These guys are soooo cute! I want one!
I would love to win because it’s so cute!
Why do I want one? Because it’s basically the cutest thing ever!
Oooh – I need to get one of those for my daughter. Very neat.
I would love to collect such an natural and clean toy for my child and the print would look great in the baby’s room.
I would love to win one of these guys. I am so utterly charmed by them. And their debut just happened to fall on my birthday! How fun.
Oh this is so much fun! My daughter loves little creatures- especially when you can’t tell what kind of a creature it IS. Consider me entered!
These are absolutely wonderful pieces of art. Thank you for introducing this. We have a baby on its way and it would be so wonderful for his/her to have a sustainably produced and artfully designed “toy”.
PecanPal is very cool. Please to have one?
PecanPals are so cute and clever. I have many small friends for him (her?) if I win one. I also love the print. I have the perfect spot for it in my bedroom!
I’d love to win one to give to my soon to be born niece or nephew so that they can learn to appreciate 1) eco sense 2) cuteness
Because Pecanpals are so COOL! What a fantastic way to inspire your artist!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! Such a well-crafted, beautiful toy and print would look great in our new house – we move at the end of the month!
This is just too cute AND creative. Its a great piece by itself and it’s is a great way to influence and persuade others to buy eco-friendly toys!
cute pecanpal….perfect for my perfect for our future baby!
I love having unique items to place in my house. Especially when they’re eco-friendly and contain a special story to tell people. This piece is adorable and I would love to display it in my home!
this will be the best mother’s day gift..is as cute as my mum…
OMG- so cute!
love the work, love the idea, the design, the process, graphics,
love life!
i like the apron and walking stick.
I love the Pecanpals inhabit Carrara Island ,this is just too cute! I have the perfect place and I know when the kids see it they will love it also. Adorable and a story too,wow!
Thanks
We have a lot of hazelnuts in Oregon my friend but not enough pecans pal.
And our newborn Isadora would love to meet one and make it her little buddy.
I would be thrilled to win a Pecanpal toy and print to surprise my little girl for her birthday. She is a huge fan of all things foresty and collects little creatures (like her Mama) so this would be a lovely surprise. I think the display box is amazing too. What a special treasure. Thank you for the amazing giveaway!
These are absolutely wonderful! My daughter will flip fo rhtem. They are so perfectly riding the line of cute and quirky that totally speaks to my daughter who thinks bats are “soooooo cute!”
I grew up eating pecans off the ground of my grandfather’s farm, what’s more perfect then having a toy made out of wood from a pecan tree!?
Inspiration set arent they. The poster goes on my youngest daughters wall, but greed abound Pecanpal Fanelli come to place on my desk. Put a smile on my face every time I see it.
oh these are such cute little sustainable creatures
I hope I can win one
OMG those things are so cute. How can you not be in a good mood with one of those sitting next to you?! Love it.
I would love to win a pecanpal because they are the cutest thing I have seen in a long time, my husband collects collectables and I would love for him to have a cute collection for once, and I love eoc friendly toys…my nieces will be jealous and will want them for their b-days.
My kids would love this!
I love them, I need one!
I just came across your website and loved all of these great ideas on sustainability and being green. Now I’m subscribed to your newsletter, going to pick up recycling bins at my city building this weekend, and hopefully going to win PecanPal to put on my windowsill as a daily reminder to take my cloth grocery bags with me for the day, urge my family and friends to be more green, and read up on how new and existing technologies that could help our environment.
Want, need …. drool! I tend to go nuts over any wooden toy!
These really are precious. Every fall, my daughter and I collect acorns to make acorn bread, and she would adore having a sweet pal to take along for the adventure. My younger daughter would of course also help take care of their new “baby.” My husband has a few “action figures” he takes on trips with him when he travels. I would love it if Fanelli could go along! As I have very bad allergies, I can’t have pets, so Fanelli would be a happy new member in our home, very much loved.
Lots of reasons, but mostly, just such a creative, wonderful, natural new friend to bring home would be such a joy!
All the best to whomever wins!
what a lovely toy!….pretty please.
I would like to win a Pecanpal Fanelli and print for my daughter because not only is she is a beautiful eco-friendly toy and tiny masterpiece all in one, but the amount of work that goes into those prints is really phenomenal, and to have a little story to go along with her is just too sweet. I love that Candy and Nick made her a brilliant mother. If we do win her I’ll have to buy Claudius too because his little story describes my husband to a T (my daughter’s hero).
I love that Pecanpals are made of wood and have a voluminous backstory, unlike many of their plastic pals who are merely cute.
I want one because I want to shoot a music video for my band using one of these. They look tremendously cozy and attractive, I just want to borrow some of their charm.
I want the Pecanpal for me 15 mos. old! She will love it! And I want to see her play with it!
This is just the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. I’d love to surprise my daughter with it!! Be well, xo-Carla aka OneHealthyGirl.com
I would love for Fanelli to stand guard and bless my baby Una while she sleeps.
Because I never win anything, and this would be an awesome way to start! They’ve got intricate backstories, they’re eco-friendly, and they’re just plain cool!
Even though I have children I want the Pecanpal for myself, to display on my desk.
I would love to win this to add to my collectibles on my bookshelf.
super cute toys!
Irresistible… I would love to be the recipient of a Pecanpal and print to give my little girl as a gift; the start to what will certainly become a treasured collection!
I would love to win Fanelli because it would be a great way to celebrate mother’s day since she is a clever lady with twins! And oh is she so cute!!
i heart wood toys!!!!
pick me please………………………….
Why I want to win? Why wouldn’t I want to win? They’re adorable!
PecanPals are a Super Sweet alternative to those lame plastic toys! We enjoy teaching our baby boy, Kai, about being eco friendly. He would love your toys and inspirational designs!!!
My husband and I are trying to have our first baby and we are planning the nursery and these little pecanpals are perfect! Especially the adorable prints!
These are so cute
WOW, how beautiful and colourful and eco. Would love to have one and use it to explain to the children all about ecology and preserving our earth.
Wow, what an incredibly beautiful toy! and green too. Plus once my children have outgrown it, we can pass it on to other kids in the family…
cuuuute!
