Our stuffed skunk is appreciated in England

We love it when our happy customers get back to us and tell us what they like. Here's one from England:

Hi! The skunk arrived shortly after I mailed you! It is great! It will make a lovely present, thank you very much! I will recomend you as skunks are becoming quite popular here as pets and stuffed toys are still quite hard to find. Both the quality and service have been very good.

This disgusting stuffed animal is a maggot! Well, I think it's disgusting, but my assistant made me do it! We bought some stuffed maggots to add to our gift shop.

Animal Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders due for extinction?

Our popular giraffe eyeglass holders (Peeper Keepers) are going fast. For the past few years, these amusing animal eyeglass holders (the giraffes and over 40 other styles) have been extremely popular as Christmas and Hanukkah gifts. This may be the last year for some of the styles unless another vendor picks them up. That's right, they are being phased out! If you want to give animal Peeper Keepers this year, it may be a good idea to buy early to insure you get the ones you want. This is not a marketing ploy. Some styles are running low and may be gone before December. See and order the peepers here!

Stuffed plush chinchilla

One of our most popular stuffed animals this year has been this adorable lifelike chinchilla. Made by Hansa, it has all of the realistic details you expect from this maker of high-quality stuffed animal toys. Collectors and kids alike love Hansa animals. In our showroom, we've learned that both children and adults are attracted to the realism and character built into every one of Hansa's hand-made stuffed animals. They are designed based on real living specimens, and for that reason each has the character and features of a living animal. They're made in small quantities. The fur and is designed and dyed just for each animal type, and several unique styles of fur are put together to make each animal. For instance, the tail fur of this chinchilla is long and is designed and made separately from the fur of the feet, which is short. Finally, hand stitching and a bit of color are added to complete each lovable animal character.
