Like the emoji you choose when you want to express pure, unadulterated joy, this smiler is ready to spread sunshine wherever you place it. With a strong belief in the power of the smile, Gustav Ehrenreich created his Hoptimist movement of springy companions in the late 1960s. These sweet, tactile, keepsake, and giftable figures are a perpetual reminder to stay positive and optimistic. The happy Hoptimists are part of Danish design history and spread joy around the world.
