Gone are the days (thank goodness) when chinless wonders in pith helmets roamed the rapidly fading pink parts of the globe, tanked up on gin and taking pot shots at anything with a big head - which you'd think would have led to more of them shooting each other. This is of course exceptionally good news for the world's wildlife, if not for the purveyors of oversized pith helmets.
At a massive 2.15 metres long (over seven foot long (nose to tail) for imperialists), these Giant Tiger Rugs are a top piece of loungeable silliness. Your Tiger is at home in more places than you can poke a stick at, so here are some suggestions from the I Want That team in the office. In front of the fire place (classic, slightly James Bond meets Lara Croft, but it works); by your bed (lovely on the feet, un-nerving if you tread on its head though); on your bed (brave, quite racy, very much a lurve thaing); on the wall (hyper-kitsch, like it); on the back shelf of the car (oh yes, an über-bling car accessory), the list goes on and on, and then starts getting really weird.
Due to some hang up with sugared cereal we've called ours Toby, but whatever you call yours he's sure to raise a few eyebrows, and quite possibly the hackles of any passing cat. Deeply dippy these Giant Tiger Rugs, a la the super-rare White Tiger, are a huge favourite round here.
