I Heart Guts has the cutest collection of organ plushies - heart, liver, lungs, gall bladder,kidneys, pancreas, brains and uterus. Kids would enjoy having these cool plushies guaranteed to remind them of science lessons at school. Or make an adult recipient smile. It's like organ donation without the surgery and it may well encourage people to consider organ donation
Someone on the internet is planning to replace his nephew's plush toy with a uterus! But seriously, couldn't you see the limited edition "Heart of Gold" for a wonderful person in your life?
The "I Lung You" for your favourite windbag? How about the "Pancreas Plush" to remind you not to indulge in too much candy? The pancreas is best known for making insulin which processes the sugary stuff you eat. Or if "you're in love", get the "Urine Love" plushie. Get it? Our kidneys come in pairs. Cuddling the "Womb Service" plushie might help with menstrual cramps. As the website says, "If you think cramps are bad, you should try childbirth!"
Individual plushies range from $16- $20. Get the Plush Internal Organ sets ranging from $67 to $130.
The "brains" behind this company is Wendy Bryan an anatomically obsessed illustrator. I Heart Guts works with transplant organizations and health organizations to help them raise money for worthy organisations.
