New category of figurines: zombie gnome. It was bound to happen, with all those dating apps out there. Ours is made of nicely detailed polyresin, approx 7-1/2” tall, even with its neck bent to the side, on a 4-1/4” wide base painted to look like blood-stained grass. Sickly green skin, a classic red gnome hat and a bit of exposed brain contribute to its authenticity.

These assorted colored balloons come in packs of (25), and they should inflate to approx 9", which in our eyes is the perfect size for a balloon. You’ll get (3) packs for a total of (75) balloons. In case you forgot, balloons don’t go bad, so it’s always a good idea to have a supply on hand.

The electronics world does not live by ziptie alone. These black nylon hook-and-loop ties measure 10” long x 1/2” wide and have a small, elongated eyelet so cables can be attached to the tie. Come in packs of (20) ties. Hook-and-loop fabric means they can be daisy-chained to take bigger bundles.

An adult swimmer like you doesn’t have to freshen your auto air with another pine tree hanging from your rear-view mirror. Try this 3" dia Rick and Morty air freshener, redolent, the package says, of genuine New Car Scent, which turns out to be vaguely soapy/detergentish. Like a laundromat, but in a good way. Made in the USA.

Once upon a time, backpack users stuck both arms through both straps, but then your cool one-armed pack-slinging caught on, and thus in the fullness of time, the sling bag was born. So, herewith: the chartreuse nylon sling, 18" x 12" x 6" with a single adjustable 3-1/2” wide strap. Also has a zipper along one side, a flap with a 12" x 6" pocket and another 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" outside pocket, both zippered. There’s more: a 6" x 4-3/8" x 8" mesh pocket that will snap to the side, along with a 7" x 5" mesh sleeve on the other side, where you could keep a water bottle. Includes a gasketed port for a headphone cord, and a final 4" x 3" mesh sleeve on the shoulder strap.

It’s a little known fact that dinosaurs lived in barns, but this colorful, delightfully cartoony (24)-piece 8" x 10" dinosaur-themed puzzle really brings that idea home since it comes in an attractive and vaguely barn-shaped storage container.

Even if you're not a female flamingo yourself, you can still hatch an adorable hot pink flamingo. You’ll get an equally hot pink, 4-1/4" egg, which you immerse in water and wait a couple-three days while it hatches and grows to 8”+ tall. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Take Pinky out of the water and he or she will shrink back to egg-size and regrow endless times. (The egg, however, will be history.)

Flip up the 2-1/2” brim on this soft, camo battle cap from the Italian military, and you’ll achieve something like a Beetle Bailey insouciance, with an Italian flavor. Call it sprezzatura. (Just go look it up, Sparky.) Sized M, but ours was a touch tight on a 7-3/8 capo, so think S/M. Has an elastic band in back, and little vents on the sides for you hotheads.

Too many of your wacky marble-run contraptions are tiny and made to stick on refrigerators, we think. Herewith, the solution: a 70-piece kit with ramps, tracks, funnels, stops, gears, levers, cups, animals and steel balls.

Eye lenses measure 2-3/16" dia and the front of the mask ends in a snout-like fitting for a filter, which you won't get because we don't got.  (We think it is a standard size) As usual, don't wear these masks into any "situations"--they're for decorative purposes only.

Meet the STEM-friendly hydraulic gearbot.

In dye-cut plywood, it takes an hour or two for an 8+ year-old. Includes all parts. All you add is patience and water.

These gray nylonesque pouches with a logo were made to hold something called or made by lifft®, which seems to no longer exist. Nice pouches, though. Each is 10-5/8" long x 4-7/8" wide, flat, with a snap closure that goes through from the back at about 1-1/2" from the top. We're thinking tools, utensils for campers, documents, toiletries, batteries, wet stuff, dry stuff, damp stuff, stuff.

Nope--we thought it was a theodolite-- a surveying instrument for measuring angles in horizontal and vertical planes, but it seems we missed the mark.

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.

This red-rubber stiletto heel is ready to stick its pointed toe under your door and make you proud. Measures 7” long x 4-1/2” tall at, of course, the heel. Our each is one shoe, but we think a pair looks better.

Measures 7-1/4” x 7” x 4-1/4” with thumb and hand straps, plus a strap to keep it shut between performances.

This solar-cell, sonic Rodent Repeller™ has a 2-1/2" dia x 15/16" head with a solar cell that charges a "AAA" battery.

The whole shebang is mounted to a 9" plastic stake which, when pounded into the lawn, is water- and lawnmower-proof with a sealed main power switch.

Measure 9”, 7” and 5-3/4” long, respectively, and they’re made to sit on a mantel or shelf with their necks extended out and down, overhanging the edge, so they stare at you, as ducks will. You can even put them in a row if you want.
