DAO GAME
First to recommend
Description
this is a GREAT game - the simplicity of tic tac toe, but with a lot more strategy.
Dao is a two-player abstract strategy board game, which won the Mensa Select award in 2001. It comprises a 4x4 playing board with four playing pieces for each player.
The aim of the game is to arrange your pieces in certain winning formations before your opponent can. It is unique because any piece that is moving must move as far as it can.

Ole Million Face Game

Description
Make countless faces through the various combinations of the facial feature blocks. Fascinating for kids old and young. Many older adults may remember this or a similar toy from their youth.
Just try to leave it out on the table and not touch it or fiddle with changing the features on the poor guy!

Montana Antler Craft Fire Starter
First to recommend
Description
Firestarter with an antler handle. I know... I'm not thrilled about the antler part either, but I bet there are hunters or campers in your life who would find this a fabulous gift! There certainly were in my family. The firestarter also includes a strip of magnesium to ensure a quickly lit fire no matter what the conditions.

The Amazing Desktop Dinosaur Plant
3 people recommended this item
Description
This plant is awesome! It looks like a dead ball of roughage when you get it. But, just add water and it comes back to life to a 4" evergreen! It is called a dinosaur plant because it has been around that long - when the dinosaurs roamed these grew to be 120 feet tall (taller than a T Rex). And, if you forget to water it, don't worry! The plant will just hibernate into it's little ball form for up to 50 years. Then, add water again and it will come back! This is so amazing I just have to get one to see it in action. My Dad would love it, too.
Interesting facts that made me want it more: When dry it curls up into a tight ball so that the wind can easily roll it to a new location or cubicle, hopefully closer to moisture. Retains 3% of its water when it is dehydrated. Enjoys life so much it survived the Ice Age."
