My favorite plush when I was little was this blue bear his name is Christmas I carried him everywhere I went my parents told me I got him on my 1 year old birthday in November of 2001 my earliest memory getting Christmas. I went in to our living room and I saw a bunch of boxes I decided to look in all the box and there he was hiding in one of the boxes he's also traveled near and far he even went to Disneyland I was absolutely obsessed with this bear I could not go to sleep unless I had him he is irreplaceable he lost his tag from many Washings in the washing machine so I don't even know what brand he is he will forever be my one of a kind Blue Bear named Christmas PS my sister made the sweater when she just started learning crochet
 
Mine was my Tigger. I still have him. I got him when I was two days old from my dad and he been with me ever sense. He looks like Frankenstein with all the stitching and patching done to him over the years but I love him more than anything.
 
Littlefoot. I gave him to my daughter, that's how old he is.

I bet I know what you're talking about :) was he on the larger size, in kinda a sitting position? I had that plush as a child, and I actually think I still have him packed up somewhere, he was cuddly <3

When I was really little I had one of these as my lovey, this thing was what I slept with and carried around for comfort, I loved to start at one side of the satin trim and work it through my hand following it around to the other end, I guess it was a weird sensory thing but it was so soft :happyhearts:

I also remember wanting a Hallmark Crayola Easter bunny, with his cute lil' overalls and I never got one :( but a few years ago I finally bought one off ebay to satisfy my inner 8 year old self LOL I never realized before but I guess I had a thing for bunnies :bunny:
 
My Teddy, Cabbage Patch and “blankie” have all been with me for nearly my whole life and still live with me. I hope everyone is ready for some fun 80’s throwback photos. Lol

My Cabbage Patch was a birth gift from a family friend, I honestly don’t know the full story of it, I’ve just always kept her for some reason.

My “Bambi blankie” is a blanket my Mom made for me while she was pregnant and apparently never got to finish because I was born. Common lady, you’ve had 38 years to complete this project!! I’m joking of course. But my blankie has been very very loved and has been everywhere with me over the years and still in my bed to this day.

Lastly, my most precious and beloved “Teddy.” My bear has been with me since I was two and was a gift from my Opa (grandfather). The story is, my family were at the airport on our way to visit family in Germany, as my family boarded the plane, my Opa was no where to be seen. Now he was a very tall and large man so he was very difficult to loose. As we all sat in our seats on board, the flight crew did a last call in the airport for my Opa who was distracted purchasing something in a store. In comes this giant of a man down the aisle of the plane with a smallish brown bear for me. Since this day Teddy has travelled the world with me, had fancy dress up parties, been on many adventures, many shopping outings, lots of stays in hospitals, doctors visits, he’s been by my side for well over 30 years now and to be honest I can’t imagine life without him. Now he’s spending his time riding upon Twilight Sparkle’s back loving his older years.

Teddy on his noble steed because I’m afraid of him getting further damaged if he stays in bed.

I had a few.
Popples- it was the pink/purple rockstar- she's missing :(
A white bear with silver tinsels and a silver bowtie. I had added a clip to the tie that I either put on the ear when I felt like having a female friend, or at the neck when I wanted a male friend. He's in storage.
Nosey Bear- Popcorn. I have him displayed.
a Raccoon puppet I got from camping trip in Martha's Vinyard. He stays on my bed. You can see he’s well loved

Yes, Lelly :)

She was named by the company that made her (original, I know), but I was just a small child and I thought that just because "Lelly" was written on the tag on her leg, that MUST be her name!
I've had her for as long as I can remember. If my memory serves me right, she was a gift to my aunt from her boyfriend (or maybe it was a friend, I'm not sure lol), but as a child I absoluetly ADORED cats and once I saw her I fell in love with her so my aunt gave her to me.
She has been with me ever since! She traveled anywhere with me and I still sleep with her to this day.
One time I left her in my kindergarten on accident and I was so scared she'll be gone by tommorrow, but the kindergarten teacher came rushing with her to me the moment I walked in the next morning. I think I'll take Lelly with me anywhere for as long as I'm alive :)

The sad part is, I've been trying to find one exactly like her in a better condition online, just so I can have one of those cheesy "before and after child's love" moments, but I have never been able to find one.
Worse yet, I haven't even been able to find any proof of her ever even being sold by the company, as I simply cannot find any pictures of her! I will be on this search forever until I find one haha
 
The first plush I remember being obsessed with would be an Easter gift of a realistic white rabbit with orange spots, it was laying down, it had a pretty green tule ribbon around its neck, and was a pretty good size, about one-third the size of a basset hound.
it and my flounder plush were my dearest plush.
I lost both of them during the Tennessee flood.
My sister mlpc was able to find a replacement for my flounder in goodwill! It was the exact same one I had as a kid!
Sadly I will probably never find my long-lost bunny to have it rejoin my new founder on my bed lol
