This was a gift to my daughter (who's over 50 years old) because her birthday was on Feb. 1, one day before Groundhog Day. I'd never seen a stuffed groundhog toy before, so I had to get this for her. My order for it and the delivery were well before her birthday. It surprised her when she opened it then. And she commented that she'd take it to school the next day to show the kids. (She's a kindergarten teacher and knew they'd enjoy it too.)
