A Christmas miracle… or a minty mistake? Either way, your lobes will love it.

Meet the Peppermint Ringed Rocktopus — a limited-edition Christmas twist on our classic kinetic sea creature. Born from a happy holiday accident (aka: the moment we grabbed the wrong acrylic sheet), this minty-fresh octo-friend is the Christmas miracle/mistake you never knew you needed.

Designed for ocean lovers, Aussie wildlife fans, teachers, marine folk, and anyone who loves Christmas with a dash of cheek, this festive Rocktopus brings all the movement, charm, and jiggly tentacle energy of the original — now dipped in candy-cane vibes.

Each adorable Rocktopus is laser-cut, hand-assembled, and ready to wiggle its way through the silly season. Hang them from your ears and watch their peppermint tentacles shimmy as you do the Christmas grocery sprint, read beachside holiday books, or wrangle overexcited kids at the school end-of-year assembly.

Because this was a genuine colour mishap that turned out surprisingly delightful, this peppermint edition is strictly limited. Once these minty marvels scuttle away, they won’t be coming back.

Story behind the design

Twas the month through the Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, except me. I was panicking. 

After 18 hours of machine cutting time I thought I'd just managed to restock my most popular pair of earrings just in time for the Christmas rush...until I peeled back the paper on my newly cut octopi and realised the COLOUR WAS ALL WRONG.

One Tiktok crashout later though, our cheeky Christmas disaster turned into...well if not a miracle, definitely something slightly magical.
