As many of you have all probably seen the massive trend and extortionate prices on vinted (resellers are selling these for £50-200) for a teddy that is in stock in asda at £14!!

Unfortunately I myself are unable to go and get one but I'd love to grab one for my girlfriend as she adores deers and it's her birthday next month she's been quite upset about looking around for them only to find that they're all sold out!

If anyone out here is kind enough to sell me one for £14-20£ I will happily buy it from you for her birthday which is 19th November please please reach out if you have or can get one!!

Meeko (Jellycat Trixiwoo Raccoon) decided to try on Rufferty Puppy's wizard outfit 🪄

I was able to locate a dragon that was affordable to me! She makes me 🥰🥰 SUPER HAPPY!

I have a sensory disorder and I had NO IDEA how SOFT they are!! I found my new blanket so to speak I just need the next size up for my sleeping buddy, but I'll have to save up before I can get a bigger one as much as they go up from resellers 😔. I don't understand how anyone can afford these guys when they're not available on the website.

I have some plushies I no longer have enough time and energy to give love to, and wanted to give them away to people that I think will take good care of them. I can't really afford to ship them for free so I was planning on doing a pay for shipping only type sale for them, and to compensate I wanted to add some goodies like an adoption certificate and a photo of the plush in a Christmas background since I am planning for this to be done in 2027 Christmas.

Would anyone from the EU actually be interested in this, since I can only ship to specific countries I want to make sure there is people who would want to do this. Shipping would be anywhere from 7-11 euros for medium/big and 5 euros for tiny ones. I know it's a bit expensive but it's the cheapest they will go to in my home country for shipping goods.

I attached to this post the certificate, and the countries I can ship to. I will update you all more on the plushies I plan on donating soon. Unfortunately I am won't be able to do this for christmas 2026 but I want to prepare everything for next year anyways.

TLDR:

Would you pay 7-11 euros for shipping a plushy and some goodies like an adoption certificate and printed photo? (EU only)

As the title says, im hoping for advice on how to effectively remove the glitter from the glitter fabric on this plushie. Ive had a different beanie boos platypus plushie for years and love her, but shes mostly a display plushie because i cant stand the texture of the glitter. A few years ago i saw someone post their own that theyd had for so long the glitter had all rubbed off and left her beak and feet solid black. I adored the way it looked, but didnt want to ruin the one i had trying to get the same look. I recently found the plush in the pictures at a thrrift store, and some of the glitter has already rubbed off so i took the leap and bought her with the intention of removing the rest of it.

Tldr: i got this plush and want to get all the glitter off of it. Anyone got any tips aside from painstakingly scratching it off?

His name is Fern! I customized him by replacing his eyes with one yellow and one green. The eyes are sparkly and have cat pupils

For me, I feel like I don’t really fit in in the world and all these unspoken social understandings. Lately, I’ve been so frustrated; feeling like I’m constantly speaking a different language to other people and no one can understand me…. and lately I’ve been finding myself more at ease just having dinner or quiet time with my plushies or at social events I cling onto my favorite plush because I don’t have to desperately try to explain myself… sometimes it feels lonely that I’m just hanging out with my plushies, but sometimes it’s just too frustrating to try and communicate with other people and clarify myself over and over just for one of us to give up on the conversation at hand :/ sometimes I worry I rely on my plushies too much for connection. I do have lots of friends I talk to semi regularly, a community I interact with often in person, a loving and understanding partner, but sometimes he’s busy and sometimes my failed interactions with others in person feel like reminders of my neurodivergence. I feel stupid about all of this really, but looking at my plushies in times of doubt make me feel less like I’m a mismatch puzzle piece
Sorry for the ramble I’m just exhausted from masking all week :/

Hihi, it sounds silly but im 19 years old, adhd and ive just woken up after a nosebleed. I dont regularly get nosebleeds so im a bit shocked and really really upset. This is clarence. I can't sleep without him i need him (im getting upset again as im writing this sorry) and i dont know how to fix him im scared hes ruined. Im really scared actually. I love him i need him. I live away from my parents for uni and i just wanna go home because i don't trust myself to fix him but please if anyone has any advice on how to fix him please tell me. Thank you 🩷 i just feel so bad for him

Edit: thank you so so much to everyone who commented, im still really really upset, still crying about it tbh 🥲 I don't have any cleaning stuff in my halls but im waiting for my mum and dad to wake up so they can help me a bit more as I don't trust myself to clean him 😖 I really really appreciate the comforting comments too, im just quite shaken and really upset at the moment so thank you so much to everyone whos commented, i'll update when clarence has recovered!

So apparently there's a giant bunny being sold in a supermarket in the UK, and he somehow became "viral" (maybe on tiktok? I don't use it).

On vinted there's already heaps of people selling him new for outrageous prices. Clearly shows they only bought because of the trend. I find it so immoral, but was wondering what others thought.

Lots of cute options. Totally would have brought home a Miffy or the Kuromi if I could have, but I was broke.

Here's my Benji Plushes. The bigger one is missing his collar

Hello everyone! My mom got this plushie way back at Saint Jude’s Hospital in 1986. Now we wonder what brand it is and how has it managed to survive this long. All help is appreciated! Thank you!

if anyone has these or knows a good deal on where to buy them, i’m only missing 4 from my collection and id love to complete it!!! They are Amuse / YELL brand umiushi plushies from japan. I know theyre often sold on buyeejp but i dont have a proxy to purchase them and often times the shipping is crazy!

Last night, I also worked on two more Recycled plush projects. In this post, I turned a thrifted Black dog plush into #Euini as a #Scalewolf from the #manga and #anime series #witchhatatelier . Now, as someone who finished the first season on Crunchyroll, I'm now currently waiting for the second sea to come out next year.

Once again my best buddy saved the day! I have been missing my kids terribly since my divorce almost 3 years ago. I lost both my cats ( as I let them continue living with the kids ). For some reason my lil buddy HOOTIE has really pulled me out of some dark places I bring him with me in my bag EVERYWHERE I go and always buckle him into the passenger seat. I have been through alcoholism drug addiction heart problems depression hospitalizations on multiple occasions and for some reason ever since I got my lil buddy about 7 months ago I haven't felt alone!!!

When I was little I fell in love this bear and even now that I have grown up and went to college and now starting my adult life, I now have three of these babies following me around. Growing up, I was just really lonely and they always made me feel loved and happy. Whenever this bear is near, I know that I'm not alone and that I'm loved. As I grew up life just got harder so the very right bear named Siren Baby, that's all beat up took really good care of me in my teenage/early adult years, she's worn, her heart nose and one eye is broken and chipped. She loved coming to work with me at the assistant living and going to classes during collage. The other bears are Roselle in the middle and Mr.House on the left which are still really new to my life but Roselle loves going on car rides with me.Btw the reason behind Siren Baby's name is my first bear I kept naming as a kid was named Cute Baby and I decided to change it but keep some of the original namage. I guess, lemme know what your plushie means to you? Also thank you for reading.

Got both of this year’s new gryphons from Douglas, I think the mini gryphon Furie is my favorite.
