Well, it’s cute, but apparently made for adults?  I’m trying to decide what marketing company decided that a “Cute as a bug…” hair dryer was a good idea?  It came in a box made to look like grass with flowers growing around it.  Tacky?  Yes.  Cute?  Yes.

It made me giggle, and I didn’t feel like searching more, so I am now the proud owner of a Bugg Travel Dryer.  The test will be tomorrow to see how it works…
