Crazy Cat Lady Action Figure
If you know of a cat lady, or someone who really loves cats, then this gift may be for them as much as it is for you. It even comes with 6 teeny tiny cat figurines. What’s more, the cat lady action figure is poseable so that it can interact with the cats. This almost life-like figurine even comes complete with crazed eyes to capture the zeitgeist of those cat ladies you see lingering below your block.

All you need for this handmade present is an empty jar filled with some of your partner’s favourite candies or chocolate.
