    Looks like there's MRSA and common cold ones. Nothing tells your loved one how much you love them like a nice stuffed animal norovirus germ or MRSA.

    The noro and rota ones I find mildly amusing, if a little weird.

    The cancer one? Pfffft.... Errr, I got nothing....

    The big question is are they an appropriate gift? "I gave you norovirus for Christmas?!"

    I love them! I bought a similar thing for my best friend at the time for Christmas one year!

    My mother and I also bought a stuffed cancer cell for a friend who has cancer. She absolutely adores it to this day and brings it to every chemo session she has.

    It does sound like a gag gift sort of thing.

    Sorry for the double post, I had to add the thing about the cancer toy. As gag gift as it might be, some people just have that kind of sense of humour, lol! Our family friend absolutely loves her cancer toy, she's named it, everything. I know a lot of people who'd be offended and that's fine, but I also think for some, it's a cute, comforting gift

    There are also some really gross ones that I find amusing too, like a poop and pee set that Michelle (JadeNight) and I want to buy and split up

    Lol! Is that really for real? I would have never thought someone would come up with this. I wanna say it's cute, but I dont think i would be able to buy one. Im too much of a "omg thats gonna jynx me" type of person.

    I have got swine flu, the common cold and a white blood cell. :P I seem to get one every year as a gift! They are very cute though.

    In the inappropriate levity department, I know someone who had surgery for breast cancer and she made up an "Intel Inside" label to say "Tumor Inside" and stuck it on her breast. The surgeon was really mad until he learned the patient had done it herself.
