Stuffed Plush
Have you ever asked yourself why do we like plush toys so much? The market for stuffed toys is huge. They are sold not only in toy stores, but also in upscale gift shops, chain drugstores, department stores and in supermarkets- let’s not forget about all the places online where you can order them as well for any occasion.
They are good promotional tools for companies big and small. They are a constant, adorable reminder of the company. They can be school mascots, or a gift to commemorate an event. They can be sold for charity, and be a fundraiser tool.
They are popular gifts for birthdays, holidays and anniversaries. They are a fun addition to flowers, chocolate and balloons. Who doesn’t like receiving a wonderful smelling bouquet of flowers snuggled in the cozy arms of an adorable little teddy bear or other seasonal favorites?
And some are the creation of your imagination. You can make a plush toy of one of the characters in a children’s story book that you made up, or you might have a brilliant design that you believe can sell.
The excitement of holding a toy of your own creation is almost too much to bear.
We love them because they are soft, cuddly and warm. These toys are probably connected in our minds to the toys we had as infants, when the world was one big discovery after another and it felt so warm and secure. They are colorful, imaginative, and mood lifting. They are fun to hold or to put on a shelf to be looked at. Many people collect them and line their rooms in their homes with the cuddly cuties.
The internet has been a big booster of plush toys. People are selling their own creations through their websites, or sell their toys to internet companies that specialize in selling stuffed toys. They are made by many companies that have connections in China where most toys are manufactured to cut down on cost. Made in the USA plush toys are on the expensive side, since the cost of labor in the US is much higher than in China.
When you want to make your own plush toy it is important to choose a reputable company that has been in business for many years and knows the ins and outs of the plush toy business. A company that is solid and well respected, will make the experience of going from design to creation a pleasurable one.
Making your own plush creation is a complicated process that is better left to the professionals and not to the fly-by-night companies that are there only to make a quick buck. Someone who loves this side of business, and respects the creative process can be a big asset when you embark on this exciting road to creativity.

Plush stuffed toys?
I have several “plush stuffed toys” that are sentimental to me, ie, gifts etc. I was a smoker and now the whites are nicotine brown. Tried putting a few in the dryer with a T-shirt that was very damp with white vinegar. I now have vinegar smelling animals that also smell of nicotine. Plus, did not get rid of the color “brown”. They have now been banned to the storage shed and they and I are lonely being apart. 
Thanks Donna, I will try that now. Was hoping to qvoid “washing” because maybe damage.
why did you not wash them in the machine with the vinegar and laundry soap i am sure they can be washed you would of got all the brown staines out plus the vinegar smell out and your animals would be cleaned.then put them in the dryer i wash my daughter stuffed animals all the time and she has alot.exspensive ones too and i through them in the wash and they come out fine.
