As we get older, our lives become way more hectic, meaning there often aren’t enough hours in the day to do all the things we’d like to do. Some stuff inevitably falls by the wayside, including the ability to spend 24/7 hanging out with our BFFs. If you don’t get enough time with your best friend or even a partner who has to spend a lot of time away, I’ve got the answer: get a life-sized cardboard cutout of them.
- CardboardCutoutStandees is behind the product. They do what their name implies: they make life-sized cardboard cutouts of, well, whoever you want. Prices start at $49.99 for people up to three feet tall, but they tend to run a lot of promotions like offering 10% off for those who sign up to their mailing list.
- It’s not quite as good as the real thing but it comes close. Sure, a cardboard cutout can’t compare to actually being able to hug, kiss, and laugh with your loved ones, but if you have no other option — perhaps they’re working or studying far away or they’re in the armed forces — it is a great way to keep them close when they can’t be.
- They don’t just do cardboard cutouts of humans. You can even get a cardboard cutout of a dog, cat, or other pet if you’re missing a furry friend who’s no longer around. It might sound a bit morbid but it can be a great comfort to many people.
- If you order yours by noon, you can get it delivered tomorrow! That’s pretty speedy service, plus it means that you’ll definitely have it in time for Christmas. Given what an amazing holiday gift these make, that’s great news – especially for those of us who are a little behind on getting our gifts sorted out this year. You can get yours at CardboardCutoutStandees.com HERE.
