Everyone loves sock monkeys! All of Ahimsa´s monkeys are 100% handmade, cruelty-free (meaning no animal products are used like leather or fur), use vintage fabric and buttons, and are totally unique - no two monkeys are exactly the same! Unfortunately this means that once a monkey is sold, we cannot make another one.

     Please browse this page for monkeys that are ready to buy, or take a look at our "Monkeys We Have Loved" page for pictures of all the monkeys that are lucky enough to have found a home.

Currently Available Monkeys
	Maxine Despite a slow start in high school and college, Maxine is now quite the vixen! She enjoys meeting men at the local driving range, picking up the balls that they hit off course. She finds so many available double entendres in such a setting and she uses them to her advantage, batting her eyelashes all the while. She keeps hoping for that one guy to be her "hole in one."	$18 Order!
	Onnie Onnie plays for the WMNBA (Women's Monkey National Basketball Assn.). She's heard all the stand-up comics' jokes, but still wears her title of 2nd-string forward proudly. She spends so much time on the bench that she has taken up tatting and serves a great purpose to the team, who frequently wears through all their socks. Way to take one for the team, Onnie!	$22 Order!
	Marion Marion is plagued by his short legs. He longs (no pun intended) to be a sprinter on the high school track team. But he has never been able to make the cut. So instead, he has resigned himself to bulking up his shoulders to become the star shot-putter. An inadvertent side-effect to this body building has been a lengthening of his torso. The chicks do NOT dig it.	$18 Order!
	Trudy Trudy is the worst student in her kindergarten class. Try as she may, she simply cannot master fingerpainting. Much to the dismay of Miss Treloar, Trudy can never tell the difference between her fingers and toes, causing many pairs of socks to be ruined. The only area in which she excels is naptime. Oh, and snack.	$13 Order!
	Skylar Skylar works in the local Multiplex in Billings, Montana. She enjoys seeing movies at a discount, but she hates when they make her change the blinking bulbs on the marquee outside. Each one has to be removed and shaken gently to see if it is the bad bulb that has caused the entire marquee to go dim.	$18 Order!
	Teddy Teddy is an avid mountain hiker. He traversed the Appalachian Trail with his sidekick Skippy, who served as a Sherpa for him during the journey.

	Jack Yes, Jacky is aware that he looks *exactly* like a Halloween Jack-O-Lantern! He does not appreciate when the bullies at school ask if he has a candle inside of him or if he has any candy to give them. The upside of his looks is that he often makes a few extra bucks around Halloween playing "Pumpkin Santa" at Von Maur giving other kids the candy they wish for.	$13 Order!
	Griswold Griswold, or "Grizzy" as he is often dubbed, works for Texas Instruments in the calculator calibration consortium. He leads a team of over 25 monkeys who fill their days finding sums on the new calculators. Nothing is more satisfying to Grizzy than getting a "4" when punching in "2+2". He donates defective calculators to existentialists who ponder the perplexing problems.	$18 Order!

	Trina Trina's actual name is Katrina. However, she has abbreviated her given name to distance herself from being associated with the devastating hurricane with the same moniker.
