More items that normally sit on Tim’s mantelpiece, for him to admire every day!

From the AHA gallery in Zurich, this three dimensional card means the eyes follow you as you walk around the room!

Another of Tim’s unusual clocks. The ring with the hours on it rests on a small gear wheel, and slowly turns. A very unusual design of clock!

A daily calendar that is also a puzzle. Arrange the correct plastic pieces on the base, and it then shows you the day and the month. Some combinations are quite hard to work out, although there is a crib sheet if you cannot solve it! It means that Tim starts every day with a little puzzle.

An animated aardvark. Of course! When you lift the tail up and down, the head of the aardvark moves in and out of the outer shell. A folk art toy.

A fibre optic toy. There is a colour changing LED in the base, and then a naturally occurring crystal ball that sits on top. This acts as a fibre optic device.

Finally a small glass case containing a tiny folded-page book, which was made in Paris.
