Puns-R-Us. This white coffee mug has pi-Lingual printed on it, along with a bevy of geometric diagrams and equations, plus pi carried to 50 decimal places. Try not to use while eating a piece of pie, because there are some limits to what people will tolerate.

The secret is ceramics. This 5-1/2" long precision cutter has a ceramic point that's as sharp as an X-actly knife, stays sharp longer, is easier to maneuver in intricate cutting patterns, and is nearly impossible to cut yourself with. Cuts paper and card stock easily. Pencil-style, with a cap. A boon for crafters, and a blessing for junior crafters.

This plasma ball from TEDCO Toys® has a 6" dia glass globe atop a 4-7/8" square x 3-1/2" tall base and throws swirling arcs and dots at the inside of the globe, just waiting for the electricity in your hands to make them go bizzare-o. It might even make you scream, "It's alive!" Mesmerizing, to say the least. Steady-on and sound-sensitive modes. Comes with an adapter and 6-foot cord.

Turn the knob on this battery-powered lantern and watch the trio of 12-element COB LEDs go from nothing to 600 lumens. Measures 8-7/8" tall x 4-1/2" dia with a clear 4-1/8” tall window around the light, which has a folding handle and a bonus compass on top. You add (3) “D” cell batteries and you’re good for approx (6) hours, or more if you dim the light. We’ll pick one in red, blue or green because it doesn’t matter.

How about three extra hands? This multi-purpose workstation tool has a large 3X, 3-1/2" dia LED-lighted magnifier on a 10" gooseneck (you add 4 "AA" batteries), a soldering-iron stand, cleaning sponge plus steel wool, a canister of flux paste, a pair of  alligator clips with ball-socket mounts on the ends of a 4" rod  plus an extra hand with a third alligator clip on a 10" gooseneck. It all weighs in at a stable 3+ lbs and has a 7-1/4" x 6-3/4" base so you won't need fourth hand to hold it upright.

Get one before the flood-a 10" tall clear plastic rain gauge to hang on a wall (with 1/4" mounting holes, you supply the screws) or stick in the lawn on its stake-like bottom. Graduated up to 5" of rain in 0.1" increments, or 123mm in 2mm increments.

Small enough to slip into a toolbox or pocket, this little oval work light hangs on its 1" ID folding hook or sticks up via a strong 3/4" dia magnet on the back. Measures 3-3/4" x 2-1/2" oval x 1-3/8" thick, and lights with (24) white LEDs on the face or (3) more on the bottom. Runs on (3) "AAA" batteries, included. Nice as a traveling closet/night/flashlight, too.

Only your trustees get mugs this nice to rattle against  the bars. Our best-ever stainless steel mug has a big handle and a series of burnished wide and narrow stripes around it, adding a particularly snazzy touch. Holds up to 14 oz, and measures 3-5/8" tall x 3-1/4" dia, with a little lip. Perfect camping, hiking or back-yarding.

Yes, your desktop is made of atoms (you, too) but this is a 7" dia chrome and black model of an atomic structure (Boronish, Paul says) that keeps on turning via the magic of electromagnetics, at least until the 9V battery you put in it wears out. Stands approx 9" tall on its base.  Ignore that "perpetual motion" on the box, unless you have a perpetual battery. Minimal assembly required, but a maximum person like you won't have a problem with it.

The last set of hole saws you'll ever need. This 10-piece set of diamond-encrusted core drill bits comes in a wooden presentation case (Hey, they've got diamonds on them!) and includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 2", and 2-3/8" dia. Shanks are 1/4" except the (2) largest, which are 3/8", and all the bits are slotted to blow out dust. Each bit is 1-1/4" deep. Designed for cutting glass, ceramics, porcelain, ceramic and porcelain tile, limestone, slate, marble, granite, stone, fiberglass and other tough stuff. Don't forget to add water (not included) for lubrication.

In case you get thirsty while you’re cutting things up, these Titanium coated Westcott scissors have a bottle-opener on the bottom of one blade. They also have a retractable ceramic cutter on one handle. With a safety lock. And a plastic blade guard. Plus, the serrated blades are detachable. Makes other scissors feel bad just looking at them. But wait there's more...

Time used to fly, but with global warming what it is, it now drips…off your mantel, desk, bookcase or the top of your cubicle. The melting clock is inspired by Dali's painting The Persistence of Memory and is surreal enough for anyone, even you. Measures 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" x 5-1/4" and requires a single "AA" battery which you have to supply, but can get at our affordable prices.

We feel sorry for those flesh-colored bandages that are just trying to hide. Stand up and be healed with bandages that make a statement! Say Oink with this box of (15) sterile photo reproductions of a raw bacon slice, plus a bonus plastic pig in every box. Mustache bandages work even if you cut something other than your lip; just tell people it's a mustache transplant. You get (15) in (4) hairy styles, plus a secret gift.

You get a pair of these dishwasher-safe canning funnels (so you can can-can!) for putting preserves with big lumps into jars. Measure 4-3/4" dia at the top with a 2" ID bottom.

So why can't you ever find one? Put a stop to that with this clear plastic storage box with (100) steel safety pins: (50) at 1-1/8"; (25) at 1-1/4"; and (25) at 1-1/2". Your grandmother would be proud of you.

We’re in love with these 22” long dusters covered with 1” long microfiber fingers, the better to snarf up the dust. Measure 2-1/2” wide x 1/2”, and have a very pleasing flex, and can be bent to reach otherwise inaccessible places. They’d also make dandy sabers for fencing practice. We’ll pick one in purple, neon green, orange, red or peacock blue. (Speaking of which, if you’d like a set in every color to make your own peacock, give us a call.)

Hang this holographic prism in the window for delicate, changing color effects. As the sun shines through, it throws splashes of red, yellow, green, blue, violet and more around the room. The glass disc is 4-1/8" dia x 1/4" thick with a chrome-look frame. Comes with a suction cup hanger to mount it on a window. (Find a way to make it rotate for an especially cool effect!)
