You can’t knock the stuffing out of these babies
Stressed out, overwhelmed, overworked, under appreciated, over it all, and you just want to break something. Well, luckily for you there are now Dammit Dolls.
The unbreakable, always loving and constantly reassuring doll that dares you to knock the stuffing out of it. Let’s be honest, stress balls are far too primitive and unsatisfying — grab this doll by the legs and smash its head into the wall and get the stress out of you with sophistication.
Dammit Dolls are available in Los Angeles at Fred Segal and the Rose Café, and now they are making their way down to Orange County at Tight Assets and The World Newstand in Laguna Beach.
At just $14.99 each, a Dammit Doll could be the perfect for the person who has everything, except a great day. If you know a stressed out mom, workaholic, or overachiever, a Dammit Doll could be just what they need.
The dolls are available online at https://www.dammitdolls.com, at Tight Assets, 180 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach, and at The World Newstand, 190 S. Coast Hwy., Laguna Beach.
