These lil’ bears were mentioned in my December post “Teja Ray’s Ideas for Vegan Gifts,” but now it seems like they should have a post of their own…. Meet “Lil’ Buddha Bear” (Brown) and “Lil’ Jambavan Bear” (Black), who are vegan, meaning they are made of synthetic materials which did not cause suffering to living beings.
Stuffed bears can be loved by humans of all ages. They make an especially nice gift for pet-free vegans (yes, there are a few of us!), because they are sweet to cuddle… and, they do not require food, water, walking, or waste removal! 👏
Adorable and soft, these bears sit cutely on my bed during the day, and then I tuck them in the sheets at night — after giving them a nice long hug. When I am hugging these sweet bears, I practice mindfulness: I fully savor the moment, and I deeply appreciate how calm, still, and quiet they are. We humans could learn a lot from stuffed bears! 🧸😃🧸
