Over the last few years a handful of small UK and US businesses have popped-up selling religious soft toys aimed at parents of children aged under 10.
Hindu-origin parents are the business brains behind many of the brands, hoping to maximise sales in the run up to Diwali, the festival of lights which is on 4 November this year.

Catch 'em young before they learn to think!
Fark! We had about three different soft toys. Teddy Bears, Horsies and a Golliwog, which are un PC today.. In Oz. The golliwog was part of our casual racism, which has largely gone. Today people just lie. We also had N-boy licorice
I gave JBTB (Jolly Blue Teddy Bear) to my Godson's daughter when she was two. He was over two feet long and powder blue. He wore a hideous seersucker tie. My wife had won him in a raffle when she was about 12. She gave him to me because I no longer had any teddys ( my little brother pinched them all) I was very touched.

Pretty sure I have some rosary beads somewhere.
My mum had this crucifix from her mum, ivory under the body of Jesus.. The crucifix slid off the base to fit standing in a slot. Inside the body of the cross was all the gear a priest needs for last rites. Small vials of oil and holy water and a small, clean white cloth. Bet I could sell that on Ebay.
