Love-Hate Relationship Simulator of the Day: Punch’n’cuddle — “emotional furniture for kids & kidults” — by London-based designer Brit Leissler “is what you get when you cross a beanbag with a cuddly toy & a punch bag. It invites & demands physical and expressive interaction. Whether your emotions are positive or negative, Punch’n’Cuddle will absorb them and keep you fit at the same time.”

Not the most educational toy in the world, but kinda adorable in an unhealthy, I-believe-him-when-he-says-he’s-sorry sort of way.

Available for online purchase soon. In the meantime, you can e-mail the manufacturer directly to buy.
