GiFT iDEAS // PUGLiE PUG

Two posts in one day? What's happening?! So I've been absent for awhile because lets face it, I'm working ALL the time and I can't complain because I love getting to work on all sorts of different projects but it leaves little time for much else and I need sleep every now and then. We finally have a lot of projects closer to being done at our house and I've been putting my rainbow toy wall back up. I will post better photos of that soon. I've also been sharing behind the scenes stuff on my snapchat : loveoftoys.

So why all the posts all of a sudden? Well I finally have some time so I want to start posting some fun products for the holidays. I will be pinning more as well on my Pinterest account.  

I've never had a small dog, in fact my husky Ash is the only dog I've owned other than cats. Now I live with my boyfriends weird little creature who can't fit her tongue in her mouth...and it's hilarious, she's hilarious. So I guess it's mandatory to own lots of products with pugs on them when one decides to own one of these funny little creatures. Some of the cutest pug illustrations I found recently are by Puglie Pug. I picked up this pizza pug pillow from Redbubble and you can get all kinds of other products with the artwork on it. All the products I have from Redbubble have been really well made and printed if you're someone interested in having your own artwork printed on something.

 

 

Have a wonderful night!

TOY : DREAM BiG FRiENDS

Happy Monday everyone! The weekend before Thanksgiving I attended one of my favorite conventions, Designer Con. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a toy and art convention mostly focusing on the designer toy world. I’m going to share more from the convention over the next few days but I first up is the Dream Big Friends now on Kickstarter. 

“After watching their own kids play, David Horvath and Sun Min (Award Winning Designers of Uglydoll) began a discussion with Klim Kozinevich (Creative Director of Bigshot Toyworks) and wondered; what if there was more? The worlds of princesses and pixies, fashion models and super heroes are all fantastic, but something was missing. The trio set out to create a unique personality in a small plastic body, focusing on aspirational, inspirational and imaginative play. Something that would encourage kids around the world to embrace what makes them who and what they are, inside and out. With all that in mind, Yuna was born!

Yuna is the very first doll in an all new line called Dream BIG Friends. She's also the first Asian American girl to be the center of a doll line! She loves science, travel, rockets, art, design, and Korean food. Her BIG dream is to run a company designing rockets that will one day take her to Mars. She'll be the first one to stand on the planet's surface, naturally. With your help, she’s sure to get there.November 20th  (that's TODAY!) heralds the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for Dream BIG Friends, where you can invite Yuna and her cat Kamata into your home. There have been many discussions about body types and unrealistic proportions and attitudes imposed through children's toys these days. David, Sun Min and Klim wanted their first doll, and all of her friends, to feel like very real characters, complete with rich backgrounds and boundless potential...  Avatars for your imagination. Made with high quality materials and built to last, our BIG Dream is that one day far from now, your kids will share Yuna with their kids. Yuna will be making her first appearance at DesignerCon November 21 and 22 in Pasadena, CA at the Bigshot Toyworks Booth #901.Spread the word... and Dream BIG with Us!“
