Spoil your sweetheart with snuggly toys from Alpaca Direct

| February 8, 2012 8:15 PM

Add a twist of luxury this Valentine's Day with a signature stuffed toy from Alpaca Direct! Our stuffed teddy bears, alpaca, bunnies and puppies are perfect romantic gifts - let them "deliver" a box of chocolates, a bouquet of roses or a sparkly surprise. Or, simply wrap one in a big bow and watch her heart melt!

Each of our stuffed toys is carefully handcrafted in Peru from real alpaca, an unbelievably soft cousin of the llama. Alpaca are native to the high Andes Mountains of South America. Domesticated for centuries by the Inca of Peru, their precious fleece was worn only by royalty. Alpaca produce more than 20 natural shades of a fiber that is soft like cashmere and contains no lanolin, so many people with wool sensitivities have no adverse reaction to alpaca. Most of our stuffed toys are made from Huacaya alpaca, which produce a short, fluffy fur. However, we do have a few toys made from the rare Suri alpaca, which produce a distinctive silky, shaggy fur. Both are incredibly soft to the touch - each alpaca fiber is less than one fourth the width of a human hair!

Our exclusive line of stuffed toys range from tiny and cute to huge and snuggly, and are priced for any Valentine's Day budget. Each sweet, curious alpaca toy has a hand-stitched face, so every one has a different personality and expression. Our adorable mini-size alpaca are just 6 inches tall and are on sale this month for only $9.95. Need to make a bolder statement? We've got you covered, with five other sizes and two poses to choose from, ranging all the way up to our 3-foot-tall Giant Alpaca!

Nothing evokes a traditional, romantic Valentine's Day like a teddy bear, and ours are the softest around. Choose from six colors (including adorable panda bears!) starting at $29.95. Our best-selling large-size bear is 16 inches of softness and snuggles, on sale for $79.95.

Or, indulge a dog lover with one of our alpaca puppies - each one is totally unique and they are going fast. They won't call it puppy love for long with a one-of-a-kind gift like this!
