An old Russian favorite is making a comeback in time for the jolly holidays in the form of matryoshka dolls. The various dolls that stack inside one another are now available with a cute DIY twist: you can paint them however you please. This makes for the ultimate customizable holiday present.
Exercise your creative abilities by painting your family members on each of them or even your favorite rockstars (maybe David Bowie?) on the surface.
These little DIY matryoshka dolls are available at Toronto's hotbed for culture, the Drake Hotel in the Drake General Store.
