Scratch 'n' Tell

Scratch 'n' Tell

You're back to when the kids were toddlers, and played with the wrappings instead of the presents. This full-color wrapping paper, with (2) 26" x 17" sheets in each pack, is covered with pictures and related questions about dinosaurs and black heritage. Scratch off the gold dots to check the answers. It's an interesting twist for grammar-school age kids or adults who like to play games.

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.

Bottom Feeder

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.

Grow Your Own

Stop it, that's illegal. But a nice Spanish peanut bush isn't. Twice the fun of a Chia Pet", which you can't even eat. Soak this in water, put the little plastic cup on your desk and it sprouts in a few days, grows six inches in three weeks, and for months if transplanted outdoors. Comes with germinating and transplanting instructions and makes one or more peanut plants. Jimmy Carter may have started like this. Or maybe not.

Choo-Choo Chelves

…to meet your whimsical storage and display needs. These were part of a Lillian Vernon set of wall-hung shelves that included, we suspect, a locomotive, train cars and a caboose. We got the cars, and we think they're plenty whimsical all by their lonesome. Heavy duty (3/8" thick painted wood) with less than heavy-duty hooks, but you could replace those or screw them straight onto the walls. Our each is a pair. The open-top car is blue, yellow, black and white with a night sky above it, and measures 13-5/8" long x 12-3/4" high x 5" deep. The car with the top is in red, green, black, blue, yellow and white, with the same night sky. It measures 13-5/8" long x 12-1/4" high x 5" deep. Handy dads could buy a second pair, add a few wooden blocks and dowels plus a lick of paint and make an engine and caboose from the closed-top cars. Kiddles love it when their dads do that.

Display-a-Doll

Display a pair, in fact. Our each is (2) clear flexible-vinyl doll display cases with creamy-white plastic bases. The bases are 6" square with 15" tall x 5-7/8" square vinyl cases with clear vinyl tops. The lightweight cases fold for storage. Each case comes with (2) stands: (1) waist grip that adjusts from 6-3/4" tall to approx 10" tall; and (1) 6-3/4" tall saddle style. Includes (2) self-adhesive 1/2" x 3-1/8" brass plates for names. Not into dolls? That waist clamp thing would also be just right for showcasing a prize carrot.

Lost Your Panic Button?

Do we have to say it? Yes, we do. DON'T PANIC! We have more. Regulation ASCII-sized red panic buttons with white lettering, ready to self-stick to a spare spot on your keyboard or anywhere else where you regularly lose control.

Light Up Your Labrador

They'll see the dog (or you) coming a block away with this black-canvas pet collar. It features a neon-green reflective section nearly the entire length of the collar with flashing red LEDs inside. Works great on the pooch, but would be just as useful strapped around a bike-rider's arm or leg. It’s 16" long (tightening down to 12") OA x 1" wide; each has a black plastic buckle, on/off push button, and a small D-ring near the middle for a leash. The LEDs flash approx 2X/sec and there's a small pouch that holds a tiny PC board and replaceable button cell battery. The package may or may not call it a "leash." Pay no attention.

Avocado Bagmaker

No, no, no, no-not bags for avocados. We're not in California. This is the Bagmaker" Sealer, a blast from the avocado kitchens of the past and a perfect collectible for your retro kitchen. A competitor of those Seal-a-Snack-like, hot-wire plastic-bag-sealing devices that no 1970 kitchen could be without. Still handy, however, in kitchen, lab, craft-room or shop. Comes with a 50-foot roll of 12"-wide, 1.5 mil bag material, but we think the refills for similar products still on the market would fit in the reservoir. Probably. And if not, this will still seal up regular plastic bags. The unit measures 13-5/8" long x 4-1/2" deep x 2-3/4" high, sits on a counter or mounts on a wall, draws 35W at 120VAC and is UL listed. You know you've always regretted selling yours in that garage sale. Go for it.

And in these quantities there's also almost certainly a craft, art or architectural project waiting to be created. For your stoppering convenience, we just happen to have the appropriate #00 corks available in the same quantities.

Beauteous Storage Or Display

These perfect little clear-plastic canisters have snug pull-off tops. They fit into die-cut circles in a black foam pad for display or shipping, with the cut-out foam placed inside the canisters. The foam makes them ideal for safe storage and artful display of individual coins, seeds, insects, stones (precious, semi-precious, or gall-), baby teeth, locks of hair, or any number of tiny treasures. Or toss the foam and store small amounts of anything that doesn't need a screw top. You pick (50) small canisters at 1-1/4" dia x 11/16" deep, or (12) larger canisters at 1-3/4” dia x 5/8" deep.
