AKA hand boiler. An exotic bit of hand blown glass with a bulb at top and bottom connected by some zippy tubing that spirals, loops, and/or jogs. In the closed system is some colored liquid (methyl chloride) that is very light. Hold the lower bulb in you hand and as the air in the system is warmed it pushes the fluid through the loops to the upper chamber. When all the liquid is pushed out of the lower bulb, expanding air will bubble through the tubing making it appear that the liquid is boiling. WARNING! The glass is fragile and the liquid is nasty. If you drop the thing on e.g. the kitchen tile, it will eat the finish off the tile and the stain in the liquid will permanently stain the floor. So don't let kids handle this item unsupervised. About 7" tall, it is a favorite in our stores.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
We love these! You're going to love these! Your kids are going to love these! Hundreds of clear marble-sized bubbles can cover the floor, cling to the sides of furniture, land on your arm. They float enchantingly, rising on air currents you can't even feel. After a few seconds, the bubbles are hard enough to catch or stack. Some will still be perched in out-of-the-way spots a day later. Touchabubbles goop, thicker than the bubble-blowing liquid you're familiar with, comes in a 4" plastic test tube with a wand built into the cap, and a clip on the side so you can carry it in a shirt pocket. The goop is nontoxic, but it tastes really bad, and you probably won't want these landing on expensive tabletops, so kids under 8 should have adult help with them. They should be sharing the fun anyway!

The whole office can be full of dust-free monitor screens, thanks to the hero who handed out dry squeegees to everyone! The 3-7/8" wide plastic scrapers (very assorted colors, our choice) have a 1/4" wide strip of something fuzzy on one side to sweep lint and dust from the glass. When the air conditioner goes berserk, you can flip them over to scrape off the frost. You want to be a real hero, give them extras for their windshields.

CJ is the resident musician at A.S.&S., and he can play this roll-up keyboard to a fare-thee-well. "It sounds great," he says, "and it doesn't get any more portable than this." About nine steps beyond nifty, this extremely cool electronic keyboard unrolls to 25-1/4" long x 5-1/4" but the 1/8"-thick rubber-membrane keyboard rolls up around the sound module to become the exact size of healthy ham and cheese sandwich. It has (26) different tones, (99) rhythms, (10) demo songs, a (3) octave range and it runs on (3) "AAA" batteries (Not included.). The business end has volume, power, function, start and stop controls, a built-in 1-3/4" speaker, headphone output and jacks for a 6VDC 300mA adapter 3.5mm plug (not included). And if you let the cat play on it, we bet you'll get Phillip Glass tunes.

That'd fill this 9-oz ceramic coffee mug with the periodic table of elements printed on the side to about half a cup. It's printed in color on both sides, actually, in case you're left-handed. The atomic numbers and weights are a trifle small, but then they are atomic.
