Gingerbread Kit: Cipher Wheel
$14.99
A working Caesar cipher in iced gingerbread style. Turn the red peppermint disc and it clicks from letter to letter, lining the two alphabets up exactly at each of the 26 stops. Pick a key letter, write your message, and only someone with a wheel and the key can read it. Get two and swap secret notes.
It arrives as one flat card of parts, like a plastic model kit. Twist the pieces off and pin them together without glue. It looks like iced gingerbread, with raised white "royal icing" letters over a brown wheel, but it's 3D-printed PLA plastic, so it won't crumble or go stale.
