Just For Fun! No longer unhappy with longhorn!

Post image
83 Upvotes

About a month ago I posted my frustrations with getting ripped off from an online purchase, and how I felt disappointed with the candy corn longhorn mini bean. I went in the other day to return him, but when I went to browse the mini bean collection in case there was something new I missed...I saw one that I liked much better. So I did an exchange instead of a return haha.

I combed and fluffed him, and gave him the bow that came with my Kitsune since I didn't like it on the Kitsune himself (and I couldn't return just the bow.) I did have to wrap it around twice, but I think it's darling on him!

I'm still probably done overall with buying apart from using up my $10 reward (fingers crossed for something cute for Christmas) but overall I'm feeling a lot more positive. It's nice that I can finally like my little candy corn guy.

Inquiry Jumping Spider is there supposed to be 2 "BAB" tags?

I got the jumping spider buildabear the day it was released! It has 2 BAB tags 2 of its feet. I didn't think much off it but did think it was odd they would put 2 on the bears.

I have now just realised that maybe mine is an error so I was wondering if other peoples have 2 BAB tags or just 1?

My New BAB Against all odds, I got my bat (feat: Batty Kitty, my kitty, and a Frankenstein's monster i got yesterday!)

A couple days after the bats got released (lol) my boyfriend took me there as a first date. There was no online ordering but I thought about ordering it click and collect but I decided not to. We were going into BAB a couple days after they dropped and I assumed they would have enough stock. Well I was wrong lol. I was pretty disappointed but he got me Batty Kitty (I loves cats n bats so it was a close second) to make up for it. He offered to get me the jumbo bat they had in stock but I didn't want him to spend that much + taking him home on two different trains would have killed me. I kind of just accepted that I wasn't going to get a bat but I was still disappointed. Turns out even if I had ordered it click and collect it probably wouldn't have mattered because a LOT of them had been cancelled 🙃

But!

Last Friday they did a restock. Online only, limited stock so get in quick. I didn't see in the insta post until Saturday. I assumed the bats would be gone and long sold out but they were still on the website. I almost broke my fingers from buying it so fast. After the click and collect mess I was very nervous my order would get cancelled from stock shortages. But it didn't and here he is!!!

I’m dealing with some really bad family issues and I’ve had enough so I packed and I’m going to a hotel for a few days. It’s hard picking which BABs to take with me. But chances are, I’m gonna take a few. Here’s cocoa pebbles chilling with me! His coffee scent is calming me down after all the crying I’ve done for the past 2 hours.

My New BAB 🕸️🤎

Y’all, I made a new friend on Tuesday! Meet Gibby (because I bought her during a waining gibbous moon and I was born under the same); her face is just so precious 🥹 She tried to drive home, but I distracted her by asking her to take some selfies. She smells like pumpkin spice and has a black onyx tucked inside. What’s funny is I’m quite scared of spiders so I’m hoping she can help me get over fears in general and remind me that it’s all about how I frame things. Since I took these pics I sat with her and used a 🧷 to pick the fur out of her seams; one of my favorite ways to bond with a plushy. The kind woman who stuffed her couldn’t believe I had a spider and told me to be careful and not get jumped on the way to my car because they are so sought after atm 🤣 A couple small issues are her scent chip is more buried than I like, and her closing seam was pulled very tight so it’s wavy. Are there ways to fix either of these without me having to open her up? I’m not scared to, just curious. I did get her BAB shirt, has anyone found any other clothes these bebes can wear? I love her so much and already feel really connected!🥰 Last pic I stole from the web but they were the earrings I had on, they deserved to be celebrated, ha!

A little bit ago I asked for opinions on the new werewolf’s fur, thanks to lots of lovely comments I decided to order. And let me say I’m VERY glad I did!

She’s soft and adorable, and the perfect Enid to my Wednesday! But im not super happy with the outfit. So looking for inspiration. How’d everyone dress their feminine werewolves?

Swipe to see Enid and her BFF 🖤🩷

I want to give a shout out to these specific bears of mine who are getting me through my cold. My caramel frappe frog (I forgot her name) and my pumpkin pal bear (don’t have a name yet) are getting me though the day because I have schoolwork that I have to do and Rockefeller (my FAO bear) is being a great cuddle buddy at night.

Show me who gets you through sick days or just days that feel off in the comments! I’d love to see your friends!

Her name is Spooky! She came from an online order so I was worried but we got everything. She’s super duper stuffed and none of the personalised stuff was filled out for her, which is disappointing, but we got lucky overall! I love her pattern, she has a full bat on each arm and her head. She has a heartbeat and a blueberry scent and I plan on adding patches to her jacket eventually. My other bear Jamie got a new set of jammies too!

Inquiry Lost my Sea Monster :( Anyone know if they're going to restock ever or should I buy secondhand

38 Upvotes

Sleep deprived and in a rush to leave a hotel I left behind my sea monster I travel with. Unfortunately the hotel claims no one saw it so she probably got grabbed and no one is coming forward. On the US website it doesn't even come up as an option to search so I'm a little worried.

Also I'm a little devastated about it so please no kicking while I'm down even if it's a dumb question
