Penguin mania: Eight sugar-sweet products

There are penguins and there are penguin products. While you can only ogle the real animals from afar, the latter will sweeten your life. Today's Penguin Day could be an occasion to go shopping.
Penguins are great. So great, in fact, that entire days are dedicated to them - such as 20 January in the USA. This day serves to devote special attention to the Antarctic inhabitants. This is because penguins are threatened with extinction, as the flightless seabirds are unlikely to be able to adapt quickly enough to climate change. But it is not only for this sad reason that we should think about penguins more often - because these animals are simply adorable. Some penguin species remain faithful to their mate for life. When the offspring arrive, mum and dad take equal care of raising them. What's more, their peculiar gait is simply adorable - by the way, they tap to save energy.
Fittingly, Galaxus has various must-have products for penguin fans and all those who want to become one. We show you the best eight here.
1st penguin storage tin
Speaking of climate change, why not indirectly support the cute animals with an article on environmental protection:
These sustainably produced storage bags with a practical Velcro fastener are ideal for transporting lunch to the office, the little ones' school lunch or simply for storing food in the fridge.
2. penguin puzzle
While we're on the topic of species protection: This puzzle is from WWF. WWF stands for World Wide Fund for Nature and is one of the most important environmental protection organisations in the world. Of course, the WWF is also committed to penguins. So if you decide to buy the puzzle, you will be doing something good for the penguins at the same time. And if the animals do become extinct (hopefully not!), at least you'll have a nice souvenir.
3rd penguin construction kit
If puzzling takes too long for you, but you would still like to hold your own specially created penguin in your hands, then this kit might be the right thing for you:
Eugy's penguin is a 3D minifigure that you can build yourself. The set consists of numbered cardboard layers which, when assembled, bring the cute figure to life. And best of all, the manufacturer supports animal and environmental protection organisations with the proceeds from your purchase.
4. warm cuddly toy
Did you know that penguins always have warm feet? That sounds too good to be true. But if you are often cold - be it on your feet or elsewhere - then I can recommend this super cute penguin warming cuddly toy:
The arms of the two penguins are attached to each other with Velcro. To warm them up, separate them briefly and put them in the microwave for 30 seconds each - or alternatively in the oven for six minutes. Afterwards, the friends stay cosy and warm thanks to their millet and lavender filling - for up to an hour and a half, according to the manufacturer.
5th penguin throwing game
On the beach, on the other hand, you're usually not cold and can leave your cosy cuddly toy at home. However, if it does get a bit chilly, exercise can help. You'll be well equipped with this fun game:
Thanks to the ropes supplied, you can hang the game anywhere - for example between two palm trees or on a volleyball post. Then throw the fish into the hungry belly of the penguins. Whoever gets the most fish into the target is the winner. A great alternative to beach volleyball - especially as the post has been repurposed for penguin target throwing anyway.
6th alarm clock
If you watch penguin documentaries long into the night, you run the risk of oversleeping. If you don't want that, this alarm clock might be the right thing for you:
The funny Mebus penguin is actually designed for children. But it's sure to bring some colour into your bedroom and make it easier to get up early.
7th inhaler for everyone
This penguin-shaped inhaler is probably also primarily intended for children. However, the manufacturer states that it is suitable for children, babies and adults. So the next time you catch a nasty respiratory illness, not only will inhaling help you, but the cute look of the inhaler will also have a positive effect - it will lift your mood straight away.
8th penguin fairy lights
Finally, I would like to recommend one more unusual decorative product:
This penguin light chain consists of five cute acrylic penguins and is guaranteed to conjure up atmospheric light in your home. Perfect if you want to create a warm atmosphere in your own four walls during the cold season. In summer, the glowing penguins will be the stars of any garden party.
