The guy who writes the Magic Ketchup blog must get a lot of ‘cute’ gifts from friends, since ‘cute’ is precisely what he looks for in a knickknack. His friend wasn’t sure what constituted cute when he bought these salt and pepper shakers, but they passed. Magic Ketchup guy says: “Otherwise, it’s perfect—the characters show nearly no signs of emotion and high intelligence.” I believe that this is a good way to categorize things that are cute. Emotion captured in a knick knack turns into insincerity and cheesiness when you stare at it too long.
