At last, the perfect gift for your brother-in-law who has everything. Fill our brand-new, individually wrapped, empty toothpaste-type tubes with your own homemade treat: guava toothpaste with pumice, pigeon-liver pate, free-flowing fudge. The aluminum tubes are 1-1/2" dia x 7-1/2" long OA, open at one end (waiting to be crimped shut), and with a nozzle and screwcap on the other end. They have lithographed labels. The tubes are being stored in the warehouse, of course, so you're going to want to be judicious about putting real food in them....

31205 DIY TOOTHPASTE TUBE |
An imported tape dispenser specifically for the 2" wide carton tapes listed below. Guns of this type retail at $9.50 to $11.50, but we're offering this price to you as an accommodation to introduce you to the thrill of packaging, and to let you transform your dining room table into a shipping department overnight. The clear tape is an uber-sticky, high-quality tape made in the USA, and can be used as protective covering over labels or for sealing cartons. The tan tape is, well, tan, and the standard lightweight, 2” carton-sealing tape, available in 36 and 110 yard lengths, both of which are on 3” cores and fit the dispenser. And do compare the savings -- even discount stationery catalogs can't touch these prices.

It's nice to know that some things don't change. One is the Jacob's Ladder. Still made with (6) slabs of wood, each about 2" x 2" x 1/2", each a bright combination of colors, and all connected by a contrasting ribbon. Hold one end up and let the string of slabs dangle. When you flop the top block end for end, each lower slab in turn will flop end for end. Fascinating. Particularly if you are about 5 to 9 years old.

Terrific glass lampshades in a straight-sided bell shape. You get (2) matching shades, our choice of a clear iridescent glass with a cut edge, a clear crackle glass, a frosted glass with a graceful blue spiral accent, or one etched with Jack Frost patterns. Each is 4" tall x 4-1/2" dia with a 1-1/2" dia mouth. While they are made to sit large-opening-up on a chandelier or wall fixture (they don't have the rolled rim they'd need to hang upside down) we see them enclosing small candles in a glittering centerpiece. Very sophisticated.

Black and white sand in a viscous colored fluid. The sand and fluid are between 5-1/2" wide x 3-1/2" high panes of glass, framed on a gimbaled stand. Flip the panel and watch the sand swirl and eddy into endlessly new pictures of dunes, drifts, mountains or moonscapes, depending on your imagination and the pattern they form. The mix of black and white creates a definite third dimension to the images. Pretty neat, as these things go.

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.
