I got fascinated with topology recently -- the thought that a donut hole and a cup is basically the same toroid is somewhat mind bending in and of itself. Geometry enthusiasts will enjoy any of these toroidial (is that a proper adjective?) gifts at Words & Unwords under the section, Another Dimension (Geometry).

Optical Illusions - Putting A Complete Picture Together
Artists are always interested in negative space and positive space. Optical illusions are generally created from looking at different pieces of a picture -- which has both positive space and negative space -- and allowing an image to appear from the patterns. For your optical illusion gifts, ranging from the classic Devil's Pitch Fork to the emergent Dalmatian, check out Words & Words (www.wordsandunwords.com) in the Illusory Illusions section!

It is helpful to think in a linear manner, but not all subjects in life can be reduced to a datapoint. Explore the funny side of stats at the section called Stats, Stats & More Stats! at Words & Unwords (www.wordsandunwords.com):

Hello Everyone!
Today I begin an exciting adventure into the world of self-publishing and creation. The Internet is a vast resource, but more importantly we're still at the early stages of the Big Bang. No one knows how it will grow. I'll be introducing to the word my online stores in the near future and be part of the Big Bang.
I remain,
