90291 POTATO GUN |
In a past life, this hollow white ceramic heart was a mold for air fresheners. Give it a new life, won't you? Make hearts with just about any material-it's cheap enough to literally break the mold when you're done. Or paint it and make necklaces, pendants, Valentine's Day tree decorations, and much more. Nice loose heart shape, with a 1/4" x 3/4" oval opening at the top and solid thin extrusions (fins?) along the sides. 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" x 1/2" thick.

88884 RAINBOW BOUNCER |
Clear acrylic sealed tube, 3-1/8" dia x 8" tall, divided into two equal chambers. The dividing wall has a hole in the center, and the tube has a quantity of viscous violet goo (glycerin?) in it that fills one chamber about 3/4 full. Stand the tube on end with the full chamber up, and over a 10 minute period the goo will ooze from the upper to the lower chamber, blowing bubbles and dribbling droplets in the process, all in slow motion. The action is somewhat reminiscent of a lava lamp, without the heat and light, and with a mixed air and goo chamber that yields much more interesting patterns. Mesmerizing, disgusting, fascinating, soothing. If you only need a little soothing you may want to try the same thing in a smaller size: 2-1/8" diameter x 4-7/8" tall. It comes in a variety of colors from which we will choose yours.

The classic swinging balls, to amuse you on slow days in the office or physics lab, and to demonstrate Newton's Third Law. Drop one of the five hanging balls, one flies out from the other end; drop two and two fly out; drop three and it's amazing. The balls are set in a 7" x 9" x 9" high wooden frame. Isaac didn't invent these mesmerizing toys, by the way. That took Simon Prebble (whom some of you may remember as the evil Martin Chedwyn on "As the World Turns") who had an energy transference inspiration in 1967. (Where else can one learn these things?)

Flat plastic Fresnel lens. This flexible magnifier is 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and only about a millimeter thick. It is great when you need to scan a list or to look for something in a directory. You can see most of the page without moving the magnifier. Only about 1.5 power, but that can make a huge visual difference. The quality is not high, but neither is the price.

Hare's a cute pack of (10) assorted notepads to share with your friends -- then you can all send strangely shaped notes to each other. Each pad has about (30) sheets of onionskin paper, polished on one side. They're strangely shaped because they're die cut around the flowers and cute bunnies on the covers, and they're assorted because there are white bunnies and black bunnies and brown-spotted bunnies....
