Does anyone else love plush cuddly animal toys and find them very comforting? I find they are one of the most comforting things for me. I have about 200 of them and they all live on a big Ikea unit in my bedroom. Just wondered if anyone has a particular favourite one theyve had for years as well? My favourite is a pygmy hippo ( I love hippos) that I rescued from getting thrown out when I worked in a charity shop years ago
I have a cuddly tiger called Geoffrey from Hamleys in London. My dad brought him for me after I silently cried all the way around the shop when I had to put him back - he turns 28 or 29 this year and has been to Cyprus, Rome, Edinburgh and Wales.
Wow thats amazing that youve had him that long. Ive got a little elephant from hamleys but shes only 3
I totally get what you mean about finding comfort in them. There's something incredibly soothing about hugging a soft, cuddly friend.I've got a soft spot for a stuffed panda I've had since I was a kid. It's been with me through thick and thin, and it still brings a smile to my face.
it was the early Sixties and originally had eight legs and a squeeze bowl and tube to make him jump...
A few years ago I got a modern equivalent and thought about transferring the gear to make him jump again, then I remembered that I'm (alledgedly) an adult, so they just live together in a drawer now...
Bless him. Ive got a few like that that are quite bedraggled now but they mean so much to me.I have a little giraffe thats lost the fur on her nose
wow, thats amazing!
I've got a furry rubber spider called sammy who I've had for about 58 years now...
I do love Hamley's plushies - they're so soft and well made! Geoffrey is so old he's lost his nose and his roar but I can't be without him! He's going bald in places too!
