Vegetable Plush Keychain - Soft Stuffed Bag Charm, 22 Designs

A grinning chili pepper hanging off a rucksack does something small and specific to a person's day. There are twenty-two of them, and choosing which one suits someone is most of the fun.

Small, soft and deeply silly

• Twenty-two designs — chili pepper, mango, pea pod, sweet corn, eggplant, napa cabbage, radish, leek, celery, cherry tomatoes and a dozen more, each with its own stitched face.
• Embroidered features — the expressions are stitched rather than printed, so they survive a winter of being dragged in and out of a pocket.
• 15cm of soft plush — PP cotton filling with enough weight to hang properly instead of flapping about.
• Metal ball-chain fitting — a proper chain and clasp, not a thread loop that gives out in a fortnight.
• Sized for a bag — big enough to spot across a school corridor, small enough not to swing into anyone.
• Genuinely odd produce — a bitter melon, a stick of sugar cane and a bundle of red dates are not things anyone expects to find on a keyring.

It is a low-stakes gift that lands high — the kind of thing someone keeps on the same bag for three years without ever mentioning it.
