What Are Palm Pals?

collaborative post | First released in 1981, Palm Pals have been created by American brand Aurora World Ltd. Quickly becoming popular in the UK, these teeny tiny characters are aimed at both children and adults. But, what do you need to know about Palm Pals?

Why are Palm Pals named that?

Palm Pals are so named because they are designed to fit into the palm of your hand.

Standing at just 13cm, Palm Pals are designed to be characterful and extra adorable, hence their small sizes.

What are Palm Pals made of?

Palm Pals are marketed by plush-specialist Aurora World as its first eco-friendly soft toy, as part of their Green Initiative – allowing consumers to purchase sustainable products and enjoyed 100% guilt-free.

The materials of each Palm Pal, includes:

• Fibre fill – made from 100% recycled plastics
• Cloth labels – made from 100% recycled materials
