Okay, have you heard of the Matryoshka dolls? You know, that wooden doll that opens up to a smaller version of that doll that opens up to an even smaller version… Some of you might call them “Babushka”, or simply Russian wooden nesting dolls if you prefer the boring sounding stuff. But supposedly Babushka just means old granny, which is a bit odd. PS: I just found out when doing research on this post, like, should I call it Matryoshka or Babushka! BAM!!

This blog post is random I know, but I just find some of those Russian dolls so cute that I thought I’d share them with you. Because that’s the kind of person I am. I share weird stuff that I find amusing.

Decorate your own Matryoshka dolls

BLANK has created these awesome 5 pieces Matryoshka dolls (I’m going to be so good at typing that word) that you can then decorate or paint or draw on yourself. And give them as a gift, if you’re nice. Personally, I think that it’s a very cute and creative gift idea! What do you think?

Just because I love getting inspired, here’s an example from their website:

Matryoshka measuring cups

Oh Fred & Friends, you sure know how to make good home and kitchen products! Sometimes, when I’m not thinking properly, you make me think that maybe I should start cooking and stuff. But nah, not gonna happen still. For those who love cooking and baking though, this one’s for you: M-Cups Measuring Matryoshka from Fred.

Minimalist and simple, but so very useful (if you love baking). And they come in two colours! Oh how pretty. I want one even though I don’t fancy the kitchen much.

Novelty ninja and other wacky Matryoshka dolls

So, soon enough you’ll probably realise that my blog is filled with totally random novelty gifts and wacky products that no one would probably buy but are interesting enough to be laughed at or at least admired from afar… Yes? (That was one long sentence.)

Well yes. I do love novelty gifts. In fact, one of the joys of buying gifts is to buy a random novelty item that would make the receiver laugh or ponder or just plain wonder why their friends would buy them such ridiculous gifts!

Here’s one of those gifts: Ninja Matryoshka dolls (and many others from Matryoshka Madness)!
