How to Choose the Perfect Plushie for Your Child (or Yourself!)
Plushies aren't just adorable toys, they're lifelong friends, comforting companions, and the keepers of countless childhood memories. Whether you're choosing a plushie for your child, a gift for someone special, or even a snuggle buddy for yourself, finding the right one can make all the difference.
At Kawaiies, we’ve delivered over 100,000 plushies filled with love, joy, and squishiness! So today, we’re sharing our top tips on picking the perfect plushie you'll treasure forever.
What makes a plushie truly special?
Every plushie has its own unique charm. Some feel extra soft, others have the sweetest faces, and some are the perfect size for hugs! Here’s what to look for when finding “the one”:
-
Super soft: A plushie should be irresistibly soft and huggable, making it the ultimate comfort buddy.
-
Cute expressions: Big round eyes, tiny noses, and smiley faces bring plushies to life and spark instant connections.
-
Perfect size: From palm-sized plushies to jumbo cuddle companions, the right size depends on how you want to use them — for bedtime, travel, or giant bear hugs!
-
Durable & washable: Life gets messy, so choosing a plushie that's easy to clean (like our zippered plushies!) ensures they stay fluffy and fresh for years.
Different types of plushies to fall in love with
There’s a plushie for every personality and mood. Which one will you fall for?

Plushie gifting ideas
Gifting a plushie is like giving a warm hug that never fades. Here’s how to make it even more special:
-
Pair it with a sweet handwritten note — give your plushie a backstory or a little “adoption certificate.”
-
Bundle it with cosy extras like a blanket, a storybook, or a matching outfit.
-
Choose one that matches their interests — a dinosaur for a dino-obsessed kid, a bunny for a spring birthday, or a sleepy sloth for a laid-back friend.
