This electronic chess game earned the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute's best rating for its quality of instruction and accuracy of level of play. The game was play-tested by an International Master with a 2,367 FIDE rating and found to be superior to other models because of the quality of its instructional mode, which uses an autoplay function that allows beginning to advanced players to watch the computer play itself--a key learning tool for assembling an array of opening moves. This game had the highest Elo rating (2,330) of all models tested, an opening book of 24,000 half-moves, and was the only one considered by a panel of 20 novice, moderate, and experienced players to be suitable for challenging play. Panelists commented that after the lesser models' limited opening books were exhausted, their intrinsic flaws were easily exposed and exploited, reducing them to amusing novelties. This unit's eight levels and 64 time controls were found to be best-suited for beginners and equally challenging for tournament-level players. Panelists also found this model to be the easiest to use and the one with the most features. The game's wooden chessboard uses walnut for its dark squares and maple for its white squares, and each are 1 1/2 sq., making them the closest to tournament standard size of the competing models. Magnetic sensors detect each of the hand-carved walnut and maple Staunton pieces, and each square has four LEDs that illuminate to indicate the computer's next move. It has a detachable chess clock and an easy-to-read display that shows chess notation for moves. Plugs into AC with the included adapter. Chessboard 11 3/4 sq. (2 lbs.).

Made by Kettler, makers of quality ride on toys in Germany since 1949, this is the heirloom quality pedal car modeled after a 1953 Corvette. Made with exacting detail that marked its larger predecessor as the most sought-after Corvette model in the world, this version has a chrome grill, fenders, and bumper with detailed wheel covers. Its tubular steel frame is covered by a durable ABS solid body painted in a high-gloss finish; ABS floor pan conceals drive chain and wheel wells. Its pedal crank is ball bearing-driven and uses bicycle pedals and a bicycle sprocket for smooth pedaling. The wheels use ball-bearing hubs on heavy spindles and axles that drive tubeless pneumatic tires. A hand-operated coaster lever switches between neutral and drive and a right-hand brake lever controls the brake for the rear wheels. The fully adjustable five-position ABS seat accommodates growing riders up to 125 lbs. Ages 4 to 10. 55 L x 28 W x 25 H. (75 lbs.).
This leather journal is embossed with the crests of the Medici family, renowned as the Godfathers of the Renaissance and credited with transforming Florence into Europe's cultural mecca during their 300-year reign. The heraldic devices were adopted by Medici patriarchs upon their accession to the throne, and the journal displays the crests in exacting detail, including Cosimo's three peacock feather crest that symbolizes his prudence, temperance, and fortitude. Handcrafted by Florentine artisans relying on centuries-old bookbinding techniques, the cover is embossed using a brass die-cast from the 16th century and engraved using heated branding irons. Unlike common, one-piece bindings, the Medici journal is bound using a labor-intensive process in which the front cover, back cover, and spine are bound individually by hand. The journal has acid-free, archival paper that will preserve your written thoughts for more than 100 years. 144 lined pages. 10 H x 7 W.

Hardcover; 2,096 pages.
Woven using 25,000 flexible stainless-steel threads that are three times thinner than a piece of paper--.001--this is the only wallet with a hand as smooth as silk and the strength that surpasses leather. Impervious to stretching or staining, and without sharp corners or the inherent bulk of other wallets, the stainless steel is the same metal fabric found in the architecture, aerospace, and automotive industries, resulting in a thin profile that allows it to fit into a front pocket. Resistant to corrosive materials such as salts, acids, and seawater, the tightly woven steel also passively resists radio-frequency hacking-the latest identity theft technique that attempts to scan newer credit cards. The wallet has six credit card slots, two internal pockets, and one large pocket for bills. 4 1/4 L x 3 1/4 W x 1/4 D. (4 3/4 oz.).
Inspired by Johann Uttenthaler's 1969 invention for gliding down the slopes of the Bavarian Alps, this zipfel bob combines the speed of Olympic luge racing with the effortless fun of coal shovel racing. Used in annual World Series competitions in Europe, riders sit with the joystick-like handle between their extended legs. It glides in a straight line on downhills, thanks to two molded rails on the underside of its slightly concave, high-density polyethylene frame that also allow you to make slalom-like turns in either groomed snow or fresh powder simply by leaning. Stopping is as simple as digging your heels in the snow. It only weighs 3 1/2 lbs., so transporting it up hills after each run is easy. Supports up to 250 lbs. Ages 5 and up. Made in the U.S. 20 L x 13 W x 14 H. (3 1/2 lbs.).
This remote-controlled, ride-on sports car allows parents to safely command a child's driving, or parents can relinquish control to the young driver at the touch of a button. Both modes enable movement forwards, backwards, left, and right, up to a gentle 3 mph. A seat belt and four sturdy EPP tires provide stability and safety during jaunts along the sidewalk. The working horn, flashing head- and taillights, and roaring engine sounds encourage imaginative play. Faithful outward details include sideview mirrors and chrome hubcaps. Operates for two hours after a 10-hour charge via AC. Requires one 9-volt and two AA batteries. Supports up to 45 lbs. Ages 3 to 6. 43 1/2 L x 24 W x 18 1/2 H. (28 1/2 lbs.).
This is the lambskin leather travel vest with 14 pockets that keep all your travel items within easy reach without the need for extra hip- or backpacks, yet it can be worn to dinner after a day's outing. Made of supple nappa lambskin with a buttery, soft hand, the arms are cut for freedom of movement while reaching overhead for luggage. Its pockets accommodate even the most accessory-laden traveler; the four front patch pockets can hold digital cameras, PDAs, cell phones, maps, and more. Each patch pocket has a zippered compartment that easily stores a key, coinage, or business cards. Two horizontal zippered pockets high on the chest can secure passports and other vital travel documents. It also has two hand-warmer pockets and two internal pockets. Lined with comfortable 100% cotton. Imported. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46), and XXL (48). (1 lb.).
This is the chronograph for cycling enthusiasts made by the 106-year-old company Festina, the official timekeeper for the Tour de France. Its bezel is shaped like the chainring on a bicycle with carbon fiber inserts, and the crown is housed in a bicycle chain link affixed to the #316 stainless steel case. Its precise timekeeping is provided by a Miyota movement--regarded as one of the world's best makers of quartz watch movements--and it has three additional sub-faces: a chronograph minute face, a chronograph 1/100 second face, and a 24-hour face. A magnified date window clearly displays the day of week, and the hour, minute, and second hands are all illuminated for use in the dark. A scratch-resistant stainless clasp secures the rubber and stitched fabric band to the wrist. Sturdy mineral crystal face. Double O-ring gaskets provide water-resistance to 100 meters. 1 3/4 W x 1/4 H. (6 oz.).
Only available at Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the three-volume collection of miscellany that contains an eclectic agglomeration of random marginalia, trivia, and trifles that covers such disparate subjects as American diner slang, the ABCs of rowing, and metric wire gauges. Composed by columnist Ben Schott, a regular contributor to The New York Times and The Times of London, each volume is written in a style reminiscent of almanacs, providing ample dissipation for the intrigued, curious reader. Schott's Original Miscellany includes a schematic of Dante's Inferno, the social hierarchy of falconry, and the United States presidential line of succession, while Schott's Sporting, Gaming & Idling Miscellany illustrates how to successfully navigate the maze at Hampton Court and when a Baffing Spoon might be more appropriate than a Brassie. Schott's Food & Drink Miscellany presents the contractual food and drink demands of 17 celebrities and the Latin names of 27 herbs and spices. Each book includes a silk bookmark. Each book 7 1/2 H x 4 3/4 W x 3/4 D. (8 oz.).
