We will let Claudia, our owner, answer this one ... When I was pregnant with my first child, we decided not to find out the gender of the baby. So, every time someone would ask what we were having, our standard answer became "a monkey". Well, that led to a monkey themed baby shower and a whole heck of a lot of monkey stuff around our house. When it came time to pick a name for my store, it was inevitable that "monkey" would be in there somewhere. Snuggly Monkey originally began as a handmade ring sling shop. Ring slings are perfect for snuggling ... so Snuggly Monkey seemed like a perfect fit. Over the years the business has changed and evolved, but the name stuck.
