Protect your hardwood staircases and yourself with no-slip oval mats that provide confident footing while preventing the wear and tear that ages hardwood over time. The classic weave of these braided mats is backed with a sturdy latex that securely grips hardwood without the need for tacks, glue, or nails. The braided weave is made up of 33% polypropylene and 67% nylon chenille-a combination that is durable enough to resist years of traffic, yet still maintain a robust pile and fine finish. Dry clean or spot clean with mild solution. Sized to fit at the base of stairs, at an entryway, or in a kitchen or bathroom. Imported. Please specify Sand, Navy, Hunter Green, or Burgundy. (2 lbs.)

Windchaser Products Inc.
Unlike common household fans that sit on the floor and are too low to effectively cool higher areas, this oscillating fan is 4' tall, yet occupies less than a 1' sq. of floor space, for a greater range of cooling height without having to stack boxes, clutter window sills, or block tabletop areas. Traditional fans have to be placed away from walls or other constricting spaces, but this unit can stand in a corner for greater air circulation throughout a room without impeding foot traffic. It has a digital programmable thermostat, three fan speeds for personalized cooling, and it can be set to oscillate through 90 degrees or remain in a fixed position for targeted air flow. A sleep setting automatically lowers fan speed at night to reduce noise levels, and all functions can be controlled by the key panel or the remote control that stores in a slot on the fan column. 48" H x 11" Diam. (3 lbs.)

ECOSPHERE ASSOCIATES LTD
A self-contained, self-supporting ecological system is permanently sealed within this hand-blown borsilica glass sphere. Its careful balance of air, water, plant and animal life was developed as the result of years of NASA research into self-sustaining, bio-regenerative systems where the equilibrium must be maintained for long periods of time, such as long-term space stations. Inside, tiny shrimp feed on bacteria that metabolize organic waste into nutrients for the algae which, in turn, photosynthesize the oxygen needed for the shrimp and bacteria to survive. The life span of the shrimp is up to three years and that of the algae and bacteria is indefinite. 4-inch diameter. Available only in the Continental U.S. Premium or Express delivery is not available for this item.

This is the kit that allows you to transform a favorite photograph into a framed canvas painting. After receiving the kit, you either mail traditional prints or e-mail a digital picture to the art house who crops the photograph to align it with the proportions of the canvas you indicate, enhances color and cleans the print to remove dust and scratches, and then, using a specialized stylus and tablet, replicates the image on canvas with the textured look of brushstrokes, sweeps, and daubs of a real portrait. Black and white pictures can be converted to color; color pictures to black and white. Please send negatives or duplicates for irreplaceable keepsake photographs. 16" L x 20" H. (5 lbs.)
