This is a toughy! Whenever I think of penguins, I think of one of my best friends that is in LOVE with penguins, named Akiyo. But..I want one for myself, so maybe I'd give it to myself as a present??

B said...

I think I would give it to my friend's new baby who was born at only 4lbs. I think it would be a cute resemble to her and a great cuddler for her to have while she grows! I would get a green one because the baby's name is Jade :)

Nikki Lukas said...

Katy said...

I would give it to my classmate, who loves penguins as much as I do, and I am so proud of her for sticking it out and working so hard on top of being a single mom and working full time on the side. It would be awesome to give it to her when we graduate nursing school in december. Just one more semester; I have faith in her :D
I even have the color.. blue! For her love of the dodgers.

I would give this penguin to my mother as a thank you gesture for always being understanding and putting up with everything that she has gone through. I have given her a lot of things in the past (hand made and bought) but I believe that this simple yet meaningful mini penguin would be a great gift. It's small cute and an effective way to show my love for her.

I'd give this penguin to my work out buddy. I've stuck with her cheering her on and even when we were both about to quit, we managed to pull through. She encourages me and I encourage her.

I would give it to this guy I've been in love with for a over a year and I recently told him. He said it would be worth a shot. He loves penguins and his first girlfriend gave him a penguin plush. I've been searching for everywhere for over a year to find the perfect penguin and I think yours are the best and made with most love. :D

I LOVE penguins and last year one of my bestest friends gave me a penguin keychain she had made on our last day of work together. Today she asked me to be in her wedding so I think I would give the mini to her when the event draws closer :-)

Aaron said...

I would give it to my lovely wife, because she absolutely loves your penguins.

Military Momma said...

These are absolutely precious. I would definately give my 6 month old the penguin becuase he completes our cute little penguin family (my husband and I had penguins on our wedding cake becuase they mate for life).

kristafacee said...

It would be very tempting not to keep the mini penguin for myself! I have a growing collection of penguins that I have been hoarding for the past couple of years, and I absolutely adore these little guys. I usually carry around some sort of penguin with me at all times, and he seems to be the perfect little purse buddy. I'd take him around the world with me in my travels. So, I'd have to give him to me. (But I promise to share him with everyone else!)

well this may be the easiest answer ever.... My daughter Isabella is 5 and autistic but loves penguins so much that she is at her best when watching or dancing to Happy Feet. This lil guy would be all hers for being a big girl starting Kindergarten

Kimberly said...

I would give this to my nephew. My sister just had 2 new babies and he is really feeling left out.

Tam said...

I would give him to my niece for her 2nd Birthday! She LOVES penguins!

Lee said...

I know EXACTLY who I would give it to. You didn't even have to ask, and I already knew!

My brother! His favorite animal is the penguin. Every year I get him something penguin-related. He would LOVE this.

I would give this penguin to my daughter, Macy for her birthday. We are doing her room in a black and white Beatles motif and this little cutie could snuggle on her bed...I thing we would call him Ringo. She recently got caught in a really bad riptide at the beach and is having a hard time getting over it. Maybe this little fellow can bring back her sweet dreams!
My email address is: Penny4thoughts@verizon.net
Thanks for the consideration.

Emily said...

Would it be selfish to say myself? Penguins are my favorite animal and I have a tendency to collect them...

Adorable. Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh, what an adorable little penguin. My little preschooler would love it. She loves all animals; especially cute plush ones.

I'm also hosting a giveaway on my blog, sponsored by Fuji. Once you've got all your entries in for this adorable penguin, please head on over to my blog for another great giveaway :)

Great Green Giveaway

Lisa said...

Well, no one I know personally loves penguins, except for me. I love penguins. So I would HAVE to keep it for myself. As a birthday present.

Rhyan said...

I would give my mini penguin to my grandma to remind her that even though we live with an ocean between us, someday we will be reunited together in a place where night meets day, and snow meets sun.
