Decorative glass shade (Oakridge RG21)
Gifted
This must have come from an electric light or candlestick holder originally. About the size of a melon with two openings top and bottom (not sealed underneath like a goldfish bowl!). Would make a nice ornament, tea light shade, etc.

Rubber / silicone wristbands (Oakridge RG21)
Left over from a Coldplay tribute concert, I have dozens of these rubber / silicone wristbands to give away. None seem to be lighting up anymore, however originally they lit up during a concert and could change colours. They were all destined for the bin but I rescued them as I'm sure they could have some sort of second life. All are fitted with cell-type batteries, pictured. The wristband straps are made of a soft rubber / silicone material which could be useful for crafty people.

Pair of lamp stands - marble? (Oakridge RG21)
Two lamp stands that made of marble, or a marble-like material anyway. One has gone somewhat yellow as you can see in the photos. I believe that these were quite expensive when originally bought from BHS. One lamp is complete with a cable but no plug; the other could do with a new cable / plug (I'm sure I can let you have a cable / plug as well). To go as a pair ideally.
