Gund Plush – Fun and huggable additions to any Easter basket

I love plush (stuffed) animals. I’ve been collecting them since I was a little girl. Currently my dad’s attic has at least 200+ stuff animals that I collected since I was younger. I left almost all of them behind when I got married and moved away over 15+ years ago.

I still have some of my kid’s plush animals from when they were little. The both won’t admit to it but they still have plenty of plush animals in their room too. 🙂

Even as an adult I’m a sucker for an adorable plush animal.

Here is a little known fact that only a few people know about me. When I was little I used to think that stuffed animals had feelings and emotions. I knew they were not alive or real, but for some reason I felt like they could feel emotions. Because of my belief I would intentionally purchase stuffed animals that were not “perfect”. I would graviate towards the plush animals that were imperfect. Perhaps their eyes were not even with one another, or maybe the stitching was wrong on their legs causing their legs to bend a different way. Whatever the reason I would collect plush animals that I was afraid would be “unlovable” by others. I worried that no one would love them and they would sit on the shelf watching similar plush animals being loved by children and feel sad about it. This is the reason why I have a huge plush animal collection in my dad’s attic. I was drawn to the plush animals that had something wrong with them because I wanted them to feel loved too.

I’m sure there are a few psych majors reading the above paragraph trying to “read between the lines” as to why I felt that way. What can I say. I have a huge heart and I want people (and things) to be happy and feel loved. ♥

With Easter right around the corner I’m sure many parents and grandparents are little for those last minute stocking stuffers. If that is the case, why not consider a plush animal? It doesn’t even have to be a plush rabbit either (unless you want it to be). Gund offers many adorable critters which are sure to delight children, young and old, at Easter and year round too.

For more than a century, Gund, a division of Enesco, LLC, has been known worldwide for its top quality, soft and huggable plush designs and gift products. Gund offers award-winning products that appeal to all ages, from infants up. Gunds are perfect for both play and collecting. 

Gund has a line of Fuzzy plush that so cute! They are soft and floppy and perfect for hugging.

I fell in love with all of the Fuzzy critters, but the pig really stood out to me. I had to see it in person.

Is he (or she?) not the cutest little piggy? Awwww! I love it.

I was sent one of the Fuzzy Pig to review.

Fuzzy Pig is 13.5″ in size and incredibly soft. Baby soft if you ask me.

Here is my sweet little Fuzzy Pig sitting next to our cat Bella.

As a parent I can see any of the Fuzzy critters from Gund quickly becoming a child’s favorite. They are so soft. The texture reminds me of a “well loved” toy. The “fur” is not stiff in any way. It feels like it’s been well loved and perhaps made a few trips in the washer and dryer. My kids have a few plush animals from when they were younger that have a similar feel to them.

FYI… check the product tag for washing instructions.

Here is our Fuzzy Pig sitting on the shelf where we keep our movies. Since he (she?) is floppy he doesn’t sit up straight.

The Gund Fuzzy plush critters retail for $15.00 and are available in several different plush creatures. Here are a few examples.

Does your child or grandchild love Curious George? Gund also has an adorable Curious George plush that would be the perfect addition to the Curious George fan’s Easter basket.

The 8″ Curious George retails for $10.00.

Perhaps one of Gund’s Nuzzle plush animals would be the perfect Easter gift?

Nuzzles are designed to lay gently and comfortably against your neck and cheek. A great decorative addition to any child’s bedroom or playroom, Nuzzles also offer a soft place to lay your head on longer car or plane rides, or while you’re watching TV!

Nuzzles are 18″ in size and retail for $20.00. The Razzle Alligator (pictured above) is darling!
