Put something different on the "cats" and they'd make good house-elves from Harry Potter. :) I dunno. Put something different on the “cats” and they’d make good house-elves from Harry Potter. :)

For larger feet the crafter could use Depends. To which I say, "Pizzonem". Referring to the MaxiPad slippers: This is ‘really and for seriously’ bloody awful.

I've seen this gift with my own eyes. You take 2 pads and sticky side them together and 1 pad goes between the sticky bottoms to cross over the top. The worst thing was not that the slippers are made out of pads but that the purveyor of the pad slippers took time to hot glue ribbon and a twisted rope thing along with some cheap jewels to the "slippers". Talk about a cheap way out of gift giving!! That's even worse than a former acquaitance who would give used Bath and Body works stuff. Oh I tried this and didn't like it (but I left it sitting in a window for 3 years to decompose first) so Happy Birthday!

I didn't see that reflected in the item's description, otherwise I would not have included it in the first place. At any rate, I have removed that one. I have a 3-year-old myself, and his popsicle-stick picture frame currently occupies pride of place on my fridge. Aw, seriously?

I'm highly in favor of competent crafting, and when my husband was in nursing school, we got through several Christmases by giving away lot of crochet and framed calligraphy. It's the godawful variety I'm not so crazy about; fortunately, most people have the good taste to self-regulate on that. The poncho sounds really cute!
