Dear Deer Trophy-Plate at Unsaleable

If, like us, you're holding strong to the antler trend but sometimes (always?) get creeped out by a real skull fragment on your wall, you should check out Dear Deer by Bernhard Grafl. The traditional plaque comes ready to fit your very own "antlers" of branches, flowers, or funky-shaped sticks. In non-violent terms...

"Dear Deer is a pretty ornament and our invitation to your vegetarian outdoor hunting experience."

Dear Deer is available, in either light or twice-stained dark, at Unsaleable for about $40. If you received a passing grade in wood shop though, we're pretty confident you could just make your own.

the worst decorating idea i've seen. better to just have a fake deer's head.

I think the whole "deer head" trend should just die off. This just takes it one step further into stupidity.

I think it's clever and ironic, for rooms with a hint of whimsy. But then, I live in a place where real deer heads/antlers on the wall are not a trend but a ubiquitous eyesore.

Very cool. Then again, I have a real deer head on my wall given to me by a French hairdresser who made me swear to always take good care of it. His name is Sean Preston. And he wears a fly bandanny.

I was bored with the deer head trend before it even started. Please, please let it die. No more traditional deer heads, no more minimalist antlers-only displays, no more ironic, "witty" placements of dear heads, no more vegetarian, "humane" parodies of deer heads. No more, no more, no more!
