It’s that time of year again… the hectic shopping, the crowds, the empty wallet… don’t forget to take time out and remember what the season is really about – BEING A SLOTH!

Spotted today in Presence gift shop – Slothy cards to give your loved ones!
I love seeing sloths when I am out and about! It just puts the biggest smile on my face knowing a) that there are people out there after my own heart and b) that sloths are putting a little bit of joy into others’ lives.
Whilst in Melbourne, stumbled upon a little market on Sunday morning. Little stall selling gorgeous archival prints and greeting cards. I spotted a few whimsical sloths among them!
You can get these print from Hannakin’s Shop on Etsy.

People just know how to make me smile. Get me sloth things for my birthday. Mum is getting me the cute sloth tea infuser when it finally comes out, and I got some lovely handmade cards from my little cousin and my brother!
Managed to get one of the Woolworths Super Animals cards featuring the three-toed pygmy sloth.
The cool thing about this promotion for kids is that they can get a sound reader which, when you swipe the card through it, makes the animal sound of that card. I was really interested in the noise that the sloth card made! My little cousin happened to have one of the sound readers, and, well… have a listen.
Now, I’m not sure what the Woolworths promotional/research team was thinking when they picked this noise for the sloth. If you don’t know already, that noise, the screaming noise, is the sound of a sloth mating call. The noise a female sloth makes to attract males and tell them she is in heat.
Yeah. That’s right. All your kids are listening to horny sloths looking to get it on.
It’s December! And that means it’s time to get onto your Chrissy shopping if you haven’t yet. Last year I posted the Ultimate Sloth Gift Guide, but each year more weird and wonderful sloth-related products and experiences seem to come into existence, so here’s my top-ten pick for 2014.
Number 10: Sloth Tops
BelovedShirts.com has you completely covered on this front… literally. This Majestic Sloth top is one of my favs.
Number 9: Sloth Wall Calendar for 2015
Lucy Cooke’s noble quest to make sloths part of everyone’s lives takes us into the future with her Hanging With Sloths calendar for 2015. The added bonus of seeing baby sloths on your wall all year round.
Number 8: Sloth Art
Etsy delivers the goods on this one. This beautiful sloth watercolour is absolutely fabulous.
Number 7: Sloth Hat
When you’re lazing around (or not?) this totally cute sloth hat is ideal for keep those little slothy ears warm.
Number 6: Sloth Clocks
Sloths have a habit of being late! Nothing wrong with that, but if you need to know the time and want to do it in lazy style, this funky vintage sloth clock (slock? cloth?) will set you right.
Number 5: Sloth Onesie
For the intense sloth lover, you can’t go past this all-over sloth onesie from Kigurumi. Ideal for lounging, lazing, and sleeping… a sloth’s favourite activities.
Number 4: Sloth Jewellery
Carry a little sloth close to your heart with this gorgeous sloth necklace from Etsy.
Or, if you want some finger bling, the sloth wrap-around ring is hard to beat.
Number 3: Sloth Toy
Fancy your own Sueno or Duermo? This Wild Republic sloth is one of the most popular world-wide and you can cuddle him/her to your heart’s content.
Number 2: Meet the Sloths Series
Chill out one afternoon (or many) and have a marathon of Meet the Sloths. The amount of gasping, Aww exclaiming and heart-melting you will experience is like no other.
Number 1: Adopt a Sloth
Get the real deal through the World Wildlife Fund. You won’t get to take a sloth home, but you will be contributing to the conservation and maintenance of sloths everywhere, so that they can be around to enjoy for generations to come.
And finally…
Don’t forget to wrap your sleepy presents in some sloth wrapping paper, and send a sweet snoozy message on some sloth Christmas cards like these ones from Night Owl Paper Goods.
Happy holidays!
My young niece and cousins know all too well my obsession with sloths. Today was a month since my birthday so I packed up my cards that had been sitting out since then, and realised I forgot to post about this card that my 7 year old cousin made for me:
Not sure, but I think that’s a dolphin on top of the winner’s podium. And I may have seen recently on Facebook that she now has a toy sloth of her very own! Talk about having a positive influence!
Yesterday was my birthday. I had a busy day at work, but did get very spoilt by family and friends.
So here is the big news:
The boy is organizing for me to MEET A SLOTH. Pet it, feed it, interact with it. I am BESIDE MYSELF. As they only allow two people at a time, once a month, I have to wait until July at this stage. And if it shuns you, you have to leave. If I get shunned by the sloth I will literally cry. Watch this space, it’s going to be AMAZING.
Celebrated 6 years with my boy the other day. Woke up to this card from Etsy.
