Bring back the '70s for nine bucks. Screw this red-green-blue LED prismatic, rotating bulb into any standard medium-base light socket and your room turns into disco heaven.

Pistol-grip style with a guard, in black plastic. Measures 6" x 5/8" wide, with reversible and replaceable carbide cutting heads.

The base of this micro-fiber-optic light is a 1-5/8" high plastic cone in red, green or blue. The tips of the super-thin, 7-1/2" long fiber optics are the color in the cone and flare out in a bouncy spray approx 8" across at the top. We'll pick a color just for you. The Hint-o-Matic says: "Nice on any surface, but worthy of a royal wedding when glued on top of a hat. Just cut a hole in the hat to get to the switch." The (3) button-cell batteries are included and replaceable.

Our wireless motion-sensing light has (7) bright white LEDs in a 3-1/8" dia mirrored face that throws light approx 15 feet. This makes it great for small rooms, large closets or gigantic doll houses.

This rotating LED pedestal puts a little extra pizzazz in awards, displays, tchotchkes or cocktails. The package calls it the "ISO9001 Multifunctional Adjustable," and a "Crystal Rotary Slide Show"  which we call a language problem, but it's still pretty slick. This black 4-1/2" dia x 1-3/4" tall display pedestal with a mirrored top has oscillating green, red, yellow and blue LEDs at the center. The whole shebang will turn at 1 rpm or sit still if you can't stand the excitement. Both the lights and rotation can be powered by the included wall adapter or the just the LED lights can be powered by (3) "AA" batteries you supply. 

This 4" wide plastic bulldog clip has serrated jaws to hang on tight, and a light fridge-strength magnet on the back. We’ll pick five (5) from our selection of gray, light blue or bluish-greenish-blue clips adorned with assorted misprints. You can ignore the words. You can also ignore the magnet and just use them to reseal your nacho chips, which makes them chip clips.

You’re not paranoid if people are actually trying to steal your stuff from right off your desk when you go to the bathroom, and we both know they are. Best to get this pistol-style mini-Dymo® label maker. Has a 3-3/8” rotary alphanumeric and punctuation wheel, and comes with approx 10 feet of 3/8” wide white-on-black tape.

This idea is for the birds. Literally. A green/black plastic perch, dish, and dispenser that you can screw onto an inverted plastic pop bottle to convert it into a bird feeder. Obviously, the bottle should have been emptied of pop and filled with seed. One of those "100 things to do with old coat hangers" ideas that really works!! Complete with instructions and bail to hang the completed feeder. Please note: this feeder will not attach properly to the new Coca-Cola low-profile bottles.

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 love this swan-neck light from iZoom, and it’s rated for a max 200 lumens. Has high/med/low modes on a flexible 8-1/4” neck with a very War of the Worlds-ish head.

Includes a 3-ft USB to 3.5mm female plug for charging.

Grip is padded with a 3/16" dia shank. From Stahl Tools" for hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers and students.

Spin this spindle and watch it turn in perpetuity!!  Well, for a long time anyway.  Inside the 5-1/2" long colored plastic spindle are magnets which are repelled by magnets in the 5" x 3" black plastic base.  The variously colored spindle floats in the air above the base thus virtually free of normal friction. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

Please note #91664 with flashing red lights was incorrectly advertised, that item is not available.

These comfortable and excellent-sounding headphones are marked "Professional DJ Series" so it must be true. They fit over your ears and are, according to our office DJ, "darn fine phones" with an in-line Hi-Z microphone, and a flat 5-foot cord with a standard 1/8" plug. Good bottom end, just not as hyped up as some that bear celeb rappers' monikers.

That would be it’s name in German, but we’re just calling it the handiest thing since we were knee-high to a retail store. It’s a sturdy plastic (think milk-crate or industrial bin) storage box that doubles as a stool and step-stool, and folds for storage. Measures 14-3/4" x 12" x just 2-1/4" thick when folded, but snaps open to 10” x 12” across the top x 14” tall. Includes a fold-down cover and will support up to 250 lbs. We’ll pick one in orange or green-ish, both with a gray top.

Makes your standard plungers hang their suction cups in shame. If this 15" Drain Buster can't clear your problem, you don't need a plunger--you need a plumber with a wrench or a saw. With a compression cylinder and a large handle to generate extra power, the Drain Buster scoffs at nasty clogs. If plungers could roll their eyes and say "puh-lease," this one would do it every time you lifted it from your toilet bowl.  Comes with a standard-size toilet-plunger head and a smaller one for sink and tub drains.

They're back! Those of a certain age will remember being taught to crouch under their school desks in case of nuclear attack. Shortly thereafter, the gov't, in its infinite wisdom zoomed about the cityscape plastering black and yellow signs on buildings with basements to designate them as fallout shelters wherein it stored cans of water and radiation meters which were so insensitive that any reading could only mean the past tense of crispiness. We have a quantity of these signs, brand new in the sense that they have never been plastered, but antique in the sense that they are Cold War originals and may show slight wear from being stored. 10" x 14" , 25 ga. galvanized steel. They have a black base coat on the front over sprayed with orange/yellow reflective paint in the familiar design rendered nearby by our faithful artist. This is a true collector's item fetching $50 and up in antique stores! A tasteful addition to even the dullest basement hangout.
