What's the cutest thing in the world?

I'm looking for a birthday present for a friend and am a little bit stuck. I want the cutest, most adoreable thing possible; my only condition is that it not be alive - no puppies or baby chicks. Any ideas?

If she's one of the millions who are obsessed with the Nintendo Animal Crossing games, you can't beat these Animal Crossing plushes.

Male or female? How old?

I think Ugly Dolls are teh cuteness. They just came out with 50.00 ones.

After much research on the website, cutestthingever.com, I can only assume you will need at least seven dozen small dogs wearing outfits.

Monster Factory monsters are cuter than Ugly Dolls.

Kidrobot has a fine selection of cute and "cute" toys.

This thread has just reminded me of something...

Parapluesch [flash] is the cutest site ever, a mental hospital for cuddly toys where you can play therapist.
And you can buy them too. This may not be quite so good if you haven't played the game, but a "plush crocodile with paranoid psychosis" is cute anyway.

This in turn has reminded me that pretty much everything from My Paper Crane is incredibly cute.

Does said friend like dogs? The Dog has the greatest calenders, in every breed imaginable. They really capture the adorable awkward puppyness of each breed.

As mentioned above, while on the surface they might not seem cute, in person, Ugly Dolls are cute squared, there's just something about them.

I checked out the Cutestthingever link, and I have an idea. They have a shop where they have shirts that say "Cutest Thing Ever". Maybe you can get your friend a shirt or something, and she can actually BE the cutest thing ever when she wears it?

Cute Overload's product cuteness - my favorites are the Walkie Bits turtles.

I think the Bunny of the Month animals are terribly cute and fairly original too, although they may not be everyone's taste.

Visit Pancake Meow and pick a few of Leslie's incredibly realistic scented clay edible jewelry items. I have seen (and sniffed) her stock in person and it is astonishing! How she gets clay to have little bubbles like baked cake is one of the world's cutest mysteries.

Anne Geddes is disturbing, not cute.
