Put this on the bedroom wall, and they'll think you hung the moon. Really. The Moon In My Room" is a detailed convex moon, 10" dia x 3" thick at the center, from Uncle Milton®. It will turn itself on in a darkened room (it's night-light bright, like the real moon) and run automatically through all (12) phases in 5-second intervals, or in manual mode with you at the remote control. The lamp takes (4) "AA" batteries, the remote takes (2), and you're buying. Includes a 15-minute audio CD tour of the moon, and has (3) slotted mounting holes on, you should pardon the expression, the dark side of the moon.

It's a little 2-1/2" square base with brushed-aluminum-look sides and a mirrored top, in the middle of which 3 colored LEDs flash on and off in individual and combination patterns. Makes a dandy base to show off crystal and cocktail glasses, but stick a large styrene coffee cup upside down over it and put it in a dark room and you have the world's cheapest multi-color light show. Line up a dozen or so on the front walk and you've got the world's first flashing multicolored luminaria show for party nights. You add (3) "AAA" batteries.

Physics faculty alert: It's very small, but teaches a powerful lesson, this little diamagnetic-properties demo kit. You get (4) plated magnets, each 1/4" square x 3/32", and (2) 1/4" square pieces of graphite to float above them. The graphite may have slight chips along the edge but that won't affect the effect. Includes instructions/fact sheet.

93630 LEVITATION DEMO |
Sextants came along after astrolabes but before GPS. (Just like you.) They're used for finding latitude and the distance between objects, and are still the non-electric, non-satellite-dependent back-up for navigators. Ours is a beauty in solid brass with glass optical components, at a tiny price. Measures approx 4-5/8" x 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" OA and comes in a very nice wooden case. Includes instructions for use, which you're going to need unless you went to Annapolis where they still teach it because computers can still go all kaflooey. (Note that well before computers started going kaflooey, compasses and sextants lost an adventurer here and there, too, so don't call us if you and the sextant set out for Madagascar and end up in Iceland.)

Made for your home darkroom, but loaded with dozens of uses for you creative types, this is a set of (5) 3/4" alligator clips, each on a 2" length of fine steel cable and strung on another 12" cable. Mount the 12" length, using the small ring or the removable 1-5/8" suction cup at each end. Hang pix to dry, multiple phone messages on a glass door, holiday/birthday cards on a mirror, freshly washed socks on a motel bathroom wall. Or buy several and accessorize any room in the house. It's a look that will drive that Crockery Barn bunch crazy with envy.

Use it as a stencil, hang it on a wall or from a string, or put it in front of a black light, which is what these die-cut acrylic figures were meant for since they're UV reactive.

The heart is fittingly red, approx 6-1/2" across x 9" tall, plus a 1/2" mounting tab. A smaller heart is cut from the center. All are 3/32" thick with a paper backing.

You know, those 15 squares in a 16-slot frame, where you slide them around to put them in the right order. They usually have numbers or a picture on them, but these are blank white squares so you can write, draw, or paste you own puzzle on them. Each is 2-3/8" square. The monitor puzzle is set in a computer-monitor-shaped back; the bulb puzzle in a hand-friendly lightbulb-shaped back.
