Zuny – a simple and creative design of home accessories made from leather. The prime aim of these products is to “Make your life funny and easy”. In fact, this remains the foremost thought behind each Zuny product. Unlike other designer gifts, automated factories do not manufacture Zuny products en masse. That would hardly be the ideal place for creating some of the world’s most beautiful, handcrafted home accessories. Instead, we believed that Zuny products were fun gifts that could also enhance the interior décor of a house. Hence, we let the creativity and imagination of our designers flourish. The resulting products provide perfect examples of a fusion between art and utility. It is all very well to say that Zuny embodies the idea of “making your life funny and easy”. However, how can an animal possibly enliven life or make a tough day seem easier? We provide the answers.

At the very outset, we give our creative designers complete freedom to come up with an idea that blends in with the Zuny spirit. This creative freedom allows their imagination to take wing and soar. When they come up with an idea that meets all the specifications of the Zuny spirit, we proceed to the next step. During this stage, we brainstorm and come up with characteristics and traits with which we can imbue these products. Many traits do not fit well. However, some are perfectly apposite and even suit the creature. A pure and humanistic handmade process gives form to the creature. Thus comes to life, a new Zuny creation.

However, a Zuny product does not merely represent a toy or an animal only. It also presents immense utility value. Therefore, consider a Zuny door stopper for example. It might appear amusing to have a giraffe or a hippo as a doorstop. However, each doorstop weighs about two kilograms and looks very impressive. Any notions that a classic giraffe doorstop will look out of place in your house, remain baseless. Their practicality and classic design will give your house an aesthetic appeal that remains unique. Purchase one and present it to someone who is planning a housewarming ceremony. The recipient will never forget your gift – or fail to appreciate it.

Besides, we do not offer only doorstops. You can also select key rings, paperweights, bookends and giants. Among the quirkiest Zuny products, key rings are perfect for people of any age, regardless of their personal preferences. They will look just as good on a youngster’s designer handbag as they will suit an elderly person. Complete with a small lanyard, a chrome key ring and a brushed, spring ring, these key rings are also lightweight. This makes them very convenient while traveling. Use these as bag accessories with the spring-loaded ring. Alternatively, you can attach your keys to the chrome ring or tie them with the lanyard too.

Our paperweight range comprises beavers, owls, elephants, dinosaurs and tigers. Each weighs about 250 grams and can certainly lighten up your day at work, even as they prevent your papers from scattering. For people who spend long hours at work, these paperweights can make them smile even at the end of a long day. If you are fond of reading, Zuny bookends are perfect companions with which you can adorn your bookshelves. You can choose from among elephants, dinosaurs, sheep, fish, elephants, giraffes and hippos. Each bookend weighs a kilogram and serves as a small doorstop too.

The Scottish-born American author, John Muir, said, “Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way”. Everyone views Zuny products and animals as being creative gifts. Others view them as fun gifts for friends. However, what makes Zuny animals special is not only the fun and joy they symbolise. Zuny animals came forth because of an inspiration from nature and the environment. By presenting a Zuny animal to someone, you give the recipient something to enhance their interior décor. You also remind them of how precious our planet is. Whoever said that toys were all about fun and games? This is why of all the unique gift ideas anyone may have, a Zuny product remains the most expressive.
