Let your monsters make your monster pendant

We love the Metal for Monsters pieces at Blend Creations so much, we were delighted to hear that they've expanded the line: Now you can design your own monsters, or--better yet--let the kids design one for you and Blend will laser-etch their design right on the pendant including a signature or inscription on the back.

You could also supply a thumb print, or pretty much anything, making this a really cool personalized gift. And $16 from each pendant goes directly to UNICEF.

I'm not telling you what to do, lurking dad readers...I'm just saying that some signed, wearable art would be a nice little keepsake for Mom under the tree this year. -Mir
