That’s such an interesting question because I honestly do love them equally, but for very different reasons 💛
Newton’s Apple was my first love. There was just something about the personality and meaning behind the character that immediately pulled me in. To me, Newton represents courage, curiosity, stepping outside your comfort zone, and trying to discover who you are beyond what people expect from you. I connect with that deeply.
Then when my daughter saw the Wallflower postcard, she completely fell in love with it 😂 so of course I had to buy Wallflower too. But honestly, Wallflower ended up meaning a lot to me personally as well. Sometimes I’m very much like Newton, wanting to explore and engage with the world, and other times I’m absolutely Wallflower… quiet, observant, wanting peace, comfort, and a little space away from everything.
And then came Candiger. There was no way I could pass on Candiger, especially knowing it was something personally created by someone I truly admire. The meaning behind Candiger resonated with me immediately because it represents protection, strength, resilience, and guarding the spirit through difficult moments.
And maybe this sounds silly to some people, but these little characters have honestly become more meaningful to me than I ever expected.
I have a medically fragile son, and sometimes being out in public can create uncomfortable situations or interactions. But somehow these three little buddies completely change the energy around us. People notice them first. They smile, ask questions, laugh, and it naturally opens the door to conversation.
What starts as “Why are you taking pictures of those?” usually turns into genuine, kind interactions that go far beyond the characters themselves.
In a really unexpected way, Newton’s Apple, Wallflower, and Candiger have helped create connection, warmth, and comfort in situations that otherwise might feel awkward or isolating.
So yes… I truly love them equally. They’re all unique, and in different ways, each one represents a part of me.
