Especially in today's (busy) time it is important not just for kids to have something to "stop". I have several Sorgenfresserchen already given away - even to adults. The feedback was refreshingly across the board and I have so obviously really "joy" given away. I can see the future and friends (or whatever you want to call them) for special occasions highly recommend. The only difficulty I had was the right choice. All Sorgenfresserchen are so cute and creepy at the same time that I've pretty much bought my way through the entire range ;-)
