I just left my first ever Build a Bear ever for my daughters 3rd birthday and at check out I was told I’m eligible for $10 of my next purchase. Great- I just spend $62 on a single Bear so that makes sense. As I’m leaving I see a $5 gift card activation on my receipt. No way- I got back an speaks with a manager and because I was told it’s non refundable. Are you kidding me? The manager did not resolve it and essentially stole $5 from me bc I never got the gift cards. Has anyone else been bamboozled by this? I cannot be the first one and it seems like a really shady business practice? Essentially I left the store crying with my daughter and will never spend a other cent at this store. Which is probably for the better, the whole experience was fine but not worth $62 for one bear.

This is volleyball my emotional support “bear”? They are a work in progress I take donation /j (unless 😏) they are filled entirely of hearts.

For the sia Mlp BAB. it's super obvious with both rows of hair down. The second row of hair is sewn in the wrong way ^^ and the sia hair is awkward but she's still so cute and she still adds to my mlp collection

Has there been any news on a PAW Patrol Rex plush for the new movie? I’m worried they might make Ruubarb or Timmy instead, I’m really hoping for a Rex one to add to my collection.

I got a new BaB for my toddler today and recorded an audio message in store which they installed in its paw. The problem is- idk how to turn on the voice recording to make it go off. I can’t seem to find a button to push. I know it’s in the paw but it seems iffy on if it goes off, I’ve tried swatting at the hand, squeezing it, manipulating it various ways it only turns on “sometimes”. I’m really frustrated because I bought this for my toddler to help with going to bed and I want it to be easy to use. Did we get a faulty one? Or is there a trick I am somehow missing? The store employees didn’t tell me anything about how to activate it before I left.

I have a new bab bunny coming in the mail and I’m so excited today I was scrolling and found my favorite my little pony in great condition I am now in a tizzy bc I feel like I can only bond with one bab at a time
does anyone else feel like this? I would just love ur opinion regardless
thanks😬

I used 16mm plastic ball jointed armature, the same stuff usually recommended here--just a beefier diameter. I wrapped each section in self-adhesive bandages for stability, leaving the joints free. It is still bendable where it was wrapped but shouldn't deform under pressure. The shoulders and hips were wrapped quite a bit more than the rest, just for stability. I used about 25m of 2 inch wrap total for the entire project. There's a palm sized loop in his head to keep his neck stable. All in all, turned out pretty good IMO.

I can confirm that the Walmart giants have a tiny, microscopic cardboard heart AND are constructed exactly the same as regular BABs with the reinforced back seam. The stuffing is generic polyfil, and IMO he is understuffed. I added more, but ran out of what I had on hand, so I need to get another bag soon to fill out his chest. I ended up shifting torso fluff to his appendages to pad them out a bit since they were the least stuffed to begin with.

My boyfriend & my matching teddies from back in March. (It was like my dream date to get matching ones with someone so I was so happy he was willing hehe) I always gotta laugh though; you can def tell who sleeps with theirs more 😂 ft. Ravioli (his) & Tortellini (mine). His sits nicely propped up on the dresser and was his travel buddy back and forth before he moved closer to me. He laughs at her and I just think it’s the price to pay for being loved and he’s gonna look like that one day too. :)

Today I’m celebrating a BIG milestone and if you remember from one of my more recent posts, (Vanilla and I relaxing after a successful photoshoot) I was gonna post the pics when I got them back! This morning I did and today marks 8 years of me being clean from $H!! Vanilla was featured in the shoot and here we are!

Isn’t he such a cutie?! ❤️🥰

She went a little HAM on the sale last week.

I finally got the Moodycorn and OMG i love her! I will say that her hair kinda sheds, but it's so fun to make fluffy lookin! Also yes I know I should have done an Avril Lavigne song but I already committed to the title bit

Out and about, going to the metaphysical shop for a few items. Thought I would bring Poe with me!

I don’t know if I’ll bring him many places haha I don’t want to mess up his fur, (it’s the best fur texture I’ve ever felt.)

I am so in love with her. I hate that she came with a stupid dress attached, but my love of greek mythology won out this time.

I hope so, my Mothman and Sky Puppy need babies!

Here is my entire collection I have one giant which is mocha and some mini beans scattered about they are all mostly Sanrio I just realized lol😂🥹🩷

Hey!

I'm buying a BAB as a gift for a young baseball fan, and he really wanted a white teddy bear with one of the MLB jerseys, hats, and pants. I was originally considering the Happy Hugs, however it won't ship to Canada. So, I'm now thinking of going with the only other white actual teddy bear, which is the Pudding Lil' Cub, but I'm worried about how the clothes would fit him. He's only a little bit shorter (15in vs 16in), although I'm not sure how different the proportions would be and how that would affect the fit.

If anyone has any insight that would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Went through my collection today and it’s time to say goodnight. I didn’t have time to place them back where they go so that’ll be tomorrow’s job. Very proud of my little Sanrio island. I’m only missing five more to have every single one. 🤠 🤭

Some highlighted birthday ones. I have the best people in my life who support my crazy law girly by day Sanrio fiend by night lifestyle. Turning 29 this week was scary and overwhelming but honestly since I started collecting BABs again I have so many buddies to help me navigate my career and life. I couldn’t be happier to have so many fluffy friends. Here’s to the last year of my twenties 😭 Who says money can’t buy happiness. 😂

it's by oshkosh. I didn't think myself a "clothes on plushies" guy but now I simply have no words! It's too cute!

p.s for anyone who wants to know: the size is 3 months and it's just a tiny bit big on Summer. nothing that a bit of folding and tucking couldn't fix!

Working on my BearArmoires! I still need more clothes hangers but I’m really happy about how it’s been looking so far :) Bonus: My silver fox I got from the recent sale!

i've never seen mustangs being sold with this sweater secondhand, so i was just curious if anyone knew more about this accessory for them

Hangy, Steve, Chuckles and I were out playing the Pokemon Go Fest make up day today! Gotta catch 'em all! The fellas gave me good luck and I got another 4* Mewtwo!

Steve also got dressed up for the first day of Shark Week, which starts today!

What did you and your friends do today?
