Mother and Baby Hedgehog

A hedgehog and her hoglet, caught mid-cuddle. It is about the size of your palm and it does one thing very well, which is to make somebody go quiet for a second when they open it.

It arrives in its own box with a printed card that reads “You are the sunshine in my day, spreading light in every way” — so it is ready to give without anything else being done to it.

Why we love it

• Boxed and carded, so nothing more is needed
• Small enough for a nursery shelf or a bedside
• Says the thing people find hard to say out loud
• Not pink, not blue, not covered in lettering

Lovely for

• A new mother, which is who it was made for
• A first Mother's Day
• A daughter, from a mother, at any age
• Anyone who has had a hard year and needs telling they are loved

The details

• Resin, 8.5 x 9 x 5.5cm
• Gift box and sentiment card included
• Made in China
