Your Very Own Personal Alien

Just when I thought I may be running low on clever gift ideas, I discover that my This Next pals have discovered an adoptible alien. Why had I known this fourteen years ago, I may never have had children. But I will have to wait until my current aliens -er I mean children have departed from their teenage spaceships and rejoined the planet before I start stocking up on new aliens.

CANDLE CARVER

6 people recommended this item

Description

What Mom wouldn't appreciate a candle carver like this? How many times have I looked at an apple and thought: If only I could easily turn this into a votive holder, how much richer my life would be. This should work well with potatoes and perhaps even a slice of lasagna for that ultimate Italian dinner candlelight experience. (via Perpetual Kid)
