My daughter has a huge pile of stuffed animals, but she always wants more. I'm not sure why, as they just sit there, but she insists that she must have more. On occasion, she does set them up around her room for a party of some type, but she usually doesn't do much with them. Lately, she has been bugging me to go out and get custom stuffed animals, and though this seems like a fun idea, I can't help think that it will just be a waste of money in this case. That doesn't mean I won't allow her to get one though.
I can see where making custom stuffed animals could be a lot of fun. The only problem I have is that there is nowhere around where I live where you can do it. I might have to search something out nearby and go there, but I am not sure it will be a short drive. I might have to wait until the next time we go on a trip and see if I can find something then. There are a few different stores that do custom stuffed animals, so I am sure I will be able to find something.
Even though making such a thing is expensive in comparison to the animals you can buy in a regular store, there is something about custom stuffed animals. These places allow you to make them anything you want. You can get the animal of your choice, and you can then outfit them with anything you like. From what I have seen, there is very little limit on what you can find and what you can buy for your custom stuffed animals. If you are into ballet, you can get any animal with a tutu if you want. If you have a biker in the family, the bear armed with a leather jacket might be the perfect gift for them.
There are some people that choose to have custom stuffed animals for a birthday theme. Some of these stores will host a birthday party where all of the children can make their own, at their own expense of course. This is probably a better idea for girls, but I would think boys would enjoy this as well. Each child can then go home with their own custom stuffed animals and they will always remember the great fun they had when they look at it. They can even go back later for different outfits if they want, making it a possession that can change with the times.
