I seem to have a particular fondness for Fu Long, the panda baby at the Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna, Austria. Here are a few photos of the little guy. Eeeep! Too cute!

This unique wooden puzzle instantly caught my eye when I stumbled upon it. Scroller’s Den has this wooden panda puzzle made from the letters spelling out panda. Perfect for a child, a puzzle enthusiast, or a panda lover! Only $5.00 for MDF or $10 for Ceder.

This classy little panda clutch is perfect for everyday use, or just on special occasions. Available from Zappos.com for $153.95.

The Flipper is a cute little suction cup toothbrush holder that protects the head of your toothbrush from germs and keeps it stylishly contained. They have a wide assortment of choices, but of course, my favorite is the little panda one.  Available from the Flipper website for $5.99

Ok, so I’ve seen a lot of amazingly cute panda things, but this literally made me giddy when I saw it. I’ve never seen anything like it and I really want to try out the recipe. The original recipe is from an Asian website called Taro Taro (which features a photo gallery of user submitted panda bread!), luckily for those of us who can’t read the site, wlteef.blogspot.com was kind enough to post a translation. The recipe is after the cut!

This shirt is slightly disturbing, but if it’s your thing, it’s available from Route 1 for just under 20 pounds.

I’ll admit it took me a minute to figure out this shirt. It’s early in the morning and I’m a little groggy still. But, once it clicked, I instantly adored it. Available from Threadless from $15.00 – $17.00.

I’m not particularly a green thumb, but I’d attempt to keep flowers alive if they were showcased in this amazing granite panda planter. Located in Northern Ireland, Unique Garden Furniture definitely lives up to it’s name. While this panda potter is amazing, so are the equally impressive other granite items they sell. Unfortunately, Ireland is a long way from my home and weighing in at 88Kg (nearly 200lbs!) this would probably cost an arm and a leg to ship over. However, if you just can’t live without a panda planter and you’re not in Ireland, I’m sure an arrangement could be made. Also, if you’re looking for a pair, it also comes with the planter being held on the opposite side.

My sister in Law is due to give birth in February and this weekend is her baby shower. While shopping around online for cute gift ideas, I found these beautiful cookies from Storkbabygiftbaskets.com. Of course, the panda is my favorite, but I also adore the other zoo themed ones! Though kind of pricey at $19.80 for 6, they’re so beautiful I think they’d be worth it for special occasions. They’re also quite large measuring 4.0 x 3.5 inches.

Flensted Mobiles makes absolutely beautiful and amazing mobiles. The panda one below is just one example of their amazing work. Unfortunately, unless you live in Texas, you’ll have to email the Denmark company directly. However, I think it’s probably worth the effort.

EDITED: Thanks to Charlotte for bringing to my attention that you don’t have to contact Denmark to get these lovely mobiles! In the US, contact:
