We are always on the hunt for squirrel items, as we love squirrels and so do many of our customers and while at the Gift Show a few months ago, we were taken with these "jungle bookmarks." Of course the juxtaposition of jungle and squirrel was quite the added plus as we are always on the hunt for the silly as well. (the other two in the series were gorillas - okay - and hummingbirds - maybe remotely possible in a jungle.) One of our witty customers suggested perhaps this was a sophisticated reference to the concrete jungle and we had to agree it made a kind of sense. Today, I was sitting at my desk when I heard a muffled snort from the next room where someone was unpacking an order of very cute "wildlife" items. Okay . . . dogs can be kind of wild, especially when you're throwing them sticks or you let them off their leash, but I've always thought of them as really the epitome of the domesticated creature. We hope we'll find more to add to the incongruous collection!
