Stuffed owls, with large eyes and soft feathers, offer wisdom and thoughtfulness. Ok, so they won’t really give you wisdom as that’s something you have to learn on your own, but if you get or give an owl stuffed animal as a gift, that is indeed thoughtful, right? Eager to please, these plush owls can either sleep with you at night or, like their live counterparts who are nocturnal, they can stay up and keep watch.
