and is as big as Pat stretched out all the way. (approx. 60" across when relaxed.) What was it for you might ask. We were told for sealing some form of shipping containers. What can you use it for? How about a huge slingshot, super exercise bands, tug of war or you use your imagination. Stamped on the side is PRESS-SEAL GASKET CORP and the numbers MSL78-25/32" NEOPRENE MSD-2/89 for what that's worth. Now go get all gasket-ie.

Keep the skeeters out with this 2-part black nylon mesh curtain. Measures 78” long and hangs from a spring-loaded curtain rod that compresses to 25” and decompresses up to 46”. Curtain halves are 19-5/8” wide  held together by rubber-coated magnets, and with hook-n-loop pads at each corner for mounting to door frame.

Our buy of the millennium is this rich, dark-brown leatherette (our vendor swears they are leather but we will say leatherette) military map/attache case from the Czech army. Measures approx. 11" x 14" in portrait orientation and will expand to approx 3" with an 11" pocket in the flap, (3) interior sections, (2) of them a full 14" deep, plus card, pen and miscellaneous slots and pockets on the inside, plus-plus it has a slide catch with a lock and a teeny key. Best of all, it could have been made for carrying tablets and i-Devices of all sorts, or even books (which are sort of like thick iPads). Has a leatherette handle on top, plus a detachable and adjustable 48" long strap. Hardware is deco-ish bright chrome. These are used in good condition. A few even have a grainy texture to them instead of smooth, but surplus rules apply and you get what you get without throwing a fit.

Our each is (3) sets of gaming dice, (7) campaign dice per set, with black pouches for carrying them. Made for role-playing and board games, you'll get (1) set each of blue with a black swirl, shimmering purple, and shimmering emerald—all with gold inlaid numbers and 6/9 indicators. Each set has (1) d4, d6, d8, d12, d20, and (2) d10 percentile dice, (1) with 10S and the other with single digits. Use to slay dragons and journey through the deepest dungeons, or just to upgrade your Monopoly nights. Officially judged “nice dice, dudes” by the office gaming geeks. Ages 8+.

Yes, there’s a scientific explanation, but we prefer to think this magnetizing/demagnetizing tool relies on magic. Stick a screwdriver head in the bottom, it’s magnetized. Stick it in the top, it’s demagnetized. Fun for the whole family. Measures 2” square x 1-1/4” with stair-step ports for blades of different sizes. Never drop a screw again.

When see you a box of Round Plates marked “Square Plates,” there’s only one thing to do: tilt your head back and shout “Surplus!” We’ve got a bunch of said boxes, filled with (60) Alpha & Sigma fine china-looking round white plates with silver accent lines around both the edge and that little valley in the middle that keeps food from escaping. They’re plastic but you wouldn’t know it unless you picked one up. You’ll get (30) at 10-1/2" dia and (30) at 7-1/2" dia. Of course they’re BPA-free, but don’t microwave them. Reusable even though they’re marked “Single Use.” Perfect to have handy for large gatherings…oh, wait.

Were you the one who needed an industrial relay? Oh, great, because here’s one from Midtex, and it’s rated for 30A and 1HP at 120VAC; 30A and 1.5HP at 240VAC; and 15A at 600VAC. Has SPST normally-closed load contacts, and coil will draw 25mA at 12VDC. Measures 2" x 1-3/4" x 2-3/8", including a plastic bracket on the face. Has 1/4" quick-disconnect terminals on the bottom.

Call them the croupier's keepers of keepsakes. This pair of nesting wooden boxes are solid and handcrafted to look like white dice with black pips. Fully assembled, they have sliding hinges so the tops will stand open. Our each is a pair. The large one is an 8-1/2" cube; nested inside is a 7" cube. Both have finished white interiors. Will they compliment your decor? Life's a crapshoot—take a chance—but we bet these classic black-and-white bones will look good anywhere. Go ahead, count the compliments you get on them.

Bandages in tins. We feel sorry for those flesh-colored bandages that are just trying to hide. Stand up and be healed with bandages that make a statement! Say Oink with this box of (15) sterile photo reproductions of a raw bacon slice, plus a bonus plastic pig in every tin. Or stick one of (15) 3” x 1” latex-free bandages with a creepy picture of a leech on your arm and tell people “This is not a leech” in an honor of Rene Magritte's “This is not a pipe” painting. Give them a little lesson in the treachery of images. How about a bandage for bravery for that scratched elbow during gym class. 

And now two heads can be brighter with this (2)-pack of rechargeable headlamps. Settings for 120 and 350 lumens in low spot and flood beam modes. Has a head strap with a snap-in mount for the light so it can be removed to charge via a Micro-USB jack. Light swivels 90-degrees and has a magnet on one end for your magnetic convenience. Stretchy headbands fit the largest noggins and the lamps are water- and impact-resistant.

But it will still keep the flying critters out of your kitchen. This hanging screen is made of a plastic fabric mesh and will fit doorways up to 36” x 80”, but works best in slightly narrower ones to allow some side overlap. Works great on campers, RVs, trailers and the like where you really need to let air flow or buy four and build a giant insect cage that can cover a small tree. Installs with adhesive hook-and-loop tabs and has a weighted bottom, so it won’t flap in the wind. Portable, handy and ready for summer. Just like you.

Or pflöcke und stöcke maybe. Und strick (rope). These are tent pegs, sections of poles and rope from the East German military, which has been kaputt for some time. You’ll get (10) pole segments at 15-1/2" long x 15/16" dia that will interlock, plus (14) 9-7/8" long x 1-1/2" galvanized steel stakes, and (5) 48" x 3/16" dia lengths of pre-knotted rope, all in a camo pouch. Better go find some German canvas.
