Mementos of Nature that Make You Smile

Nature’s importance to humanity remains difficult to comprehend entirely. After all, Nature provides us with the basic building blocks that make life thrive. For example, Nature imbues plants with the ability to consume carbon dioxide and to release oxygen. This makes it easy for human beings to respire. Nature provides the seasons and accords each with its unique characteristics. The conducive conditions of the summer make it a joy to be outdoors in the evenings, in the arms of nature. Similarly, cold weather conditions are ideal for relishing from the warmth of one’s home. Each aspect of nature gives us something to enjoy and appreciate. It is unfortunate then, that humanity poses the biggest threat to nature.

Over the past few decades, concern for preserving the environment has taken a prominent position in our lives. We realise the harm caused by the profligacy of fellow human beings. Therefore, everyone tries and contributes towards preserving nature and her bounty. Conservation projects aim to protect the flora and fauna of countries throughout the world. They ensure that future generations will have the opportunity to experience the vividness and rich diversity of nature. They hope that the experiences will not remain confined to reading books, but pertain to reality as well. Several species of birds and animals unfortunately, have become extinct. The efforts of these preservationists will go a long way towards arresting this trend.

In their own way, a group of creative geniuses has sought to bring about an increase in the awareness of preserving the environment. The members of this group are all elites from various walks of life. The common factors that bring these individuals together are a love for nature and a vivid creativity. Their efforts resulted in the growing popularity of those funky gifts called Zuny animals.

Zuny animals are simple, creative and genial designs of leather made home accessories. These accessories take the form of animals such as Abby the Elephant, Bobo II the Dinosaur or Milo the Gorilla. Further, the creations of these genius designers do not function merely as handmade gifts or funky gifts. Instead, they provide immense utility value as well. Therefore, you could use these Zuny animals as doorstoppers or bookends too. You could use some of these handmade gifts as giants, key rings and paper weights too. Therefore, these animals serve as ideal accessories for improving modern home décor. Something about toy animals stirs the child within us. This is precisely why the creative designers of these animals used toy animals to make a big point in a quiet way.

Each Zuny animal – from a door stopper to a giant – emerges from the creative minds of the designer. It also stems forth from the diversity of nature. This is what makes Zuny products so unique. For several decades, many toy manufacturers used mass production methods to market their products. Zuny however, places the focus solely on the fusion of ideas from the designers to the tailors. In short, Zuny focuses on sincerity and handmade processes to create unique animals, with each animal bearing its own characteristics.

You might feel that Zuny animals might be best for kids. However, this is not true. Several adults are avid collectors of the Zuny series of collectibles. Besides, the Zuny range of collectibles is not restricted to a few animals. Instead, it comprises of several animals across three different series. These include:

• The Zuny Series: This collection is perfect for children. It uses the predominantly child-friendly colours i.e. blue and pink for each animal. This makes it perfect for you to choose from this series for gifts for a nursery, a first birthday party etc.
• The Zuny Classic Series: This collection is ideal for enhancing the décor of your house. It includes key rings, doorstops, giants etc. You can choose from this range of animals to place something on your bookshelf or even on the table at your bedside.

Animals in this collection make good designer gifts for presenting to someone. The utility value of these gifts includes use as a coin bank, a key holder, a photo frame, a magnet etc.

Therefore, if you share a concern for the environment and believe in the Zuny spirit, start gifting (and collecting) animals from the Zuny series. In a world dominated by serious and grim faced individuals, it would be nice to spark a smile. Moreover, the best weapon you can use is a Zuny animal.
