Looking for a truly unique addition to your Christmas decor or a special gift? How about a reindeer decorated by Meat Loaf or the members of Alexisonfire?

Virgin Mobile Canada has enlisted dozens of celebrities to put their personal touch on a collection of reindeer (inflatable, not real) that are being auctioned for charity on eBay.

Among those lending their artistic talents are Virgin Group CEO Sir Richard Branson, music mogul Pharrell Williams, emo rockers Panic! At the Disco, and Canadian acts like Buck 65 and Billy Talent.

Proceeds will support Virgin Unite, a charitable organization that funds social and environmental issues and programs in several countries around the world, including Canada.

The reindeer that gets the highest bid will be declared the “most famous” reindeer or all.

“We’re taking the reins this holiday season and bringing together people from around the world to support Virgin Unite and those less fortunate,” says Branson. “To do that, we’re having a bit of fun and challenging Canadians to think beyond Rudolph and support a reindeer that will become famous in more ways than one.”

Videos posted on eBay and other sites will give fans a look at the creative process behind the personalization of the reindeer. There is also one 20-foot-tall reindeer up for bid.

To place a bid, visit ebay.com/virginunite.

Well I was surfing ebay and wanted to see if they added anything new reindeer....wished they would have painted them though

Compared to the initial picture of the reindeer, it has been painted.

Meat appears to have added all the spots and what not. The initial picture shows a plain brown bodied one.

I was kinda interested in this so I asked them what the postage costs would be to the uk, between $60 - $160 depending on how it's shipped.

And there was me thinking it was a blow-up reindeer.

Postage from the US to the UK is VERY expensive. To ship one CD costs sometimes $18.- and up...and that's just a CD.

So there's no point any of us UK'ers bidding on it really then :shock:

Well, if one can afford it...why not? I was just addressing Michael's post about postage...

Uk'ers could always bid and then find a friendly US based forum member to have it delivered to and I'm sure they could the arrange to ship said Reindeer to the UK for cheaper than $60

I think ignoring it is a very good idea and everyone should just do that.

...who isn't the highest bidder! Oh no! *innocent face*

Ok, someone had to ask... the deer fully blown up, measures..

nose to tail.. 4'.6"
hoof to top of antler.. 6'

Something to consider, if you want to display it. I thought they would be quite a bit smaller, than they actually are.
