Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
An adorable little stuffed toy... And deadly assassin!
Why we love it:
What can we say, the site that sells these little guys refers to them as "adorably ominous" and that's about right. We can imagine them in pitched battles with tiny, cuddly pirates (the natural enemy of the ninja), or perhaps sneaking stealthily across a bedroom to silently attack your toes in the night (they are very small, toes are a good start). They are not, perhaps, the most deadly assassins available to you, but they certainly are the cutest, and since you're unlikely to be going up against any really dangerous foes, they'll probably be all the defense one could need. A wee ninja might be just the thing for a kid who needs to fend off the monsters under the bed, but hey, we might even like one ourselves, so don't just relegate this gift to the kid's table. We could all use some cuddling and some defending from time to time.
