This little guy is allegedly saying ‘panda’ in Japanese, but if there’s anything I’ve learned from Hanzi Smatter, it’s that I will never blindly trust a translation of a language I don’t speak. If you’re more trusting than I am, or you speak/read Japanese you can buy this shirt for $25-ish at Hot Topic.
I must admit, the red glasses do make him quite endearing.
I am absolutely in love with Bobsmade.com, a German artist’s website. For a very reasonable fee (usually less than $150 USD) you can get a hand painted, customized piece of functional artwork! They customize everything from shoes to glasses to headphones. Obviously, it’s custom so you can choose anything you’d like but check out their adorable previously painted pandas!
Also, they have freebies. Here’s a cute iPhone/iPad panda background!
Shirt.woot! has this cute design (along with a bazillion others) available for $15 and free shipping.
Poor little guy!
Paige Thompson has some wonderful photographs on her DeviantArt site. In particular her collection of animal inspired lipstick, Animal-ipstick, is amazing. Of course I’m biased and adore the panda ones – especially the shocked panda! – but they’re all interesting.
While I think these shorts are cute (and the panda a little creepy, to be honest) I don’t think they’re cute enough to warrant 19, yes NINETEEN, pages of photos of women walking around China wearing them. So, I’m going out on a limb here and saying that this is some sort of weird fetish…
Interesting take on wildlife conservation, ha!
From the HomeStarRunner website:
Pistols for Pandas is the fictitious wildlife organization responsible for putting handguns in the paws of underprivileged and unarmed pandas. Show your support for this just cause by purchasing this quality 100% cotton t-shirt. These shirts feature the Pistols for Pandas logo on the front and the quote “They need all the firepower they can get” on the back. Comes in Adult sizes Small through Triple Extra Large and Ladies Medium and Large.
Get yours for only $15-$19 here.
I was at Old Navy earlier today and saw these adorable panda jammies for kids. Too bad they don’t come in adult sizes or I’d be sporting a rocking panda to bed! Only $14.95 (or $11 if you buy two or more) at Old Navy.
I also saw these cute little guys at the checkout counter, but they aren’t available online. I think one of these guys and a set of jamming jammies would make a wonderful gift for any little one in your life.
This shirt (from shirt.woot! which is an awesome place to find tons of cute shirts for $15 a piece) made me say ‘Awwww’ out loud in the middle of my lab/office. My labmates looked at me like I was an idiot, but who could resist this?! Needless to say, I placed an order…
$15 from shirt.woot!
Detailed version after the cut…
I saw this baby sleep suit over on BabyGadget (which I oddly check on a regular basis despite having no children), and I can’t really top their commentary on it:
Babies respond to simple black and white forms, so clearly the panda evolved on purpose to feature on newborns’ accessories. Fortunately, the result makes grown ups coo at the cuteness as much as the babies gurgle at the Big! Visible! Shapes! I mean, look at that heart-shaped nose, for one thing.
Available on Not on the High Street for £26 ($42 USD). Luckily they ship internationally!
Reader G_G left a link to the most amazing hat/scarf combo ever! It’s available from ModCloth (no surprise there, they have tons of amazing stuff), unfortunately all this amazingness comes with a hefty price tag of $118! I think it’s a perfect splurge for Black Friday, don’t you? Though, with a little effort and faux fur you could probably make something similar for a fraction of the cost.
