How do you store stuffed toys long term?
Comments (19)I'll be selling any leftover stuffed toys at an upcoming tag sale late September/early October (minus the Steiff frog from the '50's, which really takes up no space whatsoever -- 15 years or so ago it was worth at least $100 on eBay). Anything else I'm still fond of (the leopard is the only one that comes to mind) I'll photograph first. Anything that remains after that will be donated. I am finally really purging! (I hope!) - no, I don't have that many stuffed animals left -- the leopard, the frog, a lion, two bunnies and two cats. Oh, and a tiny musical elephant. Of course it is different if you are dealing with a toddler's toys. Save a couple aside that she (or he) really likes and seems to talk to, even if she's doing it much less frequently now. My brother was attached to a stuffed bull well into 8th grade. Someone suggested vacuum sealing the stuffed animals -- if the plush is in good condition, I think this would flatten down and ruin the plush, if saving the stuffed critters is of interest to you. (Then,, of course, they might be easier to get rid of further down the road, if they are perma-smashed!!)...See MoreWhere do you buy this toy - Scannerz?
Comments (15)I just saw the ad tonite and it seems a little strange to me. Kids use this 'device', the scanner, to scan any and all products they come across that have a bar code...at home, at the grocery store, wherever. 'Hidden' in certain select bar codes are (was it dragons or what) a creature of some sort, that when found by their scanner the data is 'entered' or downloaded to their scanner and then they can do things with them (the 'captured' creatures).I know they can hook up two scanners together to fight, but they can also manipulate their creatures somehow once it's on their scanner device. If you ask me it sounds like a major pain in the butt. Can you just imagine your kid running all over the grocery store scanning as many items as possible. And just think about how many companies and corporations would have had to work together to incorporate this data into their everyday bar codes for kids to find, a major undertaking if you ask me...and what do the companies get out of this...because they aren't going to do it without it somehow benifiting them. I say weird. What do you guys think. I hope I explained this well I realize it sounds a little bizarre....See MoreMerry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all! Toy box
Comments (11)Thanks, Marylee. He's too young now, but I think he will grow to love it. Merry Christmas to you, too! Thanks, Luvs! Awww, you're so sweet. He's adorable, I must say. lol! I should have taken more close up pictures of it. It was hard to photograph because I coated it in shiny clear poly, several coats, to protect it. The poly bounced the light. Hope you all have a lovely holiday season, how ever you celebrate!...See MoreHat boxes, do you have/use one?
Comments (17)I have three. I don't use them to store hats like I once did though. Now I have them filled with family trinkets and stuff that will go to my kids and one dear friend. They are each marked inside the lid as to who grts each one. There are things like my grandmothers watch, my great grandfathers drafting tool set, my mothers Eastern Star book and ring. A pair of gold spectacles that belonged to my grandmothers grandfather. A couple old family bibles, a christening dress. A trophy. Gosh just bunches of things. The one for my friend have things that represent many years of friendship....See MoreTexas_Gem
