Now that’s a nice idea, a mirror with a printed chart with the names and height of a lot of famous people on it – actors, athletes, singers… With the idea behind the product being that you can easily measure how tall are you and at the same time see which celebrity’s height matches yours or which ones are shorter and taller than you. So what are you waiting for get this cool mirror and start measuring your height on a daily basis, no that there is need for that, but it is still cool. You should also know that this mirror is a real attention grabber, when you have guests at home they’ll surely what to measure who tall are they.

Among the tallest ones in the mirror (190-200cm) you’ll find names such as the actor Dolph Lundgren, the former basketball player Michel Jordan, David Hasselhoff or John Cleese. You’ll probably be amazed that even Abraham Lincoln was quite tall, as is Clint Eastwood and even the rapper Snoop Dogg is over 190 centimeters. Or did you know that Sheryl Crow, Sarah M Gellar, Chrisitina Aguilera, Danni & Kylie Minogue and even Dolly Parton all fall below 160 cm.

If you are looking for a fun and really addictive gadget for a gift this is the perfect choise given the upcoming holidays are quite close.
