Trade As One

One of my favorite things is when new products arrive in the warehouse. I have always had a particularly strange draw towards inanimate objects that have personality so it was no surprise that I fell in love with Astro Neil.

What I wasn’t expecting was that grown men would also be captivated with him. But, I kid you not – I have seen numerous adults see Astro Neil, smile, pick him up and giggle. Something about him captures us all. Is it because we all secretly want to visit space? Is it that we all wish we got to wear cool uniforms to work? Is it because he is made of string and then stuck into a plastic helmet? I don’t know. But, what I do know is he is clipped onto my bag and every time I look at him, I smile.

The timing of Astro Neil’s arrival at Trade as One seems serendipitous as the Atlantis crew prepares for their spacewalk tomorrow morning, it seems fitting that Astro Neil can serve as a symbol of the amazing things we have seen in our lifetime. Wanna meet him? Click here.
