Let me start by saying I absolutely adored Steve Irwin as a child. He was my idol. I never missed an episode of Crocodile Hunter. I wanted to be just like him. I was about to turn 10 when he died.

Fast forward to now, and I’ve started a tiny sewing business. I bought a stuffed animal stingray pattern, and they’re so cute. I thought it would be a great way to honor him. I thought I could run a promo the week of his birthday, where I include a free stuffed stingray with every purchase.

My husband pointed out that it might be taken badly. I mean it with respect, but I definitely see his point. So I want your opinion... would a “in memorial of Steve Irwin, free stuffed stingray with purchase” be distasteful? The last thing I want to do is offend someone.

Thank you in advance for replies
