Rat Stuff - Mouse Gel Clings
I’ve complained often how hard it is to find cute rat and mouse “stuff”. Well, I can usually find things online, but I’ve pretty much never just walked into a random store and saw a cute rat or mouse thing that I just had to have.
Halloween always gets me in a tizzy at work, going through all our halloween decorations, trying to find a rat in there somewhere.
Sadly, when I do find rats they are usually skeezy rats, not cute ones.
Well, yesterday I was flipping through some gel clings at work. Skull. Bat. Pumpkin, cat, mouse, skull, bat.
WAIT! Did I just see a mouse?
I did see a mouse. I found 2 of them actually. And they are even cute in their own way. Not adorable cute, but not skeezy at all. I just HAD to buy them.
They were only $1 a piece, and with my employee discount I got them both for $1.61.
I had no idea where I was going to stick them, since I don’t have any glass in the rat room, and was worried that if I stuck them to the wall they might damage the paint.
Well, before I had left work yesterday I had decided they are going to live in my bedroom with me. Two cute mice living on my bedroom mirror.

I think about a quarter of the ornaments on my Christmas tree growing up had rats or mice in them. You really just need to know where to look!
Have you tried Hallmark and other gift stores? There are a lot of very cute mouse figurines. Not so much with rats (I think it’s the larger size and longer body) but you can find mouse decorations that really are *cute*!
Good luck!

Very tres chic and a good find. It’s funny you should bring up Halloween. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering if you have a Halloween costume. I will watch for it!

Cool!! I can never find anything remotely cute in my area. If there is anything that resembles a rat/mouse it is usually looking pretty scary.
