PARTY SUPPLIES & COSTUMES

Much more fashion-forward than those helmets, these NASA caps are the ones astronauts wear for the annual softball game against the cosmonauts, or to walk their dogs on the space station. In black, it's made of 100% brushed cotton twill, low-profile and adjustable. The front panel is reinforced with buckram to give it structure. The familiar NASA “worm” logo is stitched in white on the front. Classic.

Hang it around your neck, maybe. This yin and yang necklace features the classic symbol, 3/4” dia in black and white (duh), hanging on a 16” black cord. Duality rules, dudes and dudettes.

We suppose commercial space travel is fine, if you can afford it, but let’s not forget the little agency we all used to cheer on when driving across three states for vacation seemed like a big deal. Show your love to the professionals with our official NASA gear. You pick: the NASA Meatball Logo patch is rayon, approx 4” in dia, with a hook and loop back for attaching to various clothing and gear, but you could sew it on something, too; or the sturdy, brushed twill, one-size-fits-most, low-profile black cap with (6) panels, (6) vents, an adjustable hook and look strap, and the classic Meatball Logo, approx 2-1/2” dia. The logo’s blue sphere represents a planet, stars represent space, the red v-shaped vector represents aeronautics, and the oval swoosh represents an orbiting spacecraft. Just so you know.

If you love the electric and primary-colored hair you’ve been seeing lately but don’t want your kids to go all-in with dye jobs of their own, we’ve got them covered. At least, we’ve got their heads covered. Let them be edgy only when they want to with our wacky 11” nylon mohawk wigs, each connected to an elastic skullcap with (6) white LEDs that strobe, flash or pulse, powered by (3) included AG-13 batteries.  Black, green and orange, and in kid sizes, but feel free to get one for yourself if you think you can squeeze into it. Ages 3+.

Those long nights trudging from tiki bar to tiki bar are over. You can now decorate your fro-frou drinks in the comfort of your own basement rec room with this package of (50) 4” long toothpick umbrellas. In dark blue and discretely branded with a vodka logo, you’ll find they’re a nice complement to the neon red of old-fashioned maraschino cherries. Plus it’ll never rain in your drink.

Hey, steampunk! We got your bag-o-gears right here, mostly the sort of thing that went into clocks and watches before quartz crystals and cell phones, when stuff was much cooler. But wait. Don't plan on building an actual machine with these gears--they're strictly decorative. No one will know that, though, when these industrial beauties are hanging from a chain around your neck. You get about (20) gears and flywheels in sizes ranging from 1/4" to maybe 1-1/4" in brass, bronze and gold tones.

We don’t know who invented this hat, but we're sure whoever did would want you to wear it with attitude. In black or brown polyester faux-felt, it’s a tall top hat adorned with decoratives gears. Measures 5” tall and fits a wooden mannequin head perfectly.

Small, but cute and handy, especially for school settings, these 6-1/4” x 4-1/2” folding black cardboard chalkboard easels make perfect, and reusable, name cards for meetings, table numbers, whatever. Write on them with standard chalk, or use white marker to make it permanent.

If you’ve ever carelessly put a zebra down on your dining room table, you know how badly they can stain things. To protect your valuable surfaces from stains of any sort, try these 8" dia round paper doilies in an attractive zebra print design. Our each is a pack of (16).

But genuine faux fur, not your ersatz faux fur. This acrylic pillbox hat is just like the ones Audrey Hepburn wore, but really fuzzy. In a shiny minkish black, it's labeled one-size-fits-all, but it's on the small side, although slightly stretchy. Pat's noggin is a 7-3/8 and it was a tight fit. Also made him look like a Russian spy, but he kinda does anyway. It's our bargain entry point for Yekaterinburgian chic.

We love these for small gifts, party favors, or place cards with a surprise inside. Like very small Chinese takeout food boxes with wire handles, but in black chalkboard cardboard, ready to write on with standard chalk. Measure just 2-1/2" x 2-3/8" x 1-3/4". Our each is a 5-pack.

These waxed cardboard Catwoman™ ice-cream cups from Unique Ind, Inc. are from 1992, but they come in their original plastic bag of (8), and are as well-preserved as Catwoman is today. They measure 3-3/4" dia x 2-1/2" deep and hold about 7 oz, but we know you're not going to defile these valuable collectibles with scoops of raspberry ripple.

Essential if your peacock is molting, but made to be fashion statements like hair extensions, except made from a genuine 4” long peacock feather, augmented by a dyed mystery feather or two, all attached to a 1” hair-clip on a 4” string. The package assures us these are “Meticulously Hand-Crafted by Trained Artisans.”
