Description
This fluffy avocado wind-up toy is a little bundle of fruity character, with a cream face, a soft peachy stone across its tummy and a bright green back topped by two leaves. Two tiny black eyes, a small black nose and rosy pink cheeks give it a sweet, slightly bashful look that is hard to resist. It stands 9.5cm tall, 7.3cm wide and 6.5cm long, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, and it is made from polyester, plastic and metal.
A white winding key sits at one side and a pair of little white feet sits underneath, so once it is wound up you can set it down on a table and watch it set off. It makes a cheerful companion on a desk at home or at work, a bedside table or a bookshelf, and it is just the sort of toy that brightens a long afternoon. A short silver-coloured ball chain at the top means it can also hang from a bag or a bunch of keys when it is not on the move. As a small gift, it is a fun surprise for anyone who adores avocados or simply loves something soft and silly.
We love the contrast between the soft, fluffy coat and the neat white feet, which let it stand up on its own when it is resting between turns. To keep it looking its best, smooth the fur gently with your fingers and lift any marks with a barely damp cloth, keeping water well away from the winding key and the mechanism inside. Turn the key gently rather than forcing it, and let it run down before winding again. Tuck it into a gift bag with a card, or leave it on someone's desk as a surprise, and it is sure to raise a smile.
