Charitable Shoppers Warm Heads and Hearts with Cute Critter Caps from Canada's Spunky Kitty

In a true display of heartfelt holiday cheer, Canada's Spunky Kitty is teaming up with children's charity Child's Play to give the gift of happiness to children's hospitals around the world.  By donating 10% of all holiday sales to the charity, designer Caitlin Thompson does double duty, as both a corporate sponsor of Child's Play and also a social activist of sorts, looking to change the way gamers and the gaming community are perceived.

Spunky Kitty's Critter Caps add a quirky twist to cyber fashion, and are the perfect way for kids-at-heart to accessorize.  According to designer Caitlin Thompson, cute isn't - and shouldn't be - just for kids anymore.  Card-carrying gamers, many of whom are young adults, have both the need and the desire to look stylish, as well as the playful disposition to have fun while doing so.  

With fleece critter caps in a variety of species ranging from pandas, bunnies, bears, and of course, kitties, Spunky Kitty's style appeals to guys, gals & fashionable gamers alike looking to adopt the cosplay style into their everyday attire, while giving back to the community.

The cosplay culture, where gamers & gaming enthusiasts dress similarly to the characters in the games they play, takes its inspiration from manga, anime and other Japanese video games.  The fuzzy fleece of Spunky Kitty's endearing creature creations adds a fanciful splash of contemporary cuteness to the bits & bytes of the ultramodern world of gaming.

The Child's Play Charity is further proof that the gaming community is more than simply cyber freaks and geeks planted in front of their PCs.  Founded in 2003 by the authors of popular webcomic, Penny Arcade, the charity is the gaming community's solution to both spreading a little love to children's hospitals, while also shedding a more positive light on a community sometimes thought of as antisocial and sometimes violent.  The charity, it's donators, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in toys, gifts & donations is evidence that gamers and their supporters can just as easily get caught up in the giving spirit of the holidays.

With a portion of all holiday sales at Spunky Kitty going directly to the Child's Play charity, compassionate shoppers can indulge in some fun retail therapy, and know that a portion of their purchases will go directly to gifts, research and facility improvements that will benefit children's hospitals around the world.

Joining gamers & altruistic types looking to give gifts with more meaning this holiday season, Spunky Kitty's fleece animal-themed hats and other gamer gear are an easy way to spread some warm & fuzzy feelings, while also keeping one's ears toasty throughout the holidays.
