I bought it for my sister as a Christmas gift. A friend of hers in the sixth grade had a stuffed armadillo lamp, and she's always wanted one. I've never found a stuffed armadillo lamp. Truth to tell, I've never looked that hard. But this is nearly as good, amd easliy obtained.
It would be the perfect wedding gift for that "special" couple. Or a graduation gift for someone who's about to be a legacy in his father's old fraternity.
It goes with just about any decor. Armadillos are classic after all.
It looks surprisingly real. People may think there's an armadillo on your patio drinking your beer. Though they will also hold soda cans, or sparkling water or even fruit juice. As my sister prefers Shirazz, which doesn't come in cans, to beer, this is a definite plus.
One could buy four and have them support table legs, or porch pillars. One could buy as many as required and have them clutch fence posts. The effect would be striking. It would certainly get you noticed. All in all I would reccomend Tex the Armadillo for many purposes, including hodling beer cans.
