Spread Love, Not Germs

You all know that my oldest daughter Mariah started college this fall. She's always been a huge lover of science, so she's working towards a degree in biochemistry with the hope of working in drug research and development once she has graduated. She likes to solve puzzles, so studying how the human body reacts to microbes, then finding ways it benefits the body or breaks it down is quite fascinating for her (No, she didn't get the love of science from me. I was horrible at it!) 

Now that the holidays are here, I am trying to knock out my gift shopping. If you know Mariah, you know that she is super hard to buy for. I've gotten to the point where I pass on the gift buying responsibilities for her to my husband every year. However, this year I found gift ideas that I know she is going to love- GIANTmicrobes. 

GIANTmicrobes offers a collection of hilarious and educational toy viruses, diseases, human body cells, and other organisms that make a great gift, stocking stuffer, or even White Elephant gift for your family and friends this holiday season. Send a subtle hint to your uncle with the Bad Breath plush, delight your nephew with Booger, send the new flame of your ex Chlamydia to give yourself a little giggle, and send that ex a Brain Cell or two:

 Or, be nice and give your current flame Kissing Disease, Sperm & Egg, or even your Heart.

I think Mariah will get a kick out of Common Cold since she is studying disease. While a real cold bug is no fun, I actually think this little guy is kind of cute. 

I am actually saving Tooth for my nephew since he will be losing his baby teeth soon. It has a little zipper pouch on the back of the plush where you can tuck away a lost tooth for the Tooth Fairy to come collect and leave behind a coin or two.

Each of these little critters are inspired by the invisible microscopic world and come with educational facts, so children and adults can both can learn more about the invisible life that we are surrounded with every day. 

GIANTmicrobes plush are hilarious and make a fun little gag gift, but they do have other items to choose from also, like jewelry, socks, candles, coasters, cups, and key chains. If you can think of a germ or disease, they more than likely have a plush for it. I mean, I'd rather have someone spread the love through plush and not pass along actual germs, right? This is such a fun way to show someone you care. Or don't. 

You can find all of the cute little critters shown here, plus many more by visiting GIANTmicrobes (if clickable link doesn't work, you can find them at www.giantmicrobes.com). Sprinkle the germs all around this holiday season. Your family and friends will love them :)

What microbe would you gift your loved one (or not so loved one?)
