Clever Idea #763
This idea is for the birds. Literally. A green/black plastic perch, dish, and dispenser that you can screw onto an inverted plastic pop bottle to convert it into a bird feeder. Obviously, the bottle should have been emptied of pop and filled with seed. One of those "100 things to do with old coat hangers" ideas that really works!! Complete with instructions and bail to hang the completed feeder. Please note: this feeder will not attach properly to the new Coca-Cola low-profile bottles.

The American Handy Books
PC purists please move on to other items. These two books are exact reprints of 1882 and 1887 editions: “American Girls Handy Book”: How to amuse yourself and others, and “American Boys Handy Book”: What to do and how to do it. With 441 pp (Boys) and 474 pp (Girls) these books are absolutely crammed with ideas for activities, craft projects, information about nature and the world around us as well as charming Victoriana from the founders of boy and girl scouting. A real gift from Great Great Grandma’s attic. Both you and the kids will adore them and use them constantly, and we think members of both genders will enjoy both books in today’s world.

Prizm Glasses
Dull outlook? Dreary prospects? Put a little edge on things with this pair of cardboard (think movie 3-D) Prizm® glasses that have (1) clear frame and (1) with slight diffracting properties to give brightly colored pictures a pop and a semi-, sort-of, 3-D effect. Interesting for classroom demonstrations. They measure 5-3/4" across with approx 5" temples. And yes, we know how to spell prism; blame the manufacturer.

Decorating? Piece Of Cake.
Nothing to it with our Wilton® Cake-or-anything-else Stamps.

D-Day Crickets
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
KLEE-klik it says when you push the back of this little metal toy with the picture of a cricket on it. Sounds something like a real cricket, and just like the brass versions that U.S. paratroopers carried on D-Day for communicating in the hedgerows around Ste. Mare Eglise. Also just like the one Sister Mary Inviolata used to coordinate precision kneeling/standing exercises during our Confirmation practice, which was only slightly more organized than D-Day. You will get (6) cricket clickers for $2.95.

Scrunch A Buncha Cans
Reduce recycling space with this wall-mount steel can crusher. Very satisfying to use: pull the 12-1/4" long padded handle and it easily smooshes cans up to 5-3/8" tall (standard aluminum beverage size) into squat little accordion-pleated stumps. The black and gray steel unit mounts with the included screws and has a handy bottle opener under its the front lip, because you don't.

Reveal Disgusting Stains!
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Or find fluorescence in rocks. Light up your own disco. Play CSI, Your House. Make your teeth glow in the dark. All this and more is possible with the magic of black light. You pick: the short one is 6-3/8" long x 2" wide x 7/8" thick in a black-plastic housing with an incandescent flashlight at the top, a 6-1/2" wrist strap, and a handy 10pp stain-removal handbook. Takes (4) "AA"s, not included. The big guy is 12-1/2" long, with a plastic casing (our pick of colors) designed to be mounted with double-sided tape. Takes (8) "AA"s, not included.

Doodle In 3-D
Think of it as a shortcut to learning perspective. This clever 50-sheet pad of white, 7" x 4-1/2" paper has a fine red and blue grid pattern that shows your drawing and doodling in 3-D when you wear the included 3-D glasses. It's our candidate for the why-didn't-I-think-of-that award this year.

Light Up The Lock
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Put your key into this thin (1-3/8" x 1-1/8" x 1/2" thick) little key cap with a built-in white LED and never fumble around with the lock again. Runs on a replaceable button-cell battery (included) and has a momentary push-button switch. In black, red, blue, grey plastic, (our choice) it fits most all standard key blanks and it screws together over the top of your key so it's not going to fall off in your pocket.

Accountant In A Jar
Or in the lid, actually. Jobar's Money Machine is a clever little bank that counts your change as you put it through the slot on top, and keeps a running total up to $999.99. (That's more than the jar will hold, of course, but you could always attach the lid to a 55-gallon drum.) Measures 6-3/4" tall x 3-1/2" dia in clear plastic, and you add a pair of "AA" batteries. Counts quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies only.

Desk Viper
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Our most seductive tabletop walker...er, make that slitherer. The Sidewinder is a 5-1/4" long, plastic, triple-hinged wind-up snake that does indeed sidewind along surfaces. The fascinating darting (and forked) tongue action is just a bonus. We'll pick one of (6) assorted models and send it along, but we strongly recommend ordering several for lunch-hour snake races. Also recommended for driving cats bananas.
