Folks, you might remember earlier this year when I got to tell you about a new Middle Earth sponsor here at the Prancing Pony podcast, OSHA.

As the holidays and gift giving times approach, I want to remind you about this small family company based in Scotland.

They've created beautiful designs that faithfully capture the feel of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit.

OSHA's Middle Earth collection is a genuine passion project for them, and you're definitely going to find something you want, either for yourself or a loved one, maybe both. They're woven pieces, things like blankets, throws, scarves. They're all made locally from responsibly sourced yarns. And their homeware, things like mugs and tea towels and tote bags, really perfect for gifts or for your own home. I use my mugs from them all the time, the realm of Middle Earth and ancients of Gondor, if you want to check out those designs. So visit osha slings.com. That's O-S-C-H-A-Slings.com. Yeah, they started out as a baby carrier company, hence the slings. So if you're a new or

expecting parent, yes, they have Lord of the Rings themed slings and baby wraps too. Small family

business, faithfully captured Middle Earth designs, ethically made products, and free international

shipping. And one more thing. OSHA knows that with the tariff changes and the rules about de minimis exceptions and all of that, folks are concerned about ordering from overseas.

All of their shipments will come with customs fees and duties paid up front.

No extra fees for you.

What you see at checkout is all you'll pay.

Plus, there's 10% off for new customers with code Pony at checkout.
