What are those little fuzzy figurines called? Help please?
Hi, I am trying to buy my little niece a present for her Birthday and frankly, I don't know what to get her. I saw these little fuzzy figurines at a toy store the other day, and stupidly I didn't find out what they are called. I guess you can get all sorts if them, like chipmunks, bears, rabbits, cats, dogs and even like doll houses for them. I guess they could be considered dolls...but still I need to know what they are called.
Thanks
It could be you are talking about the Sylvanian Family / Calico Critters from International Playthings. (They are the same item, just the Sylvanian Families are overseas and the Calico Critters are in the USA). Here are informational links with pictures so you can see if this is what you are asking about:

One of the traditions of the Thanksgiving Holiday is the concept of offering grace or giving thanks for what you have. Some are simple and nondenominational:
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Others are much more complex and contain more emotion:
Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, honor and blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong;
no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.
We praise You, Lord, for all Your creatures,
especially for Brother Sun,
who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
of You Most High, he bears your likeness.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars,
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.
We praise You, Lord, for Brothers Wind and Air,
fair and stormy, all weather's moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Water,
so useful, humble, precious and pure.
We praise You, Lord, for Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night.
He is beautiful, playful, robust, and strong.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Earth,
who sustains us
with her fruits, colored flowers, and herbs.
We praise You, Lord, for those who pardon,
for love of You bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
by You Most High, they will be crowned.
We praise You, Lord, for Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in their sins!
Blessed are those that She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.
We praise and bless You, Lord, and give You thanks,
and serve You in all humility.
-St. Francis of Assisi
Ultimately, however, the basic concept of offering a Thanksgiving Grace remains the same regardless of religious and ethnic backgrounds in that the purpose is to acknowledge the blessings that you have received throughout your life (or the past year).
O God, when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry;
When I have work,
help me to remember the jobless;
When I have a home,
help me to remember those who have no home at all;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer,
And remembering,
help me to destroy my complacency;
bestir my compassion,
and be concerned enough to help;
By word and deed,
those who cry out for what we take for granted.
Amen.
- Samuel F. Pugh
