The classic stretchy sticky hand, sold in bulk packs from 5 to 50 pieces. Flick it, slap it against a wall, watch it crawl back down — it is the cheapest reliable laugh in the party bag.

Teachers use them as reward-box filler, parents use them for goody bags, and they hold up to far more abuse than they look like they will.
