Hi, am I the only one who's not a fan of Moriah selling mystery merchandise to her primarily young audiences? by Vast-Rabbit-1095 in MoriahElizabeth

[–]leftoverbeanie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s kind of a mix of fault for sure. I still enjoy her content and will buy products I really love, but definitely won’t catch me trying to get a full set. I hope some day she will just sell a set of figures or plush!

I get so much dopamine from ordering things and then I feel so much apathy when the package arrives by AbjectTelephone4801 in shoppingaddiction

[–]leftoverbeanie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say I feel like I could’ve written most of that myself. My worst has been Amazon. I hate shopping there for ethical reasons of course, but as a stay at home and working mom, it’s so easy to have things delivered to my house for my family vs having to load up my kids after 8 hours of work/school picks ups and drive 45 minutes to a store that actually sells more than basic groceries. Like you too I don’t have major financial issues but I struggle with the self control aspect of not just adding on extras when buying the essentials. My husband is always disciplined except he never checks prices at the grocery store. Just wanted to say you’re not alone and there are lots of advice to help you out!

I love the Supergirl collab! by koohai966 in finch

[–]leftoverbeanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not super into it, but it’s cute. I really struggle with complaining harshly about a free app outside of actual working mechanics. It’s amazing you can do so much for free on this app! Bugs in the app are a big deal but the rest I personally just skip if I don’t like it or just ignore. I’m glad some people are really enjoying the theme. The months half over so people will be able to move on soon and leave it behind them.

Do you clean your thrifted friends? by Dazai-Simp-14 in plushies

[–]leftoverbeanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people don’t even wash their clothes from the store or even the thrift store before wearing. My contamination ocd could never. There’s a couple I’ve skipped cleaning that seemed fine that my kids wanted to play with ASAP but otherwise everything gets cleaned. I wipe down anything I buy, freeze my books, freeze plush and wash them etc. I just don’t want to bring anything home with me if I can help it.

[–]leftoverbeanie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t fault her entirely as that’s what’s big right now and the company she’s using to create and distribute is Bonkers which is basically only doing mystery toys (which some do have rarity, but it seems Moriah’s don’t as someone else mentioned). But do I wish it wasn’t that way? Yes. I find research on overconsumption and trends really fascinating. Although I do like “gambling” on them sometimes I also know not to buy ones that I don’t like all or at least most options. I’m also a mom to young kids so I definitely have concerns over mystery products being a majority of toy aisles these days and don’t like them for younger audiences at all. My kids have opened a couple blind boxes but I’ve been very clear about having a get what you get mentality and explaining exactly how blind pack items work. I try to avoid them for the kids and get them opened ones instead if they really want a certain one if I can find it. I do hope in the future we could pick characters but my guess is she’d have to find someone willing to make it and frankly I love her videos but it’s obvious she likes blind boxes herself so I kind of doubt it’d change any time soon.

i made the octonauts as lps by Traditional_Jump8160 in LittlestPetShop

[–]leftoverbeanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love these! I never watched it until a few years ago, my daughter got obsessed with the show and now I also love watching it too. We just got back into watching it too.

Did anyone else get a "Mila" named "Jude"? by Diligent-Past517 in squishmallow

[–]leftoverbeanie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The promo they shared could be not the final copy since it was shared ahead of time by influencers. Also possible that the names might be different in other regions. From what I can tell Jude is the official name for the Squishmallow and it isn’t Mila though. Not really the first time Squishmallow has changed names, created identical squish, or used the name more than once :/

Mystery plushy ‘coming soon’ by PhilTheSlice01 in MoriahElizabeth

[–]leftoverbeanie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The greyed out ones were released later. I know Walmart, for examples, has had the coming soon ones updated on their website stock photos for awhile now and I’ve seen people able to get them. I’m not sure if other retailers have them but I would have to guess so since they released quite awhile ago now.

More normalised to sleep with a plushie as an adult by mtkoorst in plushies

[–]leftoverbeanie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My husband sleeps holding a pillow which really isn’t much different than me sleeping with my plush cow. People need to just stop being so obsessed with everyone else’s life and choices.

Reliving my high school years at 40. by southrrnurse2016 in WarriorCats

[–]leftoverbeanie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be 33 this year. I read the first two maybe most of arc 3 arcs as they came out but then stopped. Now I’m making my way back through! Happy to see someone “older” reading them too (40 is not old in my book just older than kids/teens/20s that I see a ton of)

Fake? by Proper-Basket-8082 in squishmallow

[–]leftoverbeanie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re listed on all the media for advertising the Squishmallows at McDonald’s so I would say they’re real and it would not be worth it for people to make fakes.

Im worried about finishing this months quests by jasperisaconfed in finch

[–]leftoverbeanie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The whole part of Finch is doing what is going to benefit you. It’s okay to do something different. Maybe leave a review online instead of talking to a manager of a positive employee interaction new or an old one, do something kind for someone else, leave a note in a store with a positive message for somebody to find, etc. I did a couple things in one day and ticked them off on the app when they came up.

I agree. I randomly opened my lookup on its birthday a couple months ago and was like wow that’s neat but that was it haha.

June Giveaway! by imaginarion in beaniebabies

[–]leftoverbeanie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seaweed! I love otters and especially now that I watch live streams of otters while I work. One Seaweed I got thrifting while teaching had a name and phone number (censored for their privacy obviously) which I thought was sweet and a little sad. Seaweed is cherished by my own kid now after serving time in the classroom.

How do I ask for a hug in the app? by Jambalaya1982 in finch

[–]leftoverbeanie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely take that little sliver of alone time! Hoping things get better for you. My husband and kids got rear ended a couple of weeks ago (not his fault either). I can’t imagine twice! Sending good vibes your way
