In addition to the (hopefully) still forthcoming tortilla press, I bought my lovely wife one of these:
http://www.mefferts.com/products/details.php?lang=en&category=13&id=122
She really enjoys hand puzzles of various flavours, approximately 1000000 times more than me, and so I thought this would interest her. Frankly I wanted to get my hands on the thing largely because I wanted to see how it was manipulated, because looking at it I couldnt figure out what the base movements would be.
If you want to bend your head a bit, go back one level on that site to the main product list and just look at what these crazy people have done. I never even got the hang of the basic cube, never mind these monstrosities. And note that the thing I bought is rated only 3 out of 6 on the difficulty scale.

In other news, why in the hell do they make these napkins with a sheen finish that don't actually ABSORB ANYTHING?! It's perverse, that's what it is.
