Cool Gift of the Day
Thursday, June 22, 2006
What it is:
A soap dispenser in the shape of the virus that causes the common cold.
Why we love it:
Now, I'm sure everyone who reads the Cool Gift of the Day is absolutely scrupulous about washing their hands frequently... But perhaps you know a person or two, perhaps a very small person, who could use an occasional reminder to keep their hands clean. The best encouragements are the ones that are fun as well as useful, and this little soap dispenser is definitely fun. It may look like a cute, cuddly little blue monster, but in reality it's the Rhinovirus (that's the common cold for those playing at home), blown up to a million times its normal size. What better reminder of why to always wash up then the very little beastie who you may catch if you don't? It's half fun and half science, a completely fabulous combination.
