An asymmetrical booty that may only appeal to those who have some space in their hearts for Birkenstocks, the Puj Booti has the same European old-lady-shoe feel. But infant comfort with lots of room for wiggling toes is key, and there's an unconventional charm to this shoe.

Sort of an unconventional Mother's Day gift, the Flip was the gift of choice for my wife's second Mother's Day. She'll probably use it for 98% toddler video, so it makes perfect sense.

Description

Sure, it's only a box with a tile in it, but the image is appealing, and the whole is crafty and worth hanging on the right wall. Plus, any wiener dog cut in half is just funny.
