Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A replica of the CowParade art exhibit from Chicago, that you can decorate yourself.
Why we love it:
In previous Cool Gifts, we've introduced you to the touring
CowParade, one of the most unusual and fun civic art exhibits in years. We were pleased with the idea of being able to own your own Art Cow, but as always, we wanted more. The miniature versions of the artist's cows were brightly colored and imaginative, full of a sense of fun and whimsy. What could be better than that? Creating your own work of Cow Art, of course. The Paint Your Own Cow kit comes with one undecorated, white resin cow, a paintbrush and a set of six acrylic paints, everything one needs to express their creative bovine urge. As a gift, it presents several options, you can give it as a blank palette for your recipient to express themselves, or you can decorate it as your own original artistic gift.
Who we'd give it to:
Cow fans, Chicagoans, art lovers, creative kids.
Where to get it:
From
Flax Art for a mooingly good $21.00
