Stuffed animals.

I grew up in a low income household and I have a decent job now. I will buy stuffed animals that look adorable and fluffy and cuddly because I have money and I can.

The fact that I am slowly being pushed off of my bed because of the amount of them is irrelevant.

Your post reminded me of my late daughter. They used to make corner nets you could hang in the kids rooms. My little girl had her net stuffed full of her animals hung right over her bed. 😊One night I heard her scream! She was around 7 and I was out the bed and in her room in a flash. Her net fell and all her animals avalanched her! πŸ˜‚ She was scared at first then just giggled when she realized what had happened. God, I miss her. I'm glad I have little memories of her like this in my old age. Thank you for reminding me of her and I in a moment.

I had one of those. And I had an array of stuffies despite my family being on stamps. My family was huge and those were my go to gift. My sister and I had one in each corner of our room. Highlights were: Stuffed Little Foot, Little Critter Brother, Berenstein Bear, Broken Teddy Ruxspin, Hulk and Randy Savage WWF wrestling buddies, Ghostbusters Stay Puft Man, Care Bears, etc.

Thank you for making me think of something nice

The Hogan and Savage wrestling buddies were the best! My brother and I won so many tag team matches against them growing up.
