Get Dad "stuffed" this Father's Day!

I was on my usual Monday blog crawl, trying to catch up on some over due comment luv, when I ran across this awesome idea from onecoolpick.com (which BTW is starting to become one of my favorite blogs to hang out at - the blog is authored by mom and very talented Creative Design Professional Melanie Lantin - she has an awesome eye for the "cool" - you should check her out).

When I saw this, I had an "ah ha!" moment realizing that Father's day is right around the corner and how cool would it be to have dad stuffed and immortalized as a kinda-freaky mini-me? Yeah, I know! Super cool right? Well, the people over at www.iamastuffedanimal.com can do just that for you.  Each one is custom designed and handmade so they take approximately 4-6 weeks to make... time is ticking to make that Father's Day deadline. I'm totally stuffing the hubster this year...I may just get the whole fam stuffed!!



Think having a little stuffed "dad" lying around is just a tad on the freakish side? Why not have the kiddos drawing turned into a stuffed animal?  The peeps over at "Stuff Your Doodle" can do just that. They can make monsters, animals, aliens and even portraits of friends and family. It's unique. It's personal. And yeah, it's pretty cool! Check them out at www.stuffyourdoodles.com





Okay...so having things stuffed not your thing? Well, there are a few really fun sites out there that let you create a special gift just for dad. One of my favorites is www.zazzle.com. You can create custom T-shirts, mugs, hats, the always popular tie, and even skateboard decks! Seriously.




  



Have you spotted anything cool for this year's father's day gift? Let me know!! I'm always looking for something new and different.

  2. Super cute! My grandma did this for the boys last year - my cousins drew pictures of weird creatures and she made stuffed toys out of them. That's great that someone actually turned it into a business!
