Microsoft and custom press company CafePress announced a deal today for Xbox owners to celebrate Cyber Monday: they're letting you put your personal Avatar on an item of your choosing from their selection (water bottles, mugs, t-shirts, etc.). Their today-only 25% off sale is only available to those who spend $50 or more on merchandise by using the code XBCYBER11 at checkout.

It's not the first time a non-Microsoft company has offered up gamers a chance to immortalize their virtual selves on something that's not quite as "interactive." We're secretly hoping that someone out there foregoes the traditional Avatar route and commits some of the freakier get-ups in the Avatar Marketplace to fabric/metal/plastic. Our personal choices? These gems. It'd be like a waking nightmare.

You've seen it. You can't unsee it. Sorry ladies, male Avatars only. (WWE '12's Golddust outfit)
