Just in time for Christmas, a London-based charity that wants to?raise awareness of testicular cancer?is selling hand-crafted, shiny red ornaments ??in the shape of, well, balls.

The "Bauballs" were created by Matt Robinson and Tom Wrigglesworth of the London-based Fallon advertising agency, who?conceived of the idea while doing pro bono work for the U.K.-based?Orchid Cancer Charity, which is dedicated to fighting male cancers.?"Lots of men don't walk to talk about things like this unless you make it funny," Robinson today TODAY.com.

Similar products benefiting another?U.K. cancer charity,?Everyman, are for sale on Etsy?and have?names such as?"Santa's Sack" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside."?

The charity stunts bring to mind the annual "Movember" tradition, where men grow mustaches to also promote testicular cancer awareness.
