How to Personalize a Stuffed Animal to Make an Unique Gift

Do you want your gifts to have character and individuality? It may seem like a daunting task, but isn’t really as difficult as you may think. The recipient of your gift will certainly appreciate the obvious extra time and effort you put in for them. To make a gift really special, you can start with something that is seemingly a standard gift. For example, a stuffed animal is perfect for all holidays and for any age. This article will outline some fun ideas to make this toy extra special.

So now that you have a stuffed animal as the core of your present, you can dress it. One great idea is to identify someone’s hobby and use that as the theme for the plush toy. Maybe they love snowboarding or skiing, then you can make the teddy bear winter ready! All you need to do is get a sweater, scarf, and hat. If you can’t find any clothes made directly for stuffed animals, all you need to do is go to your local convenience or dollar store baby aisle. There you should find plenty of items that might work, and not cost a lot either! To make your winter teddy bear even more ski appropriate, you could also find toy skis or a snowboard and attach it to the animal.

Another idea along this same winter sports theme is to get something like a white teddy bear or tiger and dress it up with colorful hats and scarves. With this color combination, your gift will definitely be winter appropriate. You can even use this idea if your time is limited. Many teddies are ready made to show off their winter sports skills, all you need to do is find one that looks fitting. Just add one small accessory that fits the sport and you will have a wonderfully personalized gift.

Of course, there are many other hobbies out there that aren’t sport related. Maybe your gift recipient loves to cook. All you would have to do to make a suitable present is to add an apron to the stuffed animal, and it’s ready to cook! In fact, many arts and crafts stores have items you could use and add life to your plush toy. Personalize it with some press on letters. You could put on their initials or even a whole message as long as you have the space! Or you could buy accessories at the store, like a flower for its paw.

Maybe you need to give a gift to a family. For a family of three, (father, mother, and child), you could get stuffed animals of different sizes. A large plush toy for daddy, a medium one for mommy, and small for baby. You could do this with any species of animal: teddy bears, stuffed lions, stuffed tigers, or even plush horses. You could personalize each animal separately too for extra effect. Maybe a mini-golf club wielding teddy for papa, a hair clip in mamma’s animal’s paw, and a toy or candy for Baby’s plush toy.

People love getting things that represent them as a family and as an individual! Stuffed animals give you a good base for a great and easy gift. All you need are a few creative ideas and the possibilities are infinite. Guarantee yourself successful gift giving!
