If you are really into Mad Men, you are going to want to order Don Draper finger puppets from Etsy right away. Designed and created by user abbeychristine, the Don Draper felt finger puppet is the perfect caricature of the advertising exec. The puppet is so typically Don wearing a suit, holding an old fashioned and smoking a cigarette.

The Etsy shop owner makes a variety of other pop culture inspired finger puppets, from comedians like Tina Fey, Louis CK and Steve Martin to Wes Anderson characters including Steve Zissou and the Royal Tenenbaums.
