If you are anything like Kristen Bell, you will love these sloth-inspired animal accessories. From ThinkGeek, the [sloth jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew) depict a hanging sloth and a small cluster of stars. The nickel-containing stud earrings were made in Austin, Texas.

The sloths are wooden interpretations and not the real thing (obviously). Even though the animal accessories are unmoving -- they aren't even the dangly earring variety -- this is even more appropriate given the nature and pace of sloths.

If you consider the sloth to be your spirit animal, you basically have to pick up a pair. The sloth earrings also make a [great gift](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bluboho-x-fashionista) for friends or family members for any kind of occasion as long as they have pierced ears.
