I received products for review. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services. Your opinions and results may differ.
Ever wonder what a dust mite, a brain cell, the bird flu, or chlamydia look like in microscopic form? Of course there's the old fashion way of looking through the microscope, but there's also the off-the-wall way of viewing them in a whole new light, in the shapes that they are, made into plush and vinyl figurines. GIANTmicrobes catches microbials in a way that is interesting. GIANTmicrobes founder, Drew Oliver, develops microbials into chracters that have personality.
Just in time for Christmas, GIANTmicrobes has three ornament sets - a wreath, a stocking, and a Christmas tree - with mini microbe ornaments. The Christmas Wreath Box, which I received for review, includes Sore Throat, White Blood Cell, Stomach Ache, Nerve Cell, and a shimmering gold Amoeba. They are festively adorned with top hats, angel wings, and other Christmas accessories.The plush microbial ornaments are shaped to resemble what they look like under a microscope. Each has a gold string to hang the ornament from. The box they come in can be reused to store the ornaments in until next time they are hung. Juliann has a small desktop Christmas tree she's going to set out this year and hang the plush microbe ornaments from it. They may not be the most traditional of Christmas ornaments, but they certainly are the most interesting!

My favorite Is the NoroVirus
I graduated in the Philippines with a degree in Medical Technology so I am very familiar with the microbes. They are not so cute under the microscope but the idea as a stuffed toy is sooo cute! :)I would love the Giardia lamblia stuffed toy because that scientific name got stucked in my mind even after graduating. It is also called the one with the "old man's face". :)
We think the diarhhea is hysterical
I think the Diarrhea one would be a hilarious gift!
I like the Algae, but I found this really cute idea very interesting.
Thanks Terra!
