I could watch these guys dance all day. Actually, I have one on my desk just bopping away right now. Solar Powered Mr. Penguin and Mr. Snowman are simply mesmerizing. They are
adorable, festive, and (since they're solar powered) easy. No annoying plugs or batteries. They have adhesive on the bottom so you can peel and stick them to your car dashboard. Or,
avoid the stick, and just stand them on the fireplace mantle, or anywhere else a fun decoration belongs. These are the perfect stocking stuffer. At this price you can afford to stuff a lot of
stockings, so spread the joy.
