The attachment to your favorite childhood stuffed animal can be strong. So strong in fact, elementary kids have been known to carry their teddy bears with them to summer camp; college students tuck them away in their suitcases; and sometimes even adults refuse to say goodbye…

That’s why it was no surprise when Budsies started receiving requests from customers to remake old fading Mr. Smiley, missing Harry the Hedgehog, and ripped Polly Piglet.

“There is something pretty special when you can return something so important and with so much nostalgia to a child or even an adult,” said Budsies Founder Alex Furmansky. “We feel pretty lucky to be able to reconnect our fans with their childhood memories!”
