Decidedly clever little gizmo reminiscent of our ever popular tornado tube. It consists of a plastic sleeve into which one screws two empty 2-liter soda bottles. Inserted into the connecting tube are clear plastic "straws", one extending toward the...

This fidget toy doesn’t spin, and that’s the appeal. It’s a Magnetic Magic Cube that measures 2-1/2” on all sides, it being a cube and all. But it’s changeable since it’s made up of lots of angled pieces, and can be...

When we get tired of our fidget spinner we reach for our (3) fidget popper/sensory toys, which we doubt we’ll ever get tired of. Ever pop bubble wrap? Yeah, these things leave bubble wrap in their dust because they don’t pop—they plop...

Keep your place with this gold foil replica of a US $100 bill. Looks like the real thing, including counterfeit-foiling color additions. Measures approx 6" x 2-1/2," which is just half a smidgen smaller than a real C-note. Franklin looks a little like a...

We don’t have much to say about these, and we don’t care how you use them. We just know lots of Surpies will want them, because when you do this stuff for a while, you learn a few things. We’re talking about yellow, 2-1/4" tall x 3-1/4"...

THE American classic novelty item (even ahead of the whoopee cushion and rubber vomit, we think) is a set of chattering choppers. Auto-dentures. Invented by Eddy Goldfarb in 1949, a man who made the Toy Industry Hall of Fame ahead of Milton Bradley,...

It could have been called an Alabama Buzzer after Alabama Vest, the man who invented it. Or a Clegghorn, after Thaddeus Von Clegg, the clock master who fabricated the first one. But the hand-crafted 4-3/4" long steel instrument was a simple amusement,...

Direct from the American Academy of Cheesy Fake Acting Awards, we present our genuine faux Oscar-esque hollow plastic statuette with authentic ersatz gold plating, for the best supporting player in your life. Stands 9-1/4" tall on a 3" dia base. Why?...

Plunk your magic twanger and call yourself froggy. This 3-5/8" long steel jaw harp, or mouth harp, is technically a plucked idiophone, but don't say that in Nashville. Includes playing instructions. Pay no attention to that vibration in your head.

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...

No mother will approve this item, so keep quiet until it arrives. Our 2-1/4" long inflatable tongue has a pacifier-type end that you hold between your teeth. Blow into it and the rather standard-size pink rubber tongue inflates to three times normal size...

Our seriously oversized #2 pencil is perfect for someone taking really important notes, or anyone who's tired of misplacing pencils. Also good for that big test. Measures 14" long x a 1-1/8" octagon, with a working eraser. Really thick graphite runs...

Us too, but then who doesn’t kazoo? These 5" long classic steel kazoos have 1-1/8” resonators, and come in (16) festive patterns. They come in sealed blind-box packaging so even our warehouse elves don't know which style you'll receive, and...

Or the Swanee whistle. Whatever you call it, this little slide whistle (just consider it the smallest trombone in the universe) has an outsized musical history. No elevator has ever fallen in a cartoon without its accompaniment, and no jug band is...

The original Joy Buzzer was called the Joke Buzzer (1932 U.S. patent #1845735, Soren Adams) and it replaced the more dangerous Zapper, which is lost to time, more's the pity. Our standard wind-up model is a 1-3/8" dia circle of perennial vibrating fun,...

Or singing suppositories. The pair is very magnetic, whatever they are. The 1-3/4" long prolate spheroids look like highly polished black hematites. Hold them an inch apart in your palm, toss 'em into the air and listen to them make a sound like the...

is best done with the sacred mother of all novelty items, the original Whoopee Cushion. Marlon Brando owned one. Of course he did, they're both American classics, except the cushion was born in Toronto. Ours is the classic 8" version.

A plastic pistol shaped toy that shoots slugs of raw potato. Push the barrel into a potato, break off the slug, aim and shoot up to fifteen feet. Loads of fun, environmentally harmless, and about as safe as any "projectile" toy can be!! Pulls apart for...

You don’t need your therapist to know that you’re projecting again when you fire up this far-out Star Projection Lamp. Buttons control a multitude of lighting options: single color, dual color, tri-color or white with various added-color...
