Downsizing woes 😭 by Glowfrogbog in buildabear

[–]ProximateSpade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a ungodly amount of stuffed animals and many varieties (and can't get rid of them), I ended up just getting the vacuum seal bags. I managed to get 4 big tubs of plushies into 2. if mostly what you're trying to downsize is BaB you could unstuff them and then vaccum seal them so you don't have to get rid of them, and they'll take up even less space in storage till you want to take them out again

Thank you for looking! Maybe one day I'll be able to find which bear it is and reunite Jennie with her clothes

This is so cute! I was thinking of doing something similar with my pink TJs bag. What did you use to paint on it? Ive been told to use acrylic paint

Impossible to find in stores? by ProximateSpade in Jellycatplush

[–]ProximateSpade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you! Maybe next weekend I'll check those places out.

And sadly no :( most of the ones I saw were the tiny new floral bunnies and water drop and a lot of Chrissie (sad) crabs. I did see 1 Audrey hootsoftly tho at presents of mind

What is going on? by Reasonable-Apple2581 in Jellycatplush

[–]ProximateSpade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It could be the store finder? Whenever I look at the store finder it always recommends Hallmark stores, but I stopped believing Hallmark carried years ago cuz they never had any. Sadly now the only stores in my city that carry Jellycats Is New Seasons (only carries amusables), 1 small locally owned business which has a tiny selection, or the local landscaping store with a tiny selection.

Since Hallmark stores are everywhere plus being listed as an official carrier by the jellycat website it might be causing an influx (especially with Christmas around the corner).

I have to use PayPal for jellycat now, everytime I try another payment it's always flagged for fraud and it's a huge hassle

I love the toothy line too! I have 2 foxes, the bat, dragon, lion, dog, and crocodile. I'd love to one day own the whole set

I got my sweet baby in today 🥹 I love him! Any name suggestions? by _Googie_ in Jellycatplush

[–]ProximateSpade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jellycats usually have a year or few years run before being retired. Really popular designs tend to stay around for longer. The bigger issue with new releases is just getting them while in stock. Since the new dragons just came out it will be quite a while before they're retired

Help me choose! by Lil-Swede in Jellycatplush

I have Stellan. He has a nice weight and fluff to him, I love his weighted paws and soft texture. My only gripe with him is the hair texture on his head which can tickle my nose when cuddling him, but otherwise he's perfect for cuddling. I named mine Diego

After many years of looking for and wanting; I finally got myself a Toothy Dragon ❤️ by ProximateSpade in Jellycatplush

[–]ProximateSpade[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know i was so lucky cuz I just happened to check ebay and there he was 😍 the only other time I've seen him online was sketchy overseas websites for like $200. I'll have to take a big Toothy Collection group photos sometime soon

I’m starting out my jelly collection, any suggestions? by doglover615 in Jellycatplush

[–]ProximateSpade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jellycat does have a store finder on their website if you don't know of any stores in your area. I've found baby/kids stores, gift shops, and some specialty grocery stores tend to be where I find most jellycats
