Win a Soft and Cuddly Stuffed Animal

Written by Erica

My daughter, Audrey, loves unicorns and puppies. They may be two of her most favorite things. Thanks to Douglas Toys, Audrey recently received a fun package in the mail. Inside she found a stuffed Golden Retriever and a stuffed unicorn. She was beside herself with excitement.

douglasretrieverTroy Golden Retriever was super soft. I immediately stole him from her and continually brushed him against my cheek. He was so cuddly and perfect. Troy became one of Audrey’s permanent appendages, as she carried her new friend around with her everywhere for days.

She was also in love with Stardust Unicorn, who found its new home among a shelf of other unicorn stuffed animals. Although Stardust was by far one of the cutest.

#1 - stephanie myers @ 2:24 pm

here’s hoping Jillian or Aidan get a soft lovey!

#2 - Renee @ 2:27 pm

Those stuff animals are adorable!!!! and they look so soft!

#3 - Mom24@4evermom @ 2:28 pm

My son’s favorite animal is a lion.

#4 - Briana @ 2:29 pm

My daughter has always wanted a chocolate lab. Unfortunately, my son is allergic. :( We would always appreciate some stuffed ones around here!

My older daughter desperately wants a horse. A real one, but a stuffed one just may have to do.

#6 - Sarah at themommylogues @ 2:33 pm

I have a 3 yr old with a major love for all things monkey.

#7 - jenna @ 2:33 pm

My daughter’s favorite animal (stuffed or not) is a puppy. She loves them and asks for them whenever she sees them!

#8 - Sara @ 2:35 pm

how cute! my little boy would love this

#9 - Jennifer Ott @ 2:37 pm

Not another one! My 2-year-old loves her “Gabi” doll, duckling, bunny, and pig (yes, a pig…and not a cute one). She sleeps with them all, and they take up more space than she does. My son has his “Hazi” bear and frog (that was mine when I was little!). My poor baby (9 month old) has…nothing. Nothing of her own. Her one bunny has been claimed by her sister (see above). Please let her win one!

#10 - Lis Garrett @ 2:42 pm

My son received a Douglas dog nearly six years ago. His name is Douglas, of course!! He continues to be one of my son’s favorite sleepy-time companions. :-)

#11 - SJ @ 2:44 pm

At the moment my older boy loves killer whales. He’s got a pretty big plush one that he sleeps with every single night. Along with an elephant, a giraffe, a dog and a snake.

The kid is nuts about stuffed animals!

#12 - I'm The Mom @ 2:48 pm

My little guy loves frogs and penguins. These animals are so adorable. They look so soft and cuddly.

#13 - Janelle D @ 2:53 pm

Wow, the Douglas Toy selection of plush animals is HUGE…love the farm animals especially. My daughter has a beanie baby deer that is her favorite, though she sleeps with a whole zoo it seems.

#14 - Megret @ 2:57 pm

Our son loves lions and our daughter loves elephants!
Thanks!

My little one drags her Pooh Bear everywhere she goes. The poor thing is dirty and bedraggled, but oh so loved.

#16 - Halloween Doll Clothes Gal @ 3:01 pm

My daughter’s fav changes quite a lot but I can tell you that the latesat is a woolf. She had to do a school project on nature and she thoroughly researched everything she could about the live of a lone woolf - I was very proud.

#17 - Erin @ 3:03 pm

These look so cute and soft! For some unfortunate reason, my son’s favorite stuffed “thing” right now is a snake. He makes me give it loves, although the forked tongue kind of freaks me out.

#18 - Heather @ 3:17 pm

Well, the oldest loves giraffes, the middle loves kangaroos and the youngest loves horses. :)

Personally - I’d pick a pig or a squirrel.

#19 - Beth/Mom2TwoVikings @ 3:22 pm

Flicka’s favorite is “Lamby” and Pojke’s is “Puppy”

Too cute!! Ali loves hippos. She calls them Hip-Bos.
