Schildpad met een lege sociale batterij

My coworker saw this on my desk and immediately asked where I got it, which says everything. The handmade stitching on the shell is genuinely neat, and it's the perfect size to squeeze during a long meeting without anyone noticing. Feels like a tiny nod that says, "Yeah, I'm done socializing too.

The little turtle’s shell has just the right amount of squish—firm enough to hold its shape, soft enough to melt into your palm. I’ve already got it perched on my desk for those days when I need a tiny nod of “same.” It’s the kind of small, handmade thing that makes you feel quietly seen.

Got mine in the mail and immediately propped it against my monitor—the tiny crochet stitches and little flippers are unfairly cute. It’s like having a tiny coworker who silently agrees that group chats drain you.
