Tidings of Comfort & Joy - Ashton-Drake Holiday 2021

It’s always a swingin’ good time when you see one of our monkey dolls! Falling in love with these cuties is very easy to do, plus you just can’t help but smile when you gaze upon their faces. I have the luxury of seeing our family of monkeys gathered and what immediately comes to mind when I see them is The Monkees theme song. That tune alone puts a bounce in your step and has you singing along.

Like a lot of people who watch really cute dog videos, I am a fan of watching primates of all kinds hold their babies, eat their food s l o w l y, and interact with people. Recently there was a video of a momma monkey that was reunited with her baby, and it was the most heartwarming scene, you couldn’t help but feel for them. And just like a momma with her baby, you can replicate the experience with one of my favorite monkeys, Clementine Needs A Cuddle. She is a Linda Murray creation with RealTouch® vinyl and hand-painted from head to toe. With the most captivating eyes, you just want to pick her up and hold her. Adding to her cuteness is her one-piece outfit and a tiny pacifier.

Milo the Safari Monkey Doll is another one that pulls at my heart strings. His rounded face and lifelike eyes, his adorable safari ensemble – and he comes with a little plush friend! My heart! He is a So Truly Real® monkey doll with RealTouch® vinyl skin with hand-applied mohair which are all features that make him incredibly real and extra snuggly in your arms. His safari look includes a removable vest with a tan jumper underneath, a removable hat with chin strap and hiking. The key is in the details with special stitching on the pockets, a vinyl belt with a metal buckle, and real laces, treads and eyelets on the trendy boots. He is certainly worth bringing home and hugging all day!

 

Let’s be honest, it’s hard to choose favorites from such a wide range of monkeys. When you look at them, their qualities and features are so breathtaking, it would feel like you had a real monkey at home to snuggle with. The care and innovation that goes into creating these monkeys is so meticulous that you almost can’t tell they aren’t real! The details in their faces, from the care of their hand-applied hair, artisans are truly breathing life to each and every little monkey for you to love forever.
