PARTY SUPPLIES & COSTUMES

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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).

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.

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. You pick: the blue, yellow, green and aqua one; the other one in green, aqua, magenta and purple; or the black, green and orange one. In kid sizes, but feel free to get one for yourself if you think you can squeeze into it. Ages 3+.

Or faux chemistry, and more fun, anyway. These (6) 4-3/4” tall all-purpose plastic test tubes in a 9” long rack are made to hold whatever you can fit into them to help you remember, or forget, high school chem lab. Each holds approx 1.5 oz of liquid (perfect for chemistry major graduation parties), but like your teachers used to say, don’t limit yourself. Get creative with your party decor and use ’em to hold floral arrays for graduating botany majors. In assorted colors that don’t appear in real labs, which also makes them perfect for holding glitter, sand and other crafty supplies in your hobby room.

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.

It's our first eleven-fer, and an actual fashion item, which we usually only see with Bulgarian military surplus. But this is brand new, called the Mad Dana Polar Fleece Bandana, and it can be worn (11) different ways. A couple of the ways are a touch dopey (it's a wrist-bandana!), but most are ultra-snazzy, especially the face mask style—because you shouldn't have to look frumpy to be safe. The top half is fleece and the bottom half is a lighter, silky material. Also works vice-versa, so feel free to flip it at will. In assorted colors. 

Need, want, whatever. We think you'll certainly want one of these art-glass necklaces. On 22" chains, 18" of which are strung with random-shaped polished stones. Pendants themselves are 1-1/2" dia x approx 3/16" thick art glass discs with assorted designs inside. In assorted colors, and we haven't seen any ugly ones, so we'll just pick (1) that's sure to match something in your closet and send it to you. It’ll give you something to look forward to.
