Avast ye scurvy neckwear!
Right in time for Halloween, I stumbled upon this most adorable skull and crossbones scarf at Admiral Road, made out of the same soft, cozy fleece as their personalized fleece blankets. I can imagine that even the most difficult, scarf-eschewing kids wouldn't mind wrapping their necks in this little guy and heading out for a day of apple picking or pillaging small seaside villages.

It's loooong - like 60" long, so it's probably best for bigger kids. Or maybe you? At just 12 bucks, get one for both of you. (Just don't wear them at the same time.)

While you're on the site, check out the adorable selection of treasure tees for kids. It's not a totally new idea to have a toy behind vinyl floating over an illustration, although they're quite affordable and done well. What a great little niece/nephew holiday gift.

Yes, holiday gift. It will be here before you know it.  -Liz
