Description from designer’s website:
In real life the postman delivers our greetings and gifts, so the Postman Hedgehog is suitable for almost any occasion or celebration. The mail bag can be used to contain a gift, chocolates or sweets. And here’s another lovely idea. When the grandchildren come to call, they can open the mail bag to find a different surprise each time! What has the postman delivered today?
