This mobile charm is perfect for Easter. Well, perfect for Easter if you hate Easter, and want to scare kids with the dead bunny charm hanging off of your mobile. Etsy seller LA Plush and Stuff is selling the Bunny Cell Phone Charm, which probably isn't as charming as a rabbit foot.
Come to think of it, rabbit feet are pretty freakish too. If there's such a thing as luck, it doesn't seem likely that dismembered rabbit parts would be involved in bringing it about.
