Krampus’ tale comes from Alpine and Germanic folklore. On the night of December 6th, Santa and Krampus visit all of the children asleep in their beds. For those on the “Nice List”, Santa gives sweets and gifts. However, for those on the “Naughty List”... Krampus doles out punishment with his birch rods. Although Krampus works on December 6th, Krampus day festivities in parts of Europe are celebrated on December 5th, and is known as Krampusnacht!
As for me… Hello!👋 I’m L, an illustrator based in the US. For almost three years now I've been in the business of designing graphics like emotes, badges, screens, and PNGTubers for streamers on Twitch and YouTube, as WildnCrafty Designs®️.
Recently,I have been creating and refining my characters into turnaround sheets for reference, and while staring at my Kidd Krampus design it hit me like a birch rod - I want these characters to be real! Not just a sticker set or pins, but someone you can take with you anywhere. You can put them on display for the holidays, sit them down for tea parties or dress them in holiday attire. For me, my characters spark excitement, imagination and friendship and I hope to share that. To make this dream a reality, I’m trying out my first crowdfunding campaign on BackerKit!
“Why is this plush more expensive than others?” We owe it to the planet to be as green as possible - now more than ever. I wouldn’t feel good about making a product that would contribute to plastic waste. Thus, WildnCrafty Companions would be teaming up with US based Joyus Toyus™️ to make a completely organic plush!
Find out more details in the FAQ! Finally, these plushies pass stringent standards to be available for snuggling in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, EU, Austrailia and more!
For your support, you can earn Krampus themed stickers, pins, a wooden keychain, Yule newsprint wrapping paper, Krampus art prints, and ofcourse, plushies! There are a lot of rewards to choose from, but it’s completely customizable! You could get just one plush, or add-on whatever you like to get exactly what you want, within your pledge amount. You will also have some rewards that bundle everything togetherfor a cheaper price, ratherthan adding everything on at full price.

Voting will begin once we reach our $8,000 goal achievement in the campaign! The upcoming Companions looking for your votes will be: Wendi Wendigo, Bebe Baphomet, and Mothman ( fun name to be determined ). You can get stickers of these three characters ( plus Bifful Bigfoot ) for free by signing up to my email update list!
If Kidd Krampus’ campaign is successful, I will work to get all Krampus pledge rewards mailed out in Autumn 2024, to get to you by early Winter 2024!
Shipping and applicable VATs will be calculated after the campaign ends. Please note, shipping and VATs will be the responsibility of the backer, due to the tightly budgeted nature of my first plush venture. Please note that add-ons may add to your shipping costs, and vary based on country.
“Can you ship to the EU and UK?” Yes! The inspections for Kidd Krampus will pass EU and UK plush standards. We will also have safety inspections approved for Canada and Austrailia!
Initially, I would like to continue with the mystical folklore and creepy cryptids theme to create a line of characters, including Mothman and the Wendigo, to support the foundation of my long-term goals. My end goal for WildnCrafty Companions is to have multiple wild ( as well as domesticated ) animal characters from biomes all over the globe. WildnCrafty Designs would then partner with zoos, wildlife rehabilitation centers, and shelters to promote wildlife conservation as well as domestic animal wellbeing.
