Another Great Gift For Dad!

This fun chess set is from Umbra. The wobbly chess pieces sit in concave squares, adding motion to an otherwise still game.The concave landscape stabilizes the freely quivering chess pieces, creating a lively interaction betweem board and chess pieces.

Dad will love this, and you never need to put it away, since it always looks great on display!

Happy Father's Day, dads!

Great Gifts for Dad!

These sleek little modern looking cufflinks are great for gifts! Perfect for Father's Day, they were designed by Theo Stewart/Stand as gifts for the groomsmen in his wedding, and were such a hit that everyone encouraged him to design more, and sell them!
We are glad he did!


These ones are reversible, and have a great detail to design on both sides:

These little rectangular ones are a best-seller!


But these little conical ones are a big hit, as well! We think these are so sleek and attractive, who wouldn't want their man to wear them?

The Super Zeros!

Or, as they like to be called, Ze Zuper Zeros! These little guys are hero friends whose "Zuper powers" and problems blend together. They have their pluses and minuses, but they're super special, just like you!

This is Zonk the monkey. He is a super climber, and can reach the top of anything in no time flat, but, he's afraid of heights, so he uses his cape to parachute to the ground!

This is Zola the koala. She can stay awake all night keeping watch, but she gets very tired and falls asleep during the day, so she cozies up with her cape and goes to sleep.


This is Zoco the crocodile. He can chew through anything with his sharp teeth, but, his teeth are always dirty, so he uses his cape to wipe them clean!


This is Zipo the Hippo, he can swim super fast, but, he doesn't like getting wet, so he uses his cape to dry off super quickly.


This is Zebu the zebra, he is duper good at hiding, and uses his cape as camouflage, but, he's always getting lost. His spotted cape helps his friends find him!


This is Zaza the mouse, she can crawl through super small spaces, but, she's afraid of the dark, so her friends use her cape to pull her out!




We have these little super hero friends at our store, collect them all! What great gifts for little and big kids! Come in to pick out yours, or send us an email, and we can ship them to you.
