This building kit for kids comes with real miniature bricks, mortar, and a trowel. The mortar can be dissolved and the bricks re-used to build and re-build. What a great alternative to all the disposable plastic toys that are out there!

I found this at a place that sells stuff to dentists. It is a little creepy, but also kind of fascinating and beautiful. Silver and hinged, this denture necklace may say all the things your real teeth were too polite to mention.

Swanky tea set made of sleek wood, smooth ceramic, and rugged cork. The laminated wood bracelets make the cups stackable and act as insulation, handle, and coaster, all in one. Fantasies of tea with Liv Ullman in Oslo in ‘75.

This rechargable light is sort of a cross between a nightlight and a slug. What a friend to have on a dark night.
