How badly do I want these adorable puffy medical stickers? Pretty bad, it turns out. Also, check out these and these on Etsy, which, more and more, is expanding from handmade to just good stuff all around, including vintage and hard-to-find stuff from abroad.

Posted: Monday, March 1st, 2010
Hello Kitty is not just cute, but she’s got brains, too. Even better, those brains are edible, made from delicious chocolate and wrapped in pretty pink foil. Yummy. One of the commenters from this post on Hello Kitty Hell argues that that isn’t actually a brain coming from Hello Kitty’s head, but rather a giant Easter egg, but we like brains better, of course. {Thanks, Tristy!}
Doctor’s Orders
Posted: Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009
They’re stocking candy canes at the grocery store, and our local Bed Bath & Beyond’s got plush singing rabbis (I’m not making this up), so that must mean the holidays are near. Gearing up for the holiday season before Thanksgiving fills me with disgust, but being the gut-monger I am, I suppose I must jump aboard the holiday retail bandwagon and remind you to check out our Gutsy Gift Guide. It’ll tell you what to buy if your best friend is getting a mammogram, or just the thing for your diabetic brother. There’s even a sebaceous gland lapel pin for that diligent cosmotologist who got rid of all those zits for ya. Our handy list will help you find just what the doctor ordered for that marvelous nurse, amazing pediatrician, or that special medical student in your life. So take two lapel pins and call us in the morning.
What a Pill
Posted: Wednesday, October 7th, 2009
Taking your medicine isn’t exactly exciting, but with the introduction of Power Pill, a new iPhone game to be released later this year, it might be a tiny bit more fun. You are in charge of getting this pill through your guts, but if you bump into the stomach or intestines on the way, you destroy them (that’s one powerful pill, I say). The graphics are pretty darned cute, and we like the faux ad for the mysterious cure-all pill — called Medicil RX — which “goes in your mouth” for “relief of symptoms.” {via CreativeApplications.net. Thanks Dom!}

Sew Darn Cute
Posted: Wednesday, February 11th, 2009
I cannot resist the adorable wares at Loyal Army, they truly make the cutest stuff on earth, and now they have a cute heart trapped inside a ribcage. How I wish we had financial backing like they must have — they’ve got a huge range of stuff — allover print hoodies, kids stuff, etc. etc. Seeing such cute stuff is good for anyone obsessed with putting faces on inanimate objects. But I digress. You’ll be seeing even more and more from them this year, especially since they signed a licensing deal with the big boys.
Getting Sick is So Fun!

If you’ve got the bug that’s been going around, watch this adorable Korean animation about getting a cold and you’ll instantly feel much better. What could be cuter than a happy flu shot?
Making Hospitals Better
Posted: Tuesday, October 7th, 2008
Just got my greasy mitts on Graphics Alive, a design book filled with wonderful art and illustrations from the world of graphics, fashion and art. Within its pages, a fabulous quote from Simone Legno, the illustrator for Tokidoki: “Hospital rooms, especially the branches where kids are, should be decorated with cute characters, positive colors, everything would give them a smile or strength to spend in a better way thier hard moments.” He’s right! It got us thinking about how cool it would be to decorate children’s hospital rooms with artwork from peeps like Tokidoki, Friends With You, Tado, and yes, our guts, a la the Volkswagen/Hotel Fox project in Copenhagen, where each room is transformed into a happy world. Anyway, if anyone wants a hospital room splattered with I Heart Guts, we wanna do it! Drop us a line…
