You can order a set at http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/beaglewebstore/-strse-Chemistry-Sets/Categories.bok.

This is no lame set and comes with a pdf of the Gilbert experiments. I have had many hours of fun setting up my lab and doing the experiments. And I am 50.

I paid 99¢ for a 4oz/114gr bag of Golden Flower Brand. The barcode is 647406010327, if you want to have a store check their stock.

The author appears to have collected tons of info on interesting, makeable at home, compounds from professional sources:
