Yesterday’s item was amazing, and so I’m not expecting anything grand in today’s calendar box.

I’ve wrapped up another successful season of Power Pencils! I won’t be able to process any new orders until after Christmas. If you missed out, stop by the day after Christmas and use your gift cards on magic pencils. It’s the gift you really want!

Thank you all for the support! I hope you love the pencils and signs. I had fun making them, and more are on the way.

And now let’s rip open today’s door and find…

It’s an Ion Cannon!

Not bad. Not bad at all, actually.

The Ion Cannon is the thing the Rebels used on Hoth. I always loved that gun.

At first, this thing wouldn’t fit together. It’s made of two tiny half-spheres and then one larger punch-bowl hemisphere. The two halves of the sphere don’t snap together, so I thought this was a cheap design. But then my girlfriend said, “Maybe they snap into the half of the outer hemisphere?” And she was right! The little sphere does snap nicely into the outer hemisphere. And I know that might sound confusing, but I’m not going back to edit that down into better words.

Too much to do!

The cannon is great. It swivels around and has a wonderful green laser rod, so what’s not to love!?

You could also use it as a cosmic Christmas tree. Last year we got a moisture-vaporator that could double as a tree. I like this one better because it has a green laser.

And then Stickles wanted to see what it tasted like.

Day 19 Rating: 3.032 out of 5 (Points added for being better than I originally thought.)

If you didn’t get your PowerPencils.com order in by yesterday, you’re screwed and Christmas is ruined. But you can still order Power Pencils! They just won’t arrive until after the 25th. Brighten someone’s New Year with the gift of magic pencils!
