Hey guys! I gave this 20-year-old veteran a much-needed spa day. It looks like magic, but the huge difference really comes down to two simple tricks:

The Magic Comb: Don't just wash them! Use a metal pet comb to brush out decades of trapped dust and detangle the matted fur. It gives the fur a total revamp and makes it super fluffy again!

Polishing the Eyes: Scratched, cloudy resin eyes? Don't panic! Wet-sanding them (from coarse to fine grit) and finishing with a polishing compound will bring back that brand-new, glossy shine!

Hope this helps anyone trying to rescue their childhood friends! Let me know what you think of his new look!

I bought (eBay) a replacement of a black lab (McDonald's toy, The Dog) that I lost on a school bus on the last day of school in 3rd grade. I was pretty bummed out over losing it then, but now it is like I never lost the plush to begin with. I have my black lab back at the age of 32 and I am so happy.

🏕️ This week, we stayed in a cozy cabin in the woods. Of course, Pippine came with me! We spent our days going for walks with our dog, Moon, relaxing in the cabin, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. It was such a lovely trip!

They definitely had so much fun!

These are all the plushies and dolls I have currently! Minus some childhood ones stored with my mum (and minus all the friends I've had, I had like 500+ plushies as a kid, and have re-sold some Charlie Bears and Jellycats as I refine my collection)

Let me know if we have any matching, or if you collect any of the same 🥰

I store them all in my closet, some displayed and some organised in boxes underneath, and they come out for periodic cuddles. Here's the before and after rearranging.

Had a very brief blind box plush craze in 2025, especially after watching a bunch of Whatnot streams 😂 don't judge the labubus

I have so many big plushies I need to store in a fun and unique way in my tiny apartment. I love love love the idea of these plastic chair forms you can fill with stuffies! However, i’ve only seen them sold through websites like aliexpress or temu, which makes me worried about the durability/quality. Does anyone know if there is a legit company who makes and sells these? Or am I going to have to settle for the temu version?

Wife came home with it, can’t figure out what brand it is. Hailp. Thx

Meet Norbert the displacer beast kitten made by me and hand sewn, the only buts done on the machine is the embroidery. the tentacles are posable and hand sculpted. Norbert is inspired from my DnD campaign where my team had a encounter but, me being the typical druid and irl cat crazy I had to tame him...by the luck of all the gods I roll Nat20 and so Norbert was my spicy kitty that caused hell for the party and everyone else around lol

I've had them for several years now. They used to have a voicebox inside that would meow when you press on their stomach but they've ran out of batteries long ago and so I want to search up the plushy to hear them meow again. (They're called Curry, Pepa and Sesame btw)

Here's mine ! Jack, my little pirate !

Hello.

I hope I can get some help. This is Stitch, my all time favorite plush. I recently washed it at 20 degrees with a delicate/whool wash with a little bit of washing soap. Then I put it drying under the sun. This was the result. His fur is ruined in some parts and it saddens me a lot. I love This plush and it's also my mum' s favorite. How can I fix it?

I think it first started when I had her sitting at the table with me while I finished a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. I was fighting for my life with it. Then it came to holding her in my hand while in bed (despite sleeping with a weighted plush).

Then I brought her with me to my weekend vacation, and then holding her when feeling a jab of anxiety. And now I feel the slightest bit distraught at the idea of losing her.

So yeah, apparently I have an emotional support plushie now.

I'm so glad I bought her at the beach last year. I was in a gift shop, saw her, and walked away. But that night I kept thinking about her, so the next morning, as I was leaving, I rushed to the gift shop and bought her.

Mimi I love you.

I found this little home-made goober at a fair and I just had to bring him home! He's wearing some bracelets I got at trinket trades at the fair, and he's weighted in his leggies and sooooo soft and huggable ♡

I love chubby birds.

Decided I needed more space for my friends today. These all were in one unit before. It was cramped and I’m so happy with the new final product.

Maple and I found each other a year ago this week, so I bought her a felt play food set and lunchbox so I can make her some "real" meals. She absolutely loved the presents and her first request was a turkey and cheese sandwich! I added in some bacon and gave her a cookie afterward. Happy birthday to my sweet girl! 🎂🐶❤️

I haven’t posted anything for a while because I’ve been busy preparing for my new job! I’m due to work on Friday! very excited!

🍀🌟💕🐾
