MACRO VIEW OF THE MICROSCOPE
After working in the Gift House for awhile, you start to see patterns. The unopened toy microscope set is a common sight while every magic set is pulled apart and missing pieces.

WHERE IS THE BONE IN BONE CHINA?
I never understood what the "bone" in bone china was about. But I can vouch that it keeps the tea warmer longer -- and this set of eight cups and saucers from England are fantastic. Not one chip!
TIME TRAVEL SALTINES
Time travel item. A crowd gathered at the Gift House. Nobody could remember how long ago these cracker tins were used -- or what point Nabisco stopped bothering to make them. Bring them back!
THE FONDUE CURE
Un-desirable house guests? This devilishly clever contraption arrived in the Gift House in February -- and has just returned! The Fondue Cure works every time. Serve steaming-hot melted cheese on a humid August evening and your house guests won't need any more veiled hints. It's like an ant bait trap. They just won't come back!
