Wow!! The strawberry is so cute! And the living room bus stops I LOVE!! The skateboard was neat! Loved the air conditioning one and the vending oranges, haha! The one whose ad changed when the guy looked at it was super creepy!!! LOVE that living room one with the green flowery couch! Wish my bus stops looked like that! Just the standard black and gray ones. :(
