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.”

Try slipping into this full-head,15” latex banana slug mask. The top two eye-stalks are poseable, which means you can look like an angry or even depressed banana slug. In yellow and brown and for ages 14+. Sorry, no discounts for graduates of UC Santa Cruz, home of the Banana Slugs, but do send us pix. Go Slugs!

Our favorite rubber horse's head mask might unsettle the other folks on the bus, but don't let that stop you. Measures 17" long from genuine fake horse-hair mane to wide open nostrils and mouth, which are open so you can see through them. (You really have to see this on someone to appreciate it!) This colt's a sorrel/bay - OK, brown - with a white blaze and great big eyes. Looks a little like he's not real happy about going into the gate. Wear it with, yes, jockey shorts.

Unfortunately this grand assortment of flags from America's past came without explanatory text - or maybe that's fortunate. Might make a challenging research project for a young historian. Cloth flags, about 4" x 6" (sizes vary slightly), on 10-1/2" gold plastic staffs. They even come from a U.S. manufacturer! Not all are U.S. national flags, but as near as we can tell all are part of American history. You'll get a shipment of (5) different flags. Wave on!

Remember the Yard of Beer? Still big in Munich, it’s a three-foot tall hourglass-shaped schooner for big drinkers. This is a four-inch version of the same thing, a standard 1 oz shot glass that’s 4” tall x 1-3/16” at its widest. Cute, but we like it better as a tiny bud vase that’ll take approx 3/4 oz of water. You’ll surely find other uses for it, too, because you’re clever that way.

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.

6-1/2" x 40" plastic banners with Mother Goose design and "Happy Birthday" message. Perfect for parties, if a tad obvious. They could be dust covers for control panels, because every day at work is a celebration.

Raise your glasses to casual-wear! Our each is a set of (6) clear glass shot glasses shaped like shorts. Marked 1.5 oz, they actually hold 1.25 oz, although if you’re drinking from pants we can’t imagine that anyone would care. Perfect for the hiking club annual banquet or guys who are tired of drinking champagne from women’s slippers.

Faux full-sleeve tattoos at a tiny fraction of the cost of the real thing, not to mention the easy, two-second removal. Our temp tats are a stretchy 16” long and 3-1/4” wide in lightweight Lycra® and are very realistic at even close range. We’ll pick one (although we recommend getting two for obvious reasons) from a vast array of patterns and themes, all guaranteed to drop Mom onto the fainting couch at first sight. They end at the wrist, but feel free to ink LOVE and AS&S on your knuckles with one of our markers.

The problem with cocktail parties in the lab is that the test tubes full of cheer keep falling over. Yes, we can help. Try this set of (12) clear plastic test tubes with flat bottoms. Measure 4-1/8” tall x 15/16” ID and they hold about 1-1/3 oz, although a 1-oz pour is probably more sensible, spillage-wise.
