Hunting Pokémon® makes you thirsty, and now you can pair your favorite beverage with your favorite Pokémon®. This officially licensed Evolution Set of (4) 16-oz glasses features the three first-generation starters and their evolutions, plus the iconic mascot Pikachu®. A certain 11-year old in Pat's house is giddy for them, as are a couple of 30-somethings in the office. This highly collectible set is difficult to find, period, let alone at our price. Target® sells the beginner series for $29.95, and we’ve seen individual glasses go for $10 each. Our rare set is top-rack dishwasher safe, but we’d hand-wash them, just because we care. Limited quantity--catch them if you can!

Surpies rejoice! This might be our deal of the year. We recently acquired a bonanza of high-quality reading glasses (not cheapie five & dime store readers) in soooo many styles and colors, with magnification ranges of 1.00-1.75 and 2.00-3.00. Some are sunglasses, some have spring hinges, some have a case, and all originally sold for $10 to $30 each. So get this: we’ll send you (5) of them for less than $15. We promise you’ll get (5) different frame styles and at least (2) different magnifications. But remember: the styles vary wildly, from classic to eye-catching. With that in mind, remember: you get what you get, without throwing a fit. Isn’t surplus wonderful!

From 3M comes this extra-festive packing tape because we heard you’re bored stupid with that brown stuff. You’ll get a (6)-pack of tape, 1-7/8" wide x 40 feet, in pink, aqua, red, lime-green and other colors, in stripes, zig-zags, polka dots and other festive patterns. Even the folks at the Post Office will appreciate the change.

Next time you hang an air freshener from your rear-view mirror, make it something your passengers will remember. These are all approx 4” to 5” long and bring a little something to the party that a paper pine tree can only dream of. You pick the creepy hairless cat in a Buddha pose, smelling of sandalwood; the bubblegum-scented rubber chicken; or the largest tardigrade (aka moss bear or water piglet) in the universe, redolent of green apples.

In case you forgot to make one for your mother at camp, we’ll be happy to send you some of ours. Very slightly elastic and 17” long, with snap clips, a sliding keeper, and 1-3/4” loops at the whistle end. We’ll pick (4) from our assortment of black, blue, orange, yellow, aqua, red, purple and lavender. Your mom’s bound to have something to match all of them.

And pop-nose, and pop-ears. Everything pops when you squeeze this guy’s head. It’s true of most of us, actually. This one, however, is a classic, sometimes seen as the Martian Popper but in this incarnation he’s Panic Pete. Don’t let your children grow up without having one to take their frustrations out on.

Charge, Charge. Or Sync, Sync. Direct from the Valley of Superchargers, these 3-foot USB-A 3.1 to USB-C cords are flat to prevent tangles and will charge or sync your data at 10Gbps, which will leave your standard charging cable standing at the gate. We’ll pick one in black, blue, white or hot pink, which are the hardest to lose.

It’s always hot somewhere. Stay cool with a hyper-evaporative towel. In a sports-jersey-ish fabric, you wet it and wear it--around your neck or head--and the evaporative quality keeps you cool. Measures 40” x 12” in a flattering blue, and comes in a plastic bottle with a carabiner-like clip on top so you can wet it and hang it on your belt until you heat up.

These 14” long socks are a cotton blend, and one-size-fits-all-except-if-you’ve-got-feet-like-Shaq. We’ll pick a pair for you that look like spotted Dalmatian puppies, kittens in a gray tabby pattern, or lovely dopey-looking penguins. You’ll get (2) different sets o’ socks, we promise. Shy persons will appreciate that only the body patterns will appear until you pull up your pants to reveal the critters’ little faces. Exhibitionists can just wear shorts.

Couldn't tell it from the glass variety by just looking. This plastic mirror with squared off corners measures 3-15/16" x 5-15/16". Comes with protective film on both sides. We're thinking camping, lockers, deserted island or just a nearly-unbreakable travel item. Pretty flexible, too, if you like fun-house mirror effects.

The “Magic UFO” is a magnetic levitation demo kit that has a magnet embedded in a 4-3/4" square x 5/8" base, a clear plastic plate, plus copper and plastic washers with grommets and shims to add weight to a spinning top “UFO”. A little practice and the manufacturer assures that it “makes you happy and induces your reveries,” and where else can you get that for less than 20 bucks?

The Woodworker’s Shop Journal is a hardcover book with (100+) pages of 1/4" grids for project planning and sketches, plus (20+) pages of quick references, charts, lumber specs, tool guides, checklists and tips. Also a good place to keep passwords and other personal information because burglars are famous for not caring about carpentry skills.

Keep your magnetic hematite. Keep it tight! And keep it close because word on the street is, it has potential healing powers, or at least the ability to possibly-maybe boost your mood. At the very least, the specimens we have are great for the fridge or the side of a file cabinet. They have a super-stylish and refined shiny-pewter look, and they’re each about 3/4" to 7/8" x 1/2" thick. Plus, they look super-cool in bunches. Takes about (25) of them to weigh 1 lb, and you’ll get a dozen per order. Never hurts to have some nice, small reliable magnets hanging around--especially these, which won’t lose their pull in your lifetime.

Wherefrom unknown, but this triangular clear glass bottle has a glass dropper, with a safety cap, hiding under the big blue triangular cap. Holds 1-1/2 oz (50ml) and measures just shy of 3” tall x 2” long on the sides. You could decant cheap perfume from an ugly bottle into it, or fill it with your own mixture.

Tiny tools for toddlers. Kall it a Kiddy Karpenter Kollection. (Sorry.) This 6-piece play-tool set has a wooden and plastic saw, pliers, screwdriver, hammer, box wrench and hatchet, all from 4” to 6-3/4” long, inside a nice, delightfully colorful 8” x 4” x 1-1/2” tin “Little Helper Tool Box” with a pair of snap closures and a handle on top.

Extra-nifty, this 3-D sci-fi cartoon coloring set includes a 36-page pad of cartoons with (3) sets of (12) 7” x 5” sheets. Also comes with a pair of diffraction glasses, so you can see what you’re coloring, and (10) assorted markers, all in a compact book-like carrying case.

You never know you need a really sturdy, clear compact glass bottle until you actually need one. A lot of things are like that, but this bottle, which holds a little more than 4 oz, is one you might keep forever. And you’ll get (6) of them. Each measures 4-1/2" tall x just about 2”, and comes with a non-gasketed plastic screwcap. You might order a second set after you see how useful they are for art, craft, hobby, workshop and general storage purposes. Made in the USA.

We love NASA and so do you, or someone you love does. And with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this year (July 20), why not show your support by sticking a bunch of classic NASA “meatball” logos on your stuff? You know the one--the blue sphere and white stars with the NASA name in white, a red chevron slashing through it and a white orbiting swirl wrapping it all together. You’ll get (15) logo stickers in 1” dia ; a 3-1/2” logo sticker; a 3-1/2” window cling logo; and a good, old-fashioned 10" x 2-3/4" white bumper sticker with the logo and the following phrase: “IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! (OH, WAIT, YES IT IS!)”. Hard not to love that aerospace-engineer humor.
