Bellzi
Discover some of our favorite stuffed animals at Bellzi! Weâre absolutely enchanted by Bellziâs delightful collection of super cute plushies. These plush toys are meticulously crafted for both consistency and charm, making them akin to the âFunko Pop of Plushies.â Theyâre perfect for adorning your space as delightful display companions. The only minor drawback is that they may not be the coziest cuddle companions.
Pros
- Super Cute
- Great Decorations
- Consistent Across Various Designs
Cons
- Relatively Stiff
- Larger Plushies contain unneeded branding

Douglas Cuddle Toys
Are you on the hunt for unique and less common stuffed animals? Weâve been there! Sometimes, our fascination with a particular animal friend goes beyond the generic âcatâ or âdog.â While these traditional choices make wonderful Emotional Support Stuffed Animals (ESSAs), they may not quite capture the essence of your desired animal. Enter Douglas, your go-to source for exquisitely crafted creatures that you wonât find just anywhere! Be sure to explore their enchanting collection, including the adorable little opossum.
Pros
- Great Selection of Animals
- Make Great âCar Friends,â or âPurse Friends!â
Cons
- Some Inconsistency in Design Philosophy
- Lots of Texture variation for sensory issues.

GUND
Iâm absolutely enchanted by the softness and squishiness of every stuffed animal I encounter. While the other stuffed animals on this list are wonderfully crafted, I have to admit that GUND surpasses them all in terms of sheer softness. Its truly indescribable in pictures, but imagine, just for a moment, that youâre wrapped in the embrace of a fluffy cloud â thatâs precisely what a GUND bear feels like. The only minor drawback weâve noticed is the higher price point of these adorable little creatures in retail stores. If youâre looking for some pocket-friendly options, consider checking them out on Amazon or GUND.com. Youâll be thanking me later.
Pros
- SUPER SOFT
- Extremely well crafted
Cons
- Expensive

Warmies
Warmies hold a special place in my heart as some of the most incredible comfort animals available. These little companions arenât just soft; theyâre also microwaveable! Yes, you heard that right! Pop them in the microwave for a one-of-a-kind warm hug experience. Whatâs more, they come with the added comfort of being weighted by soothing lavender-scented beads.
However, itâs worth noting that Warmies require a bit of special care. Unlike other stuffed animals, they canât be easily washed. Washing them the same way youâd wash your other stuffies can lead to their beads clumping together into an unfortunate mess. Itâs a tragic fate for what are otherwise some of the most fantastic cuddle buddies youâll find.
Pros
- Microwavable
- Lavender Scent
- Weighted
Cons
- Not the Cutest Stuffed Animals Around
- Easy to Damage

Fluff N Stuff
This brand is tricky to find, but you can sometimes find them in Target Stores, or on Ebay. We love the cute design of their little plushies, and they always sit there politely. Theyâre always sitting gracefully, quietly observing your day-to-day tasks or resting elegantly on any shelf. If you want to add that extra spice of cute decor to your room, look no further than Fluff Nâ Stuff!
Pros
- Adorable Decorations
- Relatively Cheap
Cons
- Difficult Brand to Contact
- Relatively Stiff

TastyPeach Studios
Do you have a passion for collecting sets of stuffed animals? We certainly do! TastyPeachâs collaboration with Aurora makes it incredibly convenient for fellow stuffed animal enthusiasts, like us, to expand our collections. Their designs align perfectly with the Kawaii aesthetic, offering a plethora of colors and variations in the same charming form. We absolutely adore this brand! You can often find their delightful creations on Kickstarter, or simply explore their diverse collection.
What makes TastyPeach even more special is that they are a relatively smaller and newer player in the stuffed animal creation scene, just like us! However, itâs worth noting that while their plushies are charming, they may not be as soft as some other options available in the market. Additionally, some designs might bear a resemblance to Bugcat.
Pros
- Collectable
- Kawaii Aesthetic
- Smaller Brand
Cons
- Not Super Cuddly
- Name System Makes Them Harder to Order

Jellycat
If you ask any avid stuffed animal collector about their favorite brand, Jellycat is likely to come up often. While we personally may not have a collection of Jellycat plushies due to our design preferences, we must acknowledge their exceptional craftsmanship. Jellycat produces incredibly well-crafted, delightful stuffed animals that are perfect for gifting to children or keeping as cherished companions for a long time.
Their solid construction and wide range of playful designs make them a standout choice in the world of plushies. However, itâs worth noting that the quality comes with a price tag.
Pros
- Long Lasting
- Well Crafted
Cons
- Expensive
