2013 Holiday Gift Guide Suggestion
Here is a great gift idea for kids, teachers and even to give as a gag gift – GIANTmicrobes and/or Computer Virus Dolls!
Rarely does one think of microbes as cute and fuzzy, but GIANTmicrobes are exactly that! Created by Drew Oliver, GIANTMicrobes are plush toys designed to resemble the way microbes look when magnified many times under the microscope! Those of you who read my blog often have probably seen me post about GIANTMicrobes a few times now including my most recent review of The Common Cold GIANTMicrobe. To give you an idea of what else they carry, this time I received a Primordial Putty in a Petri Dish, one of their adorable Holiday Christmas Boxes, and as part of their newest separate Computer Virus Dolls line, a Computer Virus Dolls Digit Key chain!
Holiday Christmas Boxes
Perfect for the holidays, these festive boxes full of mini GIANTmicrobes ornaments come in three different shapes: Stocking, Tree and Wreath. I received the Tree Holiday Christmas Box which includes 5 mini-microbes dressed for the season complete with strings so you can use them as ornaments on your tree! The Common Cold is warm with a Santa hat on his ‘head’, Amoeba is wrapped in a colorful scarf, Kissing Disease is wearing a pretty bow, E. Coli has sprouted antlers and Brain Cell is ‘holding’ a candy cane! What a fun way to decorate for the holidays! A great gift idea for a teacher!
GIANTmicrobes Primordial Putty
The GIANTmicrobes Primordial Putty’s contain one collectible GIANTmicrobes® figure packaged in putty inside a Petri Dish, and comes with a label with an image and information about the microbe it represents! Available in several microbes, I received the Amoeba Primordial Putty which comes in orange-colored putty. These make great stocking stuffers, and are perfect for kids and adults alike!
Computer Virus Dolls Digits
The newest addition to the GIANTmicrobes family, Computer Virus Dolls, are perfect for all computer lovers and computer geeks! These plush dolls are replicas of common computer viruses from cyberspace, and just like actual computer viruses are made up of binary code, these dolls are made up of 1’s and 0’s to give them shape. They are available as both plush dolls, and smaller key chain versions known as Computer Virus Doll Digits. I received the Worm Computer Virus Digit who literally resembles a worm with its long body made of 0’s and two antennae made of 1’s. It is no longer than my pinky finger, and makes for a great conversation piece! The Computer Virus Dolls and Digits would make the perfect gag gift and stocking stuffer!
