Man Gift Supreme! Etsy Scores Again

Clever solution to the gift-idea challenged. Particularly cool for menfolk methinks.

An Etsy vendor provides the solution:

You email them with a photo and simple specs and they create a "stuffed animal" version of...er...whomever you wish.

My imaginations' juicing up, so I leave it to yours.

Carnival in Rio!!!

Members of Unidos da Tijuca samba school perform during carnival celebrations at the Sambodrome in Rio de Janeiro, early Monday, Feb. 15, 2010.

And, if you've never seen it, each samba "school" passes through the Sabadrome to parade their costumes and party like it's going to be Lent!


To give you an idea of the scope of the venue, check this out:

Take a shot?

Hint: Almost Lent!
