If snuggling up in front of a roaring fire with your honey (or something akin to a significant other) appeals to you but you're not down with shag carpets or animal fur, then you may want to invest in a Wampa rug. The Wampa rug would also make an excellent gift for that 'Star Wars'-obsessed friend of yours.
The fictional 'Star Wars' character, which gives the Wampa rug its name and likeness, will provide warmth and comfort on chilly nights and plenty of interest from visitors the rest of the year. The Wampa rug retails for $100.
