It’s a little jewelers loupe. The loupe is little, not the jewelers, although they could be short, but we’ve never actually seen the jewelers who use these, so…oh, never mind--it’s shiny brass and would look jewel-like hung on a chain. Measures a teardroppy 1-1/8" x 7/8" x 3/4" shape, and folds out to reveal an 18mm dia glass lens with approx 10X magnification.

Our each is (84) inches of stretchy, 6” wide cotton (we think) white gauze. How stretchy is it? Ours pulled out to about (11) feet, which covers a lot of owies.

Imagine a not-unteletubbyish space guy, but with a couple sets of rotors in his head, and the ability to hover. Has sensors on his feet so he knows where the ground (our your hand) is, and he’ll keep hovering. Plus his blue eyes flash on and off, like a short, intergalactic Frank Sinatra. Measures 5” tall with a 5-1/2” rotor-span. Powered by an internal battery, rechargeable via a USB port with the included 10” cord. Run time is 4-5 mins.

If you remember that poster, you’re really old. Today’s generation just grabs the Decide-O-Matic, which lets it decide for them. Like the Magic 8-Ball, but with more options and more fun via a pendulum and magnet. Select a Decision Disc--fortune teller, truth or dare, movie “flix mix,” pizza picker or playlist shuffle--then set the pendulum swinging and watch it lurch from choice to choice before settling on the one that relieves you of the burden of decision-making. Includes a blank disc to add your own custom quandaries.

This 2” dia x approx 3/4” thick disc holds a retractable 1/4" wide, 60” long vinyl tape measure inside. Marked in 1/16” increments, it has 150mm, in 1mm increments, on the other. Has stop clicks and push-button rewind, and is on a 1” chain with a very cute 1-1/2” carabiner for attaching it to a key chain. In white and translucent neon colors, which we’ll select for you because in your busy life who has the time?

These mysteriously appealing ball-point pens have black ink and a rubber grip at the business end, and a 5/8” dia rare earth magnet embedded in the end of a 1-3/4” long flexible rubber tail at the other end. Yep, you read that right--a magnet. So when they’re not in use they’ll just dangle from any steel surface--like fridges, file cabinets and belt buckles. We’ll pick a pair in red, aqua or black, because they’re all cute as the dickens.

From our Unlikely Combination Division comes our first-ever wind-up vehicle capable of climbing any vertical ferrous-metal surface, like your filing cabinet or (non-stainless) fridge, thanks to tiny embedded magnets. Also chugs along on the horizontal. Measures 1-7/8" x 1-1/2" x 1-3/4" tall with the winder. In assorted colors that we'll decide on, thank you very much.

Just like all the fashionable coroners wear, this clear plastic face shield is approx 10-3/4” tall x 6” deep, and wraps around your face and the front half of your head. Has thumbscrews to adjust the forehead strap and angle of the face guard. Not impact or heat resistant, so pay heed to the “antispray mask” on the tape at the top, and don’t use it like safety glasses or a bump cap.

Great balls of air! The mighty AIRZOOKA is back--and as cool as ever! Looking like a plastic bucket with a handle and a flip-up gun sight, it blasts a puff of air up to 50 feet. Blow out candles from across the room (and avoid spitting on birthday cakes), spook the cat, disperse bugs, take target practice at styrofoam cups or buy a pair and play air-tag. Measures roughly 11” tall x 11” dia in bright blue plastic and is, frankly, much more fun than you would imagine.

All the really cool faces do. If yours doesn’t, you’d best get this white plastic face mask, complete with red, yellow, blue, green and two glow-in-the-dark pots of paint. Good, clean, crafty fun (and no actual human face to clean up afterwards), popular at parties and pretty much guaranteed to get you a seat on the bus.

Imagine a game app, but in wood. Measures 6” x 3-1/4” x 3/8”, like an iPhone 6-Plus, but you never have to charge it and there’s no glass to break. Has (42) colorful geometric shapes in a wooden frame, and all you have to do is take the shapes out and try to fit them back in again, which is harder than it sounds, but that’s what puzzles are for.

Yes, campers, you can now tote a teapot to the woods. This devilishly clever, collapsible silicone tea kettle measures 5-1/2" dia x just 1-3/8" when folded down to its stainless steel base, but pulls itself up (actually, you do the pulling) to stand 6-1/4” tall and hold more than 40 oz of water. Even has a locking spout, and a fold-away handle. Food-grade and dishwasher-safe, it’s good over any low flame as well as on electric stoves.

This pair of 3” pliers-style alligator clips for quick wire connections have red and black insulator boots, and are good for up to a whopping 30A. Crimp connections are under the rubber insulators. We'll send you (2) pairs because you can't charge a battery without (4) clips. 

You pick the cord to cut: the microcord dispenser has (125) feet of 3/64" cord rated for 100-lb tensile strength, spooled on a handy belt holder with a recessed cutting blade. Measures 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 1-5/8". The paracord dispenser has (50) feet of 5/32” dia, 7-strand 550 cord in a plastic case with a belt clip and recessed cutting blade. Measures 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" x 2-1/2". Both are made in the USA by Atwood Rope. Sorry folks there was a typo on our latest email. Pricing on the 50-Foot dispenser with cord should have been $17.50 and not $7.50. Sorry for the confusion.

If Louisa May Alcott had moved on from Little Women and Little Men to little critters, she’d have been all over this collection of beasts. All approx 3” to 3-1/2” in hard rubber with articulated jaws, so they can look vicious or contemplative. We’ll send you a pack of (3) different ones, possibly including a lion, tiger, white tiger, hippopotamus, crocodile or cheetah.

Top is a 7” dia red plastic funnel, with a removable 40” long x 3/4” ID acrylic tube attached, with an equally removable red plastic stopcock at the other end. Handy for a staggeringly wide array of uses with an even wider array of liquids. Originally marketed as a “Party Bong” for college beer bashes, we’re looking at it as a really inexpensive funnel with a valve--you know, for more sciencey applicatons.

Got boring throw pillows? We feel your boredom. Try these 18” square (a common throw-pillow size) nylon pillow covers to bring a touch of whimsy to your couch. You pick: the pug dressed as Henry VIII, as they will if left to their own devices; the cat dressed as Henry's daughter, Elizabeth I; or the corgi with top hat, bow-tie and monocle, which they wear when the queen’s not around.

It’s an actual air pistol, on account of it shoots a puff of air. Not unlike those giant air cannons, but in a manageable size, and better for office situations. Imagine the cubicle wars you could have with a few of these--and no one would get hurt! Range is approx 8 feet. Like the larger cannons do, this pistol will blow out birthday candles, but you’ll need much better aim. Measures a mere 3-1/2" x 2" with a rubber membrane, a 2-1/2” handle, and a folding sight.
