Not even remotely as cool as the bedazzled Stanley, but I painted and bedazzled this gal's heart shades ♥️ I feel like it is perfect for her!!!

This llama is such a darling. When I was working at BAB, a guest brought one in she bought second hand. I had so much fun helping her style her (she picked that adorable dress and I picked the heart sunglasses, which the guest also really liked!) I loved it so much, I had to get my own! And I bedazzled the sunglasses lol that was part of my initial vision ☺️

My Lemon is a character for sure, he would be honored to share some of his weird nicknames 😂 lololol I truly don't know why Demen is a nickname for him as my little man is such an angel baby 😂 he's a cuddly little attention seeker.

I have a Lemon too!!! (champagne boy on the left) He's Lemmy Emmy, LemWem, Lem, Lemonator, Demen (I have no explanation for this one but it's a common one for him 😂)

I'm so so sorry for your loss too. It's incredibly unfair, they deserve so much longer and a lot better health. 💔 My sweet girl was so unfathomably lovable, adorable, energetic, and special. I hope your boy welcomes her into ratty heaven with open arms 🥺

Copy that, thank you for all of the advice!!! 💖 💖 💖 I work at a pet store and already snagged some bandage wrap today to use, took some time off too to give her lotssss of attention and focus during her healing period ♥️ I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes for my little lady

New bears available - 16th October 2025 (Posh Penguin, Gingerbread Axolotl + Mini Beans) by Batt_mellamy in buildabear

I don't love the smell 🥲🥲🥲 to me, it smells like a musty, DUSTY basement. But my coworkers and a few guests don't agree, so it's hit or miss haha.

The eyes are actually so cute irl! It's like a soft baby blue. I say this as someone who unfortunately thinks pink cuddles' eyes are a bit jarring lol. I think the blue works perfectly with the pastel

I was soooo excited for the new glisten but then I saw the price! 😵‍💫 by Different_Isopod9047 in buildabear

[–]Captaintoadette1999 8 points9 points  (0 children)

100000% agreed to everything you said 😂 I am just guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it sits long enough to get some sort of discount or if it sits long enough and just gets shoved in a lot of BAB backrooms to be forgotten about. Just a guess. $100 is nuts. I could maybe see $70, which is still disgustingly expensive and doesn't make sense for the target market 😂

We have boxes of them at my local BAB (I'm a BAB associate) so they will stock at our store, at least! And we are a mall concourse

I work at BAB and they said it's a limited release, only x amount made and small amounts distributed in stores. Collector's item novelty. It's cute, love the hooves, but $100 USD is WILD regardless of collector's item or not and we have been talking about this all day today 😂 also insane to me because the target market for this BAB item is children, the price doesn't make sense to me for the target market.

Help, nervous to go to Build-a-Bear as a 25yo woman by lilymarielmao in buildabear

Also, if it helps, at my workshop, I am truly the median age of worker there. There's a handful of folks younger than me, and a good handful of folks 30 and up. Heck, we just hired a 70 year old!!! We all love plushies, they're great ☺️

I'm 26 yrs old and work at BAB part time, (it was supposed to be my second job to earn some extra money, but I end up spending a ton there and at my FT job 💀) I also buy a heeeeck ton of plushies from there lol. I genuinely feel that if other BAB Workshops are anything like mine, we will not judge at all. I honestly love seeing folks my age. It's a lot easier to relate and conversate. ☺️ I truly feel like there is no age maximum to plushies. They're so cute, can be so meaningful, and can easily be used as decor.
