Ouch!
Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed; hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

ShamGolly!
You'll say golly! every time you use this 28" x 20" x 1/16" cloth that's like a chamois, like a towel, like a sponge. Non-abrasive, holds many, many times its weight in liquid, and this one's not available on TV. Made in Germany, just like the mega-popular ShamGosh!

Tough Paper Trays
And lots of ‘em. These coated paper trays are microwave-safe. In fact, they’re very much like the ones used for some commercial frozen entrees, but we draw the line at claiming they’re food-ready or food-safe. At these prices, though, they’d make great lab trays, paint palettes or craft containers for schools—or any place else you need a lot of tough little disposable trays. They measure 8” x 6-3/8” x 1-3/16” deep and are off-white inside, bright orange/red on the outside.

Accent Light Strip
These 1/2” x 1/2” brass-finish channels with clear 1-1/8” x 3/4" mounts on the ends, 4-1/2-foot black power cords with two-prong plugs, and “crimp-on” in-line rotary power switches that you position, have tiny (grain-of-barley?) incandescent bulbs inside and one clear side. They’re designed as accent lighting for bookshelves and under counters to highlight collectibles and art. You pick from the small, 10” long version with (5) bulbs, or the large, 20” long with (10) bulbs. Mount in a horizontal position only. 120 volts. UL.

Endless Time
More fun for the easily amused! A very stylish 3-1/2" x 5-1/4" clear acrylic panel, less that 1/2" thick has two flattened hourglass chambers within it. Both have non-toxic fluids and suspended in one are black grains that are heavier than the liquid. In the other are colored grains that are lighter. Flip the works from one black plastic end to the other and the grains slowly do their things, black down, colored up, over maybe a five minute period. Very soothing. We'll pick your color from neon red, orange, chartreuse and magenta.

The Ultimate Weather Station
Digital, wireless and absolutely full-service. This P3 Professional Weather Station lets you read the indoor/outdoor temp, humidity, rainfall amounts, wind speed (including a 24-hour history for wind and temps) barometric pressure, moon phase, sunrise and sunset times, time and date without getting dressed and leaving the house. Then you can just look at the little icon on the display to see what he's wearing and dress the same way. The outdoor sensor has a 6" dia anemometer, a 6" x 5-1/2" rain vessel, and is on a 6-1/2-foot pole. The cool-looking indoor display module is 8-5/8" x 6-3/8" with a 5" x 3" LCD. Some calibration required. Takes a total of (7) "AA" batteries, not included. A fully-functioning weather station at an affordable price, which you don't find everywhere or, in fact, almost anywhere.

Talk To The Lamp
Call it the sound-sensitive pentaneck oscillight. The black 3-1/16" dia base holds (5) slim, steel goosenecks that terminate in translucent white ping-pong-ball-like globes. Inside, multicolored LEDs blink on and off in a random color pattern or to match the beat of the music, or your tone of voice. Has sound-sensitivity settings in case it's not as sensitive as you like. Awfully nice on a table or sound system, but could also be adapted as part of a very special hat. You bring (3) "AAA" batteries to the party.

Perpetual Motion
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
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. It also has red lights to light up its way as it spins, giving it almost a strobing effect. Nifty desk toy named "Revolution".

Soft Touch
And easy to store. One of the better pick-up tools we've seen. Folds to just over 16" to store, but locks open at 30" with spring steel arms on an aluminum frame. It has soft, suction-cup-shaped grabbers and big, locking pistol grip. Pretty good gripping capacity too-maybe to 10 lbs or so. Get one for Mom, because at her age she can't reach the things she used to. And then get another one for yourself, because you'll be Mom's age before you know it.
