HOME/GARDEN

...play this game. And so can you. Put a touch of tropical whimsy on your mantel with this laid-back toucan resting in a banana boat. Imagine a cross between Sam, the Froot Loops pitchbird, and Jimmy Buffet wasting away on his day off. Made from the ubiquitous and pretty-near-indestructible polyresin, the bird measures 9” x 6”, including the banana boat.

Alas, we do, too, and here’s another one—made of foam. Quite realistic-looking due to the weathered color and texture, it has most of its teeth, all of its fissures, and deep, creepy eye sockets. A must-have for the Halloween season, productions of Hamlet and Gothic interior design. Very lightweight so it would also work for macabre indoor volleyball. The flat bottom means it will sit right up on your (actual) desktop as a procrastination deterrent.
