The doctor is in.
It’s not every year that the nation’s top infectious disease expert gets memorialized in ornament form. Then again, it’s been no average year. This holiday find serves as a lil’ reminder of 2020’s unlikely celebrity, Dr. Anthony Fauci. And since it’s vintage-inspired glass, it’ll add a little sparkle to the tree while it’s at it. We’d tell you it makes for a timely gift, but you probably figured that out already.

Skin tone is all wrong
Quality of the ornament is nice and I love the concept, but the color of the skin is all wrong (way too dark) and not at all like the photo shown. I purchased two of these and the skin color is much more tan on both which makes this not look like Dr. Fauci at all!
Remember 2020
I got an ornament for each person in my pod so we would never forget our time together. The ornament is larger than I thought it would be and feels like a good weight. Very happy with how well it resembles the Doctor.
Love it! A lifetime memory.
This was obviously a popular item. I had to wait because he kept going out of stock. Worth the wait.
