I have dozens of leftover skeins of yarn. Iβve been seriously thinking about crocheting a bunch of little anigurumi style animals and dolls to donate to some of our local low income organizations this Christmas.
They were a fad when I was a kid. They came from the store in a little carrier box with air holes in the sides. There was a hay nest in the bottom of the carrier, and a spot to write their name and all. The obscurity of it was just fun. They were more like a gag gift.

But yeah, the pet rock was a fad when I was a kid. I grew up in the country. Rocks were plentiful.
