Ofer's Birthday Mystery Revealed

For all those who still don't know and wonder about those mysterious teasers, here is the complete report regarding Ofer's birthday present(s).
So, what are those teasers and how can so many different objects be connected to one birthday present? The answer is simple - there were 30 birthday presents! He has turned 30 after all. (Credit for the idea goes to Gal).
I don't know if any of you ever tryed to buy 30 presents, but I can tell you - it's not simple. You have a budget, so you have to buy a lot of cheap stuff, lots of crap in other words. But it has to be nice crap!
So there were some funny scenes during our searches, like Gal holding a keyholder (price - 12 shequel) and saying (with all the shop hearing us): "This is nice! Pity we can't afford it!". I thought people would come to us offering food and shelter after this :)
Wrapping 30 presents is another difficult task:
And that's how they looked on a caffe table when we went celebrating:

So, about the teasers:
First is an eye of a toy fish (I'll post more about this fish later).
Second is a close shot of an axe. Yes, you got it right, we gave Ofer an axe for his birthday. It may seem strange at first, but already today it was used. And I have to say - now gathering firewood for our kumzitz is much much easier. Please notice the creative wrap of this present.
Third is a big box with a really tiny crocodile keyholder in it.
4 is a sharpening stone for the axe.
5 is a plastic cap (so that Gal wouldn't be able to break it for a change) and a waver for grill (last time we were grilling we had problems with it).
I will not post the entire list of the presents, it's too long. But maybe Ofer will post something about some nice applications of one of them.
And this is Ofer unwrapping the presents:

Yes, we know it's hard work! Suffer in silence! Wrapping was harder.

Of course we couldn't afford 30 candles :)

So, who's next?
