Very recently, I opened my mailbox, and it was just FULL of diseases and ailments! All sorts of germy, sickly, cute contagions were just all over the place. Wait…what? Yes, I said cute, LOL.

Of course, I’m talking about Giant Microbes! And they didn’t make me sick, they made me laugh. I have to confess right up front- I’m a SUPER fan of this company. They make all sorts of viruses, spores, diseases, etc in GIANT size, with eyes and in plush, vinyl, and all sorts of assorted merchandise.
And I mean really- what’s better then giving someone Flesh Eating Disease for their birthday? LOL…it would be the most original gift they got, for sure!
Confession #2- I gave these out as wedding favors when we got married. I really, really did. I figured my aunt was giving me an ulcer– why not give her one back? HA! It was so much fun- everyone loved them, and still talks about them years later. Yeah yeah, no plastic swans here! I got a bunch of various Giant Microbes, and left them on the tables next to the place cards. OK, maybe a little odd (I admit it!) but also a lot of fun. Best. Gifts. Ever.

(We did these, and the fundraiser stuffed animals for charity- every “even” person got a Giant Microbe, every “odd” one got one that helped raise money for charity when we purchased it.)

This time- we got to review The Common Cold Plush Doll, Bed Bug Vinyl Doll, and the Amoeba Petri Dish. Fun, fun!

I love these guys. And they are so much fun- they come with all these facts about them printed on their tags, so you get to learn all about your disease! 🙂
