If you're anything like me, you have an unusual friend or two. (Or, you know, all of them.) And shopping for such people can be difficult--something too common might bore them, but you don't want to insult them with something too outrageous, either. Striking the right balance between whimsy and likability is a challenge! But here we have the Tinysaur kits: miniature models of dinosaurs (either a T. Rex or a Triceratops) that you make yourself.
Made from laser-cut oak, these kits are involved and come with a pair of tweezers and a tube of glue to facilitate assembly. Each kit will keep the stranger buddies of yours occupied and hopefully fill them with glee! I mean, come on--who doesn't love tiny dinosaurs?)

CATE WHERE IS YOUR DINOSAURS TAG.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this is totally awesome. Do you think my sixteen-year-old brother would appreciate one?
Oh, hey, thanks for reminding me about the DINOSAURS tag!
ReplyDeleteAlso, yes. I think that your 16-year-old brother would appreciate this. He strikes me as the kind of kid who understands that dinosaurs are love.
I'll have to call him up and ask him if he likes dinosaurs, and if he understands that it's the thought that counts, not the size of the gift.
ReplyDeleteOr I'll ask him at Thanksgiving.
The fact that you've miniaturized a dinosaur JUST FOR HIM should be enough. I'm just sayin'.
