Flexi-Sphere
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Interesting wire contraption that we played with as a child. A series of (4) tiers of overlapping and intertwined brass wire semicircular hoops are anchored at the open end to a pair of full circles. The whole can be shaped into a tube, double balls, a flower petal, etc, depending upon what areas are opened, which closed. A variety of colored beads on the hoops add a decorative touch. Fun, intriguing and decorative all at the same time.

We Wuz Framed
And we did it ourselves with this little mat cutter and self-healing cutting mat. The dual-blade mat cutter has a comfy rubber handle and a removable bevel for clean 45° cuts. The blade adjusts to 9/16" deep and is 4-1/2" long OA, and replacement blades are standard stock in art supply stores. The hard rubber cutting mat is self-healing and no, we don't know how it does that. It's 11-3/4" x 8-3/4" x 1/8" thick, marked with 1/8" and 5mm increments and 1/2" squares, and lines for 45° and 60° cuts.

Yeah, we've had that problem, too. Comes of pulling 'em out of dark dresser drawers. The Genius Light is a tiny, 2-3/8" x 1-3/16" x 3/4" thick oval with a pair of white battery powered LEDs inside, operated by a magnetic switch. Mount the self-adhesive light and the self-adhesive 1/2" x 3/16" x 3/8" plated magnet within 1/2" (ignore the 1" directions) of each other on opposing surfaces in a drawer, door-frame, cabinet, or fuse box, wherever you need a little light without any wiring. Open the door/drawer and the light goes on. Magical, no? Our each is a pack of (2) lights and magnets. Includes (3) button cell batteries for each light.

Filthy Lucre
For archeologically minded numismatists, now comes the "Dirty Old Coins" kit, complete with (5) genuine, hand-struck ancient coins from 1,500 to over 2,000 years old, all with their own authentic dirt and ancient schmutz still attached. All "Made in the Roman Empire. Assembled in the U.S.A." You get a 12pp instruction booklet, a PC or Mac-compatible CD-ROM coin image database for identification, a stiff brush, double-lens magnifier, and cleaning and de-corrosion fluids. Most coins will be worth a few dollars, the supplier says, but some rare finds could be worth "hundreds or even thousands." Plenty of fun either way.
