Sometimes I browse Amazon looking for cool things to write hubs about, but I always find the best stuff when I'm not purposefully trying to find it. These Crane Adorable Humidifiers are literally "adorable" because that's their product name *g*

It's probably getting late in the season to buy a humidifier -- I usually only need to run one in the winter -- but I think these would make some really cute baby shower gifts!

Each of these humidifiers holds 1 gallon of cold tap water and delivers cool mist to the room as soon as you turn it on, and they turn themselves off when they run out of water.

With Ultrasonic operation they should be very quiet to run, much quieter than the ones my mother used to run in our room every winter!

It's a tough call which is my favorite here -- the Frog or the Elephant. They are both ridiculously cute.

But who can resist a cute penguin? This little guy in his blue suit has brought a little arctic cold mist with him.

That'll do, pig! You can bring this piggie home from the market and he'll make sure your kids get a good night's sleep.

Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea.... okay, am I the only one who thinks that song has some ulterior meaning? *g*

Don't leave this cow moseying along in the paddock, when he could be on your children's nightstand keeping the room comfortable all night long.

In addition to their own set of adorable figures, Crane also does humidifiers in the shape of Thomas the Tank Engine, Hello Kitty and Spongebob Squarepants.

Personally, I don't think they are nearly as cute as the set of animal humidifiers, and they are also $5 more expensive than the other ones, but if you have a kid who loves one of the characters, then clearly this would be the way to go.

Crane also makes some sports series humidifiers, shaped like Footballs, Soccer Balls, etc., but it doesn't look like Amazon carries them, so you might want to try Target.
