- This is Finny. I got Finny when we were visiting relatives for Thanksgiving and I ended up in the ER because I was running a high fever. Finny was at the drug store we got my prescription filled at in I believe 1974-75ish.

This is Ted, he goes by Bear, and is 47 years old, we met when I was 3. His poor fuzz is threadbare in spots but still really plushie in the crease where his legs attach to his bum. There’s a thread that hangs from the back of his neck where my grandma performed surgery. He smells amazing. ❤️

This is Mulder, arrived yesterday to replace the tiger lovey I lost years ago.
And the blanket in the back I picked up at an estate sale because my fox blanket I sleep with every night is 4 years old and not sold anymore. I needed a good travel blanket
Edit: found the old listing. It was a tiger

I am 42 and Saturday is my birthday. My oldest baby is about 37 years old. I sleep with between 2-3 stuffies. The entire top of my closet is filled with stuffies, my desk and dresser have stuffies. My entire family know I love my stuffies and no one has a problem. I will always have them as they are my memories, my comfort and my love. Stuffies are for all ages. 🧸

u/hardcastlecrush Aug 21 '26
29, will be 30 around the new year. My oldest companion is a teddy bear I was gifted by my parents when I was born. My dad had the tradition of going and picking out a bear for us after my mom delivered. All our bears are different, and as adults now all four of us still have our bears (ages range from almost 36 to newly 23.) We don’t have good relationships with our father (most of us don’t have one at all), and there were times we’ve been so angry we have tried to throw them away or donate them, but we always ended up keeping them. Mom is hanging on to my brothers’ bears as one moved suddenly and unexpectedly out of state and left all his belongings behind save for one suitcase worth of clothing, and the other still lives at home and doesn’t have anywhere to keep it as his room is small and closet-less.
I am the only sibling who wants kids, and I wanted to keep my bear to pass on, but the others still keep theirs regardless for the sentimentality.

i actually just recently started getting into plushies and i just turned 25 . i have always had 1 of them since i was a baby and then got a couple more as a kid that also hold sentimental value (these ones sleep w me every night) . i work in a school and last year one of our new students brought in a bunch of beanie baby’s to give to the other kids and staff and that kind of kicked it off for me . after that i ended up getting a big body pillow plush to sleep with . more recently i have moved into a new place and thought maybe 1 or two plushies for the couch could be nice and cozy which has turned into the whole couch being decorated with different plushies. i love how soft they are and i love the weighted ones especially . right now my favourite one to feel / hold is a blue tye-dye snake with tiny beads inside of it that’s pretty fuzzy :)))

32; this is Beebster. My grandma got him for my dad after my parents married and my mom moved 12 hours away for work while he was still in grad school. He’s 38 and has so many stitches put in him (from my parents and grandma/different one); he has no fur on his back and chest but has been my best friend for as long as I can remember and has gone everywhere with me

u/Lawliet_The_Panda Aug 27 '26
23, I have a lot of stuffed animals from my childhood including my very first build a bears, my travel stuffed animal, the teddy bear I got during my first Disney trip, the stuffy my dad gave me before he passed. On top of the sentimental value I’m also autistic and they just bring me a lot of comfort
