Quick Frozen Cephlapods

Because Children Need Stuffed Animal Heads, Right?

Um...no.

Spotted in Toys 'R' Us this weekend; stuffed animal heads! Suitable for mounting on the wall, just like Grandpa has in his hunting lodge!

The most wrong/funny thing about this - to my mind, at least - is that one of the options is a unicorn's head.

Christmas Serendipity
