A gift that arrives every month

Prickly’s letters make a lovely Christmas present: something to open on Christmas Day, and then a new letter every month after. Or, for something festive, his Christmas letters are three woodland adventures leading up to Christmas Eve, sent together in one cosy package.

“My nephew lives several states away. He loves the new addition of Prickly and learning about his adventures. My sister sends me videos of how excited he is to check the mail.”

“When the real one came, we had a little tea party of our own and placed it next to the teapot. She was thrilled, and went straight off to draw pictures back.”
