The colored dots that sometime appear on a robot's lips are all natural. I like matching them up in pairs for a special look, as most of a robot's personality is in their lips.
This group consists of four Dot-Lipped charms, each one about 1.5" (4cm) tall. They're all built with cleaned electronic components salvaged from discarded TVs and VCRs using lead-free solder.
Each piece is individually bagged with a suction cup for hanging by your computer (helps prevent crashing). A 7mm jump-ring is included for use as a necklace from your chain (turns heads in the IT department). You'll also get four gift cards, making these robots great little surprises for you favorite computer geeks.
A Girl Geek codes, works in a lab, or collects data in the field. She prefers playing WoW to shoe shopping, wears molecular structure earrings rather than a tennis bracelet, and would love to have genetically-engineered glowing kitten. She finds traditional girly gifts clichéd and boring. So what do you get for her? Whether she's your girlfriend, your sister, your lab partner your mom - or even yourself - GGG will help you find just the right gift.
