IAASA Stuffed Animals: Fun For Any Age
Check out IAASA, the coolest gift around
Big kids and little kids alike love IAASA, the custom stuffed animal that looks exactly like you -- or anyone you want it to. If you haven't heard of this phenomenon, IAASA stands for I am a stuffed animal. The company makes lifelike stuffed animals -- or people -- from photos or drawings you submit.
I am a stuffed animal for Christmas
If you know anything about custom stuffed animals, you'll appreciate the quality that goes into this 14 inch tall stuffed people. You can also get 3 packs of personalized mini buddies that are only 4 and a half inches tall, which make excellent stocking stuffers (you know the kids would love a copy of you to kick around when you lay down the law, right?).
If you're still not sure what we're talking about, visit www.iamastuffedanimal.com and check out their gallery to see the people, animals, and, er, other things they've successfully transformed into lifelike stuffed animals.
How it works
Send them a couple of photos (the clearer the better), tell them some pertinent information (like your hair and eye color and what sort of clothes you'd like your stuffed you to wear), and sit back and wait. Within 3-4 weeks, your IAASA buddy will arrive on your doorstep.
You can also request copies of other people or items. A stuffed copy of the family pet, for example -- or what twelve year old girl wouldn't want lifelike stuffed animals wearing Justin Beiber's face? Let your imagination guide you and there will be surprised faces on Christmas morning.
The best part is, I am a stuffed animal works for kids of all ages. You can get the family pet for one of the kids (and let's face it, kids love having dolls of themselves, too), Edward from Twilight for your teenage daughter, your son's favorite wrestler, and your husband's own face on a doll dressed as a superspy -- or your wife as a supermodel. There's really no limit to what your imagination can come up with.
Other Options
The one down side to any custom stuffed animals is price -- IAASA buddies come in at almost $70 before shipping. If you love the idea and are still interested, you have two options: go for the 3 pack of mini buddies for $49, or buy one of their premade 'famous people' models.
The famous people stuffed animals include everything from President Barrack Obama to Shakespeare to Cthulu (yes, Cthulu), and they're crafted with the same painstaking detail as the regular buddies. At only $34.95, these are a pretty reasonable option for most folks.
The whole idea behind I am a stuffed animal is refreshingly fun, unique, and innovative. If you're tired of giving the same old gifts every holiday season, you'll enjoy browsing family photos and choosing the right way to surprise your kids. Just act fast -- IAASA buddies are popular Christmas items!
