Edderkopp Mini

The eight little elastic legs are perfect for draping him over the edge of my monitor, and the fuzzy body is genuinely soft to the touch. He's the only spider I've ever willingly picked up, and the smiling face makes me laugh every time I glance over.

I was bracing for something spooky, but this little guy is genuinely adorable—the smiling face and fuzzy body make it impossible to be scared. The elastic legs are surprisingly fun to stretch and snap back, and it's the perfect size to sit on my desk and cheer me up during work.

I’m terrified of spiders, but this little guy made me laugh the second I unboxed him—that smiling face is ridiculously charming. The fuzzy body is soft enough to squeeze, and the eight stretchy legs bounce back perfectly, so it’s survived my dog’s attempts to claim it as a toy.
