One of the things that fascinates me in the marketplace, is when someone has a passion for handcrafting a collectible item to such an extreme that they've are able to build their own unique brand around a single product.

Suitable for Weird Wednesday this week was such a collectible from a site called SockTreatment.com

The sock monkey is an American Icon in the craft world, but the mass produced available issues are practically devoid of any personality compared to those of Monkeymamma.

Like Gepetto with the wooden boy, it's plain to see that she puts a lot of love and care into each hand made monkey.

Also part of the profits from Socktreatment.com  go to World Vision.org, a great organization that is committed to wiping out hunger. In these days of hard economic times, it's comforting to make a purchase from a merchant who believes in giving something back, so points for that. 

Oh, and if you want to buy one, it won't be a complicated process, you can pay right through Paypal directly off of here page, it's so easy a monkey could do it! 

Why not give something different for a gift this holiday season? I'll bet Monkeymomma would even do a custom order, if for example let's say you wanted a Goth Monkey?

Site rating: Please note, that although all sock monkeys are G-rated, some of the content on site is not.

 

 

  I'll bet Monkeymamma does custom orders!
