TheReader Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I don't know if this qualifies as unusual, but thanks to the link to the Grand Canyon whiskey glasses, I went looking for other mountains (they have the Rocky Mountains as well), which I may get for my dad, and then went diving deeper into the website in general (so much stuff!) and found the gift my dad will get for my oldest, who's notoriously hard to shop for: https://huckberry.com/store/mollyjogger/category/p/44576-scrimshaw-knife-kit He's started woodburning as a hobby, and my dad used to do scrimshaw, so this will be a perfect gift from grandpa to grandson. And I'm seriously contemplating the jmsomethingorother artist stuff someone posted, particularly his barstools of all things, as we're in need of some, none are available, and we might as well get a conversation piece(s) instead, right?? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyGF Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 @Kareni The plush organs general link isn't working, but it made me think of dd5 who has been obsessed with lungs since before COVID. These lungs might be just right, though maybe I'll just get dd15 to crochet her these. (Now, how does a 3-year-old become obsessed with lungs and keep up with it for two years? She's just that sort of kid and she met a doctor who showed her a very realistic lung model.) Emily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
