I discovered what a Zoobie was when I was at the New York International Gift Fair and I am very excited about them!

Sure, a Zoobie looks like just one more cute, stuffed animal on the market, but this is simply a very clever disguise.  Upon closer investigation, you’ll find that by simply undoing two, little, Velcro tabs, you’ve turned what you thought was merely an adorable, stuffed toy into a plush pillow.  But wait! There’s more!!  You can actually unzip your fuzzy, buddy’s tummy to reveal a blanket!  This makes your Zoobie an ingenious 3 in 1 toy/pillow/blanket for kids of all ages. (prices range from $25-$99)

They have a wide selection of adorable pets to choose from  so whether she loves lavender or he loves monkeys, Zoobies have you covered (pun intended).  There are also three sizes to choose from, so whether you imagine this being a travel toy or want to spoil your recipient with a Zoobie so big it is practically furniture (animal is over 2 feet and blanket is king sized!), you have the option to.

This is not just an idea that sounds cool, Zoobies are a remarkably well executed design and will be sure to please anyone, from girlfriend to child, who wants something soft and warm to cuddle up to.

Of course, this would be a great gift to give your boyfriend before that road trip so that he can rest a bit more comfortably in the car or for your grandchild to use at nap time, but I also think that it would be a great way to give your canine companion a little comfort on a trip (as long as they aren’t into destroying their stuffed toys!).  I know on my recent trip to New York I brought everything from toy, ball, bowls and more for Isabelle (my pup), but it wasn’t at all practical to bring a bed for her.  Well, what if her toy was her bed?  She could play with it by day and at night I could remove the blanket to give her something comfy to lie on.  Of course, Isabelle is small so I would get her a Baby Zoobie!

Zoobies would make a great get-well, baby shower, birthday or anytime gift for any age!

I love the Zoobies so much I am coveting this one for myself and this one for Alex.  Now which one for Isabelle?  I may have to wait until the newest Baby Zoobies for 2010 are added to the collection before I decide.

Which Zoobie do you think is cutest? Leave me a comment!

Happy gifting!
