Avocado Bagmaker

No, no, no, no-not bags for avocados. We're not in California. This is the Bagmaker" Sealer, a blast from the avocado kitchens of the past and a perfect collectible for your retro kitchen. A competitor of those Seal-a-Snack-like, hot-wire plastic-bag-sealing devices that no 1970 kitchen could be without. Still handy, however, in kitchen, lab, craft-room or shop. Comes with a 50-foot roll of 12"-wide, 1.5 mil bag material, but we think the refills for similar products still on the market would fit in the reservoir. Probably. And if not, this will still seal up regular plastic bags. The unit measures 13-5/8" long x 4-1/2" deep x 2-3/4" high, sits on a counter or mounts on a wall, draws 35W at 120VAC and is UL listed. You know you've always regretted selling yours in that garage sale. Go for it.

Gabby Thermometer

You'll have to find a twelve-year old to program it for you, but when the kid's done, it'll be really cool (pun intended). The indoor part of our talking indoor/outdoor thermometer is a 6" x 3-1/2" x 1" white plastic case with (2) LCDs displaying your choice of (4) modes of times and temperatures. And does it talk! In/out temperatures at alarm time or hourly, daily highs and lows, freezing and high-temperature alerts, and more. A sliding cover conceals the control panel for volume, clock, mode settings, etc. The unit hangs on the wall or stands. A probe on a 10-ft cord reads the outside temperature. The package says it requires (2) "AA" batteries, but it should say (2) "AAA" (not included).

From Imelda Marcos

Sorry. I know it's way passe to mention Mrs. Marcos in any podiatric context, but we specialize in the passe. And the reference is too obvious to pass up. Regardless, we have a lot of hard plastic shoe lasts, used and a bit scuffed in places but very functional, perfect to keep your penny loafers or Chuck Taylors in shape while you reheel them or while they sit in the closet. The lasts come in blue, yellow, and a creamy white, and are hinged just before the heel. Sizes (which are marked on the last, in men's sizes) range from very small to very large; most seem to be in the 6 to 9 range. We'll surprise you with the color and the size. Call for bulk prices.

Air Ottoman

The above could be 757 jet service to the land of Selim the Sot, we suppose, but in this case it's a handy inflatable footstool for the road, campsites, dorm rooms, poolside or anyplace else where you need to put up your feet without lugging actual furniture or worrying about water damage. You pick black or an ivory/putty color vinyl and inflate the internal bladder to approx 14" tall x 16". The inflated result has an elasticized waist, making it something of a two-pouf stool.

Mini-Full-Length Mirror

Work with us here to picture this: it's 4" x 2-3/8" ovoid, a slightly convex mirror with a fold-out stand and a keyhole hanger on the back. You put it on the floor and look down, and it functions as an emergency full-length mirror. Really. OK, so maybe it's got a touch of fun-house mirror effect, but it works. Alternately, hook it over the corner of your monitor or hang it on the wall in the stairwell and watch for people sneaking up behind you.
