More Curiosities & Novelties
This was so silly, we just had to get it! There are no perforations on the roll and it is all stuck together. So, when the victim tries to use it, it tears in to tiny little pieces! This is great for a prank or gag-gift, but we suggest that you keep a regular roll close by for the real use!

Little Message in a Bottle
More Shells & Sea
This little bottle is fantastic for a party favor - or even an invitation for a pool or summertime party (you can pretend it's a beach) or, of course a real beach party.
Along with a bit of sand and some miniature sea shells is a little scroll on which you may write the invitation, a thank you, your dreams, or anything! Although it will stay closed tightly with the cork, you might want to consider a bit of sealing wax to secure it - continuing the theme!

Carmen Miranda Paper Mask

This delightful mask rests neatly on your nose and there are ribbon ties to hold it securely.
The mask arrives flat and is simple to wear.

Faux Computer Eject Key
Of course it doesn't really work, but don't you just wish it did - at lease once in a while!?! This little button looks like it's a very special key - but, alas, it doesn't work - unless you want to get a few chuckles. It attaches easily - just peel off the protective backing and the adhesive holds it gently but firmly.
It is not just for computers - consider it in your car - you can pretend to eject annoying carpoolers. It will add a light-hearted touch to any situation or place where ejection might be warranted!
We tried it on a few things, and it came off easily. But please be careful where you place it, just in case!

Spiritual Entreaty Ashtray
Now we know this is irreverent, but the entreaty is excellent, all the same. Our heavy glass ashtray should easily affront the guilt of any smoker. The urgent warning, JESUS HATES IT WHEN YOU SMOKE is displayed with a picture. We tried it on a few hard-to-quit smokers, and each of them didn't smoke - at least near this ashtray.
The picture is on the reverse of the glass, so the image will not be tarnished if anyone dare use this ashtray.

Clint Eastwood Paper Mask

Paper Gas Mask
We would never suggest that you use this gas mask for protection. It is all in jest, we think! Made of hard mask paper and printed to resemble vintage chromolithograph printing, our gas mask mask is a sight to behold!
Elastics are on either side to attach on each ear. And a simply innovative trick with paper slits makes the filter appear as 3-dimensional!

3D Fireworks Glasses
Whether you watch fireworks or gaze at a holiday tree, you'll enjoy the experience even more with our 3D Fireworks Glasses.

PopCam™
It’s not just a photograph, it’s a work of Pop Art!

Vintage Chenille Animal Figures
Now, we're not really sure why these were created in the first place, but they are definitely unique! Each package contains a set of four chenille animals: [what we think are] a lion, a cat, an elephant and a long-eared dog.
Each figure's body is constructed of vintage chenille and a waxy-paper face is glued on front. The colors vary, but are mostly earthy tones of rust, red and forest.
Use these as is for package decoration, embellished ornaments and whimsical additions to your artwork....But better still, remove the faces and replace with vintage holiday scraps for extraordinary results!
Finding vintage chenille stems (pipe cleaners) is difficult and can be very expensive! And reproducing the vintage feel is time consuming and results are not always satisfactory, so save time with these little fellows!
