Drop one of these denture shaped ice cubes into your drink and you’ll guarantee no-one will steal your glass at parties, as well as raising a few smiles (cold ones). We added a few drops of food colouring and milk to make the ice teeth even more realistic (disgusting!). The food-safe tray makes four icy [...]

Filed under Curious Creations

This amazing evolution of a traditional spinning top appears to defy physics and gravity. Just a quick twist gets it started and, as the spin becomes smoother, it actually speeds up. On a flat, smooth surface it will remain like this for hours (literally), as long as it remains untouched. All the time it is [...]

Last year we started selling the brilliant Pick Your Nose party cups and now, we are delighted to announce that children can pick their noses too (shocking revelation we know). Kids can choose to be animals such as a Zebra, Beaver or a green reptile that we’re not too sure about. Six designs in total, [...]

Q: What do you call a sleep walking nun? A: A roaming Catholic! You probably get the idea: toilet paper printed with ‘terribly’ amusing jokes, such as ‘What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite’. An excellent little ‘add-on’ present or stocking filler to bring a smile to the [...]

Chocolate Calculator

At first and even second glance you would be forgiven for thinking that it really is made of chocolate. It looks, feels and even smells (yes, it’s scented) of chocolate, but it is in fact a working solar powered calculator. The slip off and foil wrapper makes it particularly convincing. Strange, but an easy stocking [...]

Poptastic

Anyone who has popped bubble-wrap will know just how addictive and curiously therapeutic it can be. The problem with bubble-wrap is that, with each tiny pleasure filled explosion, the wrap is destroyed a little more. Also, carrying a roll around with you is inconvenient and, in time, likely to attract derisive comments from friends and [...]

With them comes a leaflet which tells that the Guatemalan Indians have traditionally used such dolls to solve all of their problems.
