Cubebot Wood Robot

Robot toys are usually made of plastic and require batteries - but not this one! Inspired by the Japanese Shinto Kumi-ki puzzles, the Cubebot designed by David Weeks is a non-traditional take on the toy robot by joining ancient Japanese traditions with contemporary toy culture. Material: sustainably harvested Cherry Wood. Dimensions: 9.5 inches tall with 13.5 inch arm span (at play); 3.5 x 3.5 inch cube (at rest). Cubebots's powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses, and his elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs gives him robot durability. When it�s time for him to rest, he folds into a perfect cube (actually you will have to help him). An enduring classic that will withstand generations of play. Recommended for ages 12+

Gorgeous cat calendar

This is one of the most gorgeous cat calendars we have ever seen. Very eye-catching. In fact, there's a copy gracing one of the walls in our Soft and Cozy office as we type this.

Plus, the money raised by calendar sales goes to a charity, the Marley Fund, that helps prevent the spread of feline leukemia and feline FIV.
