Felted Sting Ray

As gift ideas go, a felted sting ray rates pretty high on the "whuh?" scale. Unless you happen to know a miniature Jacques Cousteau, in which case this gift goes from "whuh" to "wonderful." And if you think these little buddies look cute from the top, just check out their undersides...

We never thought we'd say this about a sting ray, but awwww...

Made of 100% natural boiled wool, these fair-trade toys are made by Nepalese craftswomen. (We have to tell you, in the spirit of full disclosure, that these rays were originally intended to be chew toys for dogs, but why should dogs have all the fun?)

Sold individually ($12 for small and $24 for large) or in a set of one large and one small ($36) at Branch.

Perfect timing. My daughter has been completely enamored all day with a baby stingray that she discovered on the Zooborns website. This will be perfect for Christmas.
