The Unemployed Philosophers Guild

The Unemployed Philosophers Guild came into being in the last decades of the 20th century when two brothers found their inner creativity in the midst of a dwindling academic job market. It turned out that fulfilling gift-giving needs proved to be almost as satisfying as probing eternal questions (well,maybe not quite). Although they still contemplate truth and justice, it is their enduring goal to fulfill the materialistic desires of the funny and sophisticated everywhere!

SUNNY PUPPETS!

Sunny & Company can trace it's modest beginnings in 1993 to a flea market booth in Orlando, Florida where owner Eddie Zhu designed and marketed a furry wrap-around puppet called "Cool Cat." Today, still located in Orlando, Florida, Sunny & Company Toys, Inc. is a world-wide distributor of deluxe puppets and plush animal toys.
