NYC shop Moss has a sort of creepy novelty idea for those in search of the perfect "too soon" gift: Gone But Not Forgotten finger puppets. The commemorative set includes knit versions of six well known names that died this year: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jesse Helms, Maharishi Maresh Yogi, Yves Saint Laurent, Charlton Heston and Heath Ledger. The puppets portraying those who have passed on will go for 90 bucks, but there are some glaring omissions from the chosen ones...George Carlin, Roy Scheider and Paul Newman, to name a few.
