Tell us about your teddies

Seeing as we are cuddly people here, I imagine many of us have (or have had) a beloved stuffed animal or blankie. Care to introduce us? Tell us some warm fuzzy stories about them? I guess I'm feeling a bit silly this evening and hoping for some cozy stories to warm me up on a chilly winter's day. :)

This is my fluffy friend (well, it's what he would look like if he hadn't been so well loved for the past 25+ years). My grandpa found him at a thrift store and we've been besties since I was 2 or 3 years old. My mom named him Edward after an A.A. Milne poem, but in my mind his name is Ebward because I learned his name before I could pronounce it. He's an excellent cuddler. :)

    I don’t so much sleep with this piece but I wanted to share the plush Minnie I found one day outside a parking lot. I don’t have any special link to Minnie or Disney characters but I just felt like a lucky person when I found this plush and nobody was around to claim it, I couldn’t help but just bring it home. Washed it prior to having it now sit on my vanity. It just reminds me of how lucky I felt that day (not sure why but I generally feel blessed so maybe it was just another day to me) and I’ll joke to some that it’s a reminder to me to embrace my feminine side (I grew up with girls but never felt like a girl and now I have a baby boy on the way so it’s gonna be important to me not to forget my feminine side lol)

    I sent this picture to my friends half joking telling them to tell me not to buy this because I was buying my new house and shouldn't spend my money on non nescary things (moved in a month ago) ended up getting TWO of them as house warming gifts they are huge and fluffy and I love them. I felt silly at first being a grown woman with two giant unicorn squishmallows but man do I love them

    Here is my Ele! 🐘
    Someone won him for me on a trip at a Barcade in San Diego! How sweet. I used to have lots of stuffed animals but they would take up all the room on my bed. Now I stick to Ele and no, I am not embarrassed to say that I still shweep with a stuffed animal. 😇❤️

    What a great idea for a thread! My original teddie that I had as a child is long gone. He was a bear and had only one eye, my mother sewed on a button to replace his missing eye. However, now I'm much older, I have quite a few stuffed animals. Here are two of my favourites. The racoon or whatever animal it is supposed to be is simply called "The Man", he is very cuddly and will patiently listen to all of your problems. The platypus, who came all the way from Australia, is called "Mr PlattaWatta" and is very wise but does not say much since he is the strong quiet type.

    @MissAlwaysMe squishmallows are the best!! I just bought a jumbo blue dragon yesterday! I love that they’re plushies but also work great as pillows and stuff. No shame!!

    Mine is one of those chucky dolls they used to have a Spencers, one day while i was sick in highschool i painted his face to look like Violent J from ICP. I'd post a picture but i don't want to scare anyone lol 😋 not all cuddle buddies have to be adorable!

    Omg! @Scarxlett I have an Ele too! My best friend was my valentine and we got each other small gifts. So I got us matching elephants.

    This is my son Blobert De Niro! I just got him for my birthday. Isn’t he handsome???

    This is my absolute favorite thread!

    Also, @FunCartel that is too funny! I just woke up my roommates by ugly laughing!

    Edit: Don’t worry, he doesn’t come to cuddle sessions with me! 😂

  • MissAlwaysMeMissAlwaysMe

    It's funny because the title for this post totally got me like "welp someone is gonna get talked to" well done :p loving all the stuffed posts...and I do use my squishmallow as a pillow :)

    @MissAlwaysMe once I was talking to someone about meeting up to cuddle and she said she was going to bring her teddy. I thought well it's not that kind of cuddle I thought she knew that 😂

  • plantqueenplantqueen

    I’m worried my Blobert was so handsome that people are too shy to show their teddies now. 😂

    @MissAlwaysMe - I was going to say I don't have the right physique for a teddy, but then the conversation went a whole different direction... :)

    Stuffies! @UKGuy I love that the platypus is the strong silent type. I could totally tell when I saw him.

    This is Cody. I made him at Build-A-Bear Workshop on December 26th 2003. Cody is 16 years old. You can see by his shirt that Cody loves Basketball.

    I sleep with a stuffed piggy (Pua from the movie Moana) and a GIANT (like, bigger than me) teddy bear. I rest my head on my teddy bears arm, teddy spoons me and I hug piggy. It's very comforting ☺️

    I love having found this community that is so relatable!! ☺️☺️☺️

    Edit: I read some of the other comments about the thread title and was confused trying to figure out what they meant... when I read the title my mind went straight to plushie stuffies!! Haha, but I get it now... I think 😄
