If you're stuck for a last-minute Christmas present for a loved one, they could do worse than to receive this almost-life-size Homer Simpson replica. His outstretched hand holds a can of beer (you provide a can of your choice) - great if you need a cupholder.

Its maker, Sean Kenney, has been creating things out of little plastic blocks since 1998. His Web site, BrickApple.com, is a wacky journey through his constructions, many of which are inspired by the Big Apple - New York City. He's assembled a lot of urban scenes, and his site is also rife with convertible Beetles, taxis, and other stuff that's an incredible hoot.
