Plainsers
Here on the prairie we resent the calling of those things one puts under a glass "coasters". Why should the ocean fronts always get the credit?? So we are offering these roughly 3-1/2" sq. plastic devices under the inland name of "plainsers" You will get (8) all the same color of our choice, be it orange, brown, gold, black, silver or clear. We say square, but the sides are slightly convex out. Kind of like our midriff. An excellent value under any name.

Sheets Of Pseudo Silver
Surplus - with a silver lining! We have almost half a hundred rolls of 18-1/2" wide mylar film, the shiny side printed with a variety of balloon designs - happy birthday, happy retirement, happy other things - and a matte silver finish on the other (picture the two sides of aluminum foil). We'll send you a roll of 20 ft. Lots of craft-project potential. Start with a shiny birthday kite. Move onto hand-made hair scrunchies. Jim suggests wrapping yourself in it if your car stalls in the Arctic. Philip, always the adventurer, is considering a do-it-yourself dirigible.

2-Quart/4-Quart Sprayers
What a convenient applicator for pesticides, herbicides and all those other ’cides that need safe handling. The white–plastic (HDPE) bottles have 1–3/8” OD mouths and molded handles on the top. Mix right in the bottle, then note the contents in ballpoint or permanent marker. Each bottle has a 36” x 1/8” dia plastic tube fed through a hole in its screw cap. At the end of the tube is a trigger sprayer with an adjustable nozzle. Pull enough tubing through the cap to operate the sprayer comfortably. The wide 1/2 gal size is 9" x 5-1/4" x 3-3/4". All are fully gasketed. Not into chemical warfare? Use these with water as super cooling devices, or primo water pistols.

Mirage Maker
Absolutely incredible device! The Mirage®, a precision optical instrument, creates three-dimensional images of objects of your choice where there is nothing. Drop pennies, keys or similar small objects (your sister won't fit) into the 2-3/8" dia opening of this 9" dia x 3" high flying-saucer-shaped disc, and a perfect image of the object will appear floating above it. The image is so real friends will try to grasp it, but their fingers will close on thin air! Use it as a high-tech centerpiece with a flower as the object! A booklet (included) explains the magic. New coating provides protection for the mirror surfaces. Highly recommended. Made in the USA.

Huile Et Vinaigre
Sacre Bleu! This wonderful glass container from Canada has (5) different salad dressing recipes printed tastefully on it - in French. Figure out the ingredients, fill to the oil and vinegar levels indicated, and mix right in the bottle. It's 7" x 2-7/16" dia, has a slight pouring lip, and holds up to 10 oz. It will take a #9 rubber stopper or #22 cork - or seal the 1-1/2" ID mouth with your palm as you shake it. Very earthy. Very chic.

Really, Really Old Animals
That's not just a rock -- that's a fossil nestled in the hinged clear-plastic display box 3-5/8" x 2-5/8" x 7/8". We have several different plants and animals, in different sizes and colors, including crinoids, brachiopods, turritella, dinosaur, and more, each with its own information sheet.

Bottom Feeder
The Garden Hardy® from APPCO should probably be called the Houseplant Hardy. Insert the 4" dia x 5/8" thick disc of nutrients between the saucer and pot of a potted plant, and for up to six months it nourishes the plant by releasing the correct mix of fertilizer as you water it. In addition, the wicking action promotes deeper rooting and prevents root rot. Note: Since dogs and kids rarely get root rot, you don't want to let them ingest this stuff.

Save Your Tables
Hard to believe you keep pots of mud in your living room -- and then add water so the dirt stays wet. You need a few 6" dia SoftTouch Plant Coasters. Each absorbent, felt-like white disc has a decorative cut-out design around the edge and a non-slip foam pad on the bottom. Consider them insurance against water damage, scratches and cats who like to nudge pots off the edge of tables.

Pills With Punch
Add a little pizazz to your nitro pills! This 1-3/4" x 1/2" dia container for meds is anodized aluminum in mostly silver but also could be in blue, turquoise, purple, red, gold (our choice). It's gasketed so it's watertight. We recommend cleaning the inside with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before using, since some have a bit of rust-colored residue in them. Flashy!
