Those already missing Halloween or gearing up again for next year will fall in love with this anatomical pair of bookends. In line with millennials' current love of zombies, these concrete objects are designed to look like brains.
The two hemispheres work together to support a stack of books on a dresser, shelf or cabinet. The gray matter squirms around the pair of bookends, with intricate details and even an anatomically correct cerebrum.
Made by Lyon Betton, these make a good gift for a young boy, a science geek or any avid reader who needs something to organize their novels with. With books full of information between each half, it's only fitting that brains surround all that knowledge.
