I've been trying to find chemistry sets for X-mas presents but keep getting references to crystal growing kits. I'm not knocking crystal growing but it's not really the same thing. Any suggestions on key-words? I can not remember the name of the company that made the one I had as a kid. I probably never paid attention to it I'm sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Try googling 'chemistry lab set' or 'chemistry laboratory set'. Here's two from Best Science Supplies. I don''t know your country to find local ones.

Home science tools seem to have a good selection.

thank you both very much. 

I got this lot from google lotts chemistry sets, but I think that company has gone the way of all flesh.

The Science Museum advert at the top is disappointing as it only offers the usual two fingers to would be purchasers.
