A simple two-piece cardboard fir tree is placed in the container of liquid supplied. Within a few hours colourful flowers begin to appear, and grow on to produce an astonishing and attractive thing which will last almost indefinitely if protected and sensibly positioned. It comes in a box which fully explains and illustrates what to [...]
Astronaut Food Neopolitan Ice-Cream

Eat the same food NASA Astronauts eat on space missions. The foil sachets contain freeze dried ice-cream which lasts almost indefinitely, making it suitable for long space flights. As they are eaten, saliva in the mouth re-hydrates the ultra-light chunks, returning them to their original state. (Warm ice cream is particularly strange.)

A clever combination of stylish silver colour photo frame and slide tile puzzle. Any suitably sized picture can be cut into 5cm chunks and inserted into the tiles which slide around inside the frame, until the image is all jumbled up. Family members, pets or favourite celebrities would all be good subjects.

This fascinating collection of school reports of high-achievers makes compulsive reading. Everybody from Winston Churchill, to Michael Palin and Princess Diana are included as well as famous reporters, writers, inventors and many more. Some are insightful, others wildly inaccurate, many are very amusing from a time before political correctness when tormented teachers could write exactly [...]
Nuns Having Fun Calendar

Filed under Curious Creations
Probably the most surreal of all the items we considered for this catalogue and an instant favourite. Each month there are black and white pictures from the ’50s and ’60s of Nuns participating in unconventional and, some might say, inappropriate activities. There is something amusing and rather ridiculous about nuns playing softball, fishing and skeet-shooting [...]
Strangest Pubs In Britain

Even the title fails to prepare you for just how extraordinary some of the featured pubs are. The Crooked House Pub has subsided 4′, so now the drinks slide slowly uphill, whilst in one pub in Somerset your beer will stick to the wall completely unsupported. Toe wrestling, snail-racing and skittles played with cheese are [...]
