I found this clay panda while perusing Etsy. It’s my addiction, I can’t help myself. I just love that place.

Anyhow, I love this little panda with a heart. Only $18.00 at Cold Porcelain Designs‘ Etsy shop.

With the release of the new move Kung Fu Panda, there has been a flood of panda products in the market. I love it. Granted, it’s mostly branded things, but some are quite cute. HP has a whole page of project ideas that include this papercraft panda mask. There are tons to chose from and most of them look fun!

As it’s probably quite apparent, I’ve been really busy lately finishing up my degree and haven’t had a lot of time to update this site every day like I’d like to do. I start a new internship next week and I’ll have even less time soon. However, I LOVE this site and I love sharing so many unique panda items with everyone. Not to mention I’ve already raised over $60 for panda charities! (Yay everyone that clicks those ads!)

So here’s where you come in… if you love sharing the unique panda items you find along the way and like writing, I’d love to have you become a part of this site! If you’d like to join as a contributer please email me at Julie@perfectpandas.com. You don’t have to be the perfect writer, you just have to love pandas and sharing unique panda related things. No post quotas, write when you feel like it, even if it’s just once a month.

Of course I’ll still update the site with a new panda item every day, even if no one decides to join in the writing fun. It might just be a bit delayed.

The massive earthquakes have caused mayhem in china, including the pandas’ home, Wolong Panda Nature Reserve. Frances has been kind enough to keep me up to date with news from Pandas International, and also sent me the link to this video, which is absolutely amazing. A worker at Wolong recorded footage of the rescue of several panda babies. The cubs had to be carried off site one by one by workers.

The entire facility sustained severe damage and will require significant funds to rebuild. In addition to human relief aid, please consider donating to Pandas International if you can afford it. Every little bit helps.

These photos are from the Kung Fu Panda premiere at Cannes Film Festival this year. So many pandas and a very pregnant Angelina Jolie (and Jack Black!).

This is the second installment of the panda games posts I have planned. I keep finding a ton of online panda video games and some are just too fun to not share. Y8.com has a slew of panda video games which can be found here, but my favorite of the bunch is Panda Bounce. It’s fairly simple, which is good because the entire thing is in a foreign language. Basically, two squirrels are holding a trampoline and the little panda jumps on it and has to catch the fruit above on the clothesline. The best part is after you win a level, the little panda does a dance for you! Try it, it’s addicting.

This was posted today at ICanHasCheezburger.com. I just had to share cause it made me giggle.

Also of note: I’m jealous of that guy’s pinky nail. My nails always bend and peel and break.

If you’re planning to have a child soon, or happen to already have one, why not tote around all their gear in this stylish panda diaper bag? Available in pink,  gold,  red, or blue for $32.99 at Amazon. I’m not having kids, but if I did, they’d have one of these diaper bags.

These pencil holders would brighten any desk and make the work day slightly more enjoyable. And we all need that, right? Both versions are available at Amazon for $34.99.  1, 2.

While you’re at it, why not top your pencils off with this little panda eraser? For only a quarter you can afford enough for all your writing instruments. Though, I don’t recommend that, it’d a bit overkill, no?

These tiny little panda stickers are only $4.50 from FromJapanWithLove’s etsy store. I think it’d be a sweet, unexpected touch to add to correspondence. The mama and baby panda butts sticker in the center kills me; so cute and it’d make a nice addition to your mother’s day cards!
