This item must be included on a list somewhere titled "How to Look Like a Crazy Lady." The Oh Deer headband from Etsy’s Pretty Good Things has a small fawn (think Bambi) curled up on a fuzzy little circle placed off center on the band.
The effect could be called cute, but will more likely elicit laughter. I could be wrong, though. The Oh Deer headband wearers pictured here look awfully happy with their headwear.
