Beyond Pooh: A New Frontier for Plush

I've got some upcoming baby showers this year, and I always see the staples plush toys of Winnie the Pooh and friends. What does a child do with mountains of Winnie the Pooh plush toys? (I'm talking to you, baby Maxwell!)

Well, I've decided not to bury my friend's next child in a mountain of Pooh. (Tehehe...) There's a whole world of plush options out there. I recommend these highly if you want to be sure that nobody's going to get the same baby shower gift as you:

• www.giantmicrobes.com
  Give the gift of plush flesh-eating disease or plush herpes. It's giant plush versions of your favorite (or not) microbes.
  
  
• www.iheartguts.com
  Make sure a newborn baby has enough brains and a big heart with plush internal organs. What can be more cute than a red plush heart or a blue plush brain? What about a plush uretus to remind the baby of it's last 9 months?
  
  
• www.sweet-meats.com
  Want to make sure your child doesn't grow up to be a vegan? How about imprinting the fact that meat is soft and fun (and not murder of innocent animals). You can find delicious tender cuts of plush steak and ribs at this website.

I think that's a good start. I personally have a plush 1UP green mushroom for those moments when walking around and accidentally fall into a bottomless pit.
