This is the blog where I catalogue my collection, research Beanies I want, and talk about how much I love stuffed animals just in general.
This is a pro-trans and anti-colonial blog.
While I like writing detailed posts about Beanies, there's no guarantee that the information I post is complete, comprehensive, or even necessarily accurate. This is just a hobby I have.
š About me:
I am an adult, I just like stuffed animals a lot. I've collected Beanies since I was a kid. Most of my collection is in storage but I have some ~500?
I buy almost all my Beanies from thrift stores.
š About my blog:
My content is PG! Stuffed animals are for kids, I just like them a lot. That said I don't recommend any kids visit Tumblr. Not everything you encounter on this blog, including usernames, notes, links and more are kid friendly.
I write original posts (I like posting Beanies on their birthdays) but I also have a que full of miscellaneous reblogs and pictures of my collection! I post almost daily.
šø Most photos are taken with a Samsung S73 camera šø
The time and date stamp is frequently wrong
š§µ See DIY Beanie Baby and Custom Beanie Baby for patterns š§µ
šļø eBay: The only truly accurate way to know the value of a plush, and almost always the cheapest place to buy! (To estimate value, look at "completed" listings-- people like to list Beanies for absurd amounts that don't sell.)
š„ļø BBToyStore: This is a great place to reliably find a Beanie's poem, birthday, and photo-- and then to buy a Beanie in good condition! It's a great research resource, and if you shop here, don't forget to add a free trading card or Teenie Beanie to your order! (They have a sister site that buys Beanies and other toys that's good for research as well.)
š§ Beanie Baby Price Guide (BBPG): The most complete catalogue of Beanie information I've found! They have fantastic tidbits on the history of a Beanie and frequently have pictures of the tags, too. Their database often lacks new Beanies.
š Beaniepedia: Similar to BBPG, Beaniepedia has lots of new Beanies that the Price Guide doesn't! Sadly this site doesn't work on my phone-- idk if it's a personal issue or if it's just not mobile friendly
š shop.ty.com: the modern iteration of ty.com is mostly shopping, no more games or anything... but they undoubtedly have the best prices on any Beanies in production. I also visit for the great descriptions, cute graphics, and, most importantly, a birthday calendar!
šļø Ty Plush Archive: Detailed information about the oldest Ty plush, plus a handful of other things. Fantastic resource for tags!
š Rarest Beans: A blog featuring cool Beanie prototypes that True Blue Beans has appraised! It's not a comprehensive list or anything, it's just a blog just like mine, but it's fun to look through!
I don't want to talk about the 1000 days because I died a thousand times over during those days. They ripped my soul from me, took my sanity, and killed everything beautiful I saw. It's just a number the world talks about today and forgets tomorrow, even though tomorrow will be worse because it's 1001, meaning tomorrow there will be death, hunger, fear, poverty, and oppression. Nothing will change except that we keep getting worse and worse and worse. The whole world is showing sympathy today, but tomorrow they'll forget, even as our extermination and killing continue.
Some Beanies think Grunt is tough
No surprise, he's scary enough
But if you take him home you'll see
Grunt is the sweetest Beanie Baby!
A "razorback" is a feral hog. Grunt, though, is almost certainly based on the University of Arkansas mascot. Read more about him in all of these trading cards!
Iām no different than you. I donāt long for war over peace, Iām not superhuman to bear the bombs, the famine, the heat, the loss of all sorts of comfort and of our dignity. Iām not more comfortable than you relying on other peopleās money, much less asking for it. I canāt make my heart not hurt when my little sister cries from hunger.
Imagine you, a normal person, suddenly having to feed your family of 10 with a single kilo of flour (on a good day) that cost $200. Imagine the stress and humiliation of paying $1,300 a month for a room with no electricity, no water, no windows, thatās infested with mice and cockroaches. Could you bear it? Weāre not handling the situation better than you would. Weāre breaking apart and we keep living because we must.
So please, if you understand how hard it is, help us. Itās okay if you only have $5 to give and itās okay if you donāt even have that, if you can only share. Just please donāt ignore us. Imagine being a normal person in these circumstances, and people ignore your calls for help.

It's an Oranda Goldfish! Of course, it is not 100% biologically accurate-- I have taken creative liberties to make him work well as a plushie :)
I've been working on getting this design perfected to my liking with my manufacturer for months, and I'm so happy to get to share it now! He's very chubby and squishy IRL, and the scruffy head is absolutely adorable IMO!

Oh my God... that moment still haunts me to this day. I was sitting beside my husband Ahmed in the hospital bed, holding his hand and praying to God to ease his pain, when suddenly he lost consciousness right before my eyes. I completely broke down, crying and begging God to save him.
I cry every day from the weight of this heartbreak. I stand beside my husband with nothing but prayer, watching his pain and feeling my heart shatter because I cannot do more to save him. I try to stay strong for my little girl, but there are moments when I weaken as I imagine her life without her father. All I want is a chance to save Ahmed, a chance for him to remain a father to our daughter and a husband to me, and for us to see a better day after all this pain.
The doctor told me that Ahmedās condition is critical, that the cancer is spreading rapidly through his body, and that his only hope for treatment is to get him out of Gaza as soon as possible to receive urgent medical care. Since that moment, I have been living in constant fear, terrified that I may lose my husband at any moment.
Getting Ahmed out of Gaza for treatment is extremely costly, and we need to raise more than $25,000 to cover the urgent medical expenses and give him the chance he desperately needs. Every moment matters, and we are racing against time to save his life.
Our little daughter cries every day, calling for her father. She does not understand what cancer means, but she feels his pain and clings to him with all her strength. All she wants is for her father to stay by her side, and for this war and this illness not to take him away from her.
As for me, I am suffering from severe malnutrition because of the famine and the war. My body has become weak, but I keep holding myself together in front of my daughter so she does not feel the full extent of the pain we carry inside.
I say this from the depths of my heart: I will never forget everyone who read my words, saw my familyās suffering, and chose to turn away without even sharing our story. A simple share may help our voice reach someone who can save Ahmedās life.
You are our only hope. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share could be the reason our story reaches someone able to help us.
Please, do not leave us alone. Ahmedās life is in your hands. Help us reach our goal as quickly as possible and save Ahmed before it is too late. Give our little daughter the chance to keep her father by her side.

In the pasture where I graze
Its the best on sunny days
On the days if there is rain
I stay in and eat my grain
"Herdly is "udderly" excited to meet a new friend. Always hanging around in the barn, this sweet, spotted cow is adorable and soft as can be. Herdly is always ready to snuggle up and watch a mooovie!" - shop.ty.com description
I'll run and jump and catch a ball
And come for you when you should call
After we play we'll snuggle, too
'cause I get sleepy just like you !

Hi, my name is Mosab , and Iām from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today Iām sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasnāt been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from usā25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their loveā¦ all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far
When I first reached out, I couldnāt have imagined weād make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, weāre reminded of how much weāve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Hereās what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
š Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
š¢ Loss: The absence of the 25 family members weāve lost is a pain we carry every moment.
š Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, itās a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ā¤ļø

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isnāt just about helping us meet our goalāitās about reminding us that weāre not alone in this fight. Itās about hope. Itās about survival. And itās about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, Iām endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude,
Mosab and Family ā¤ļø
