2022 Holiday Gift Guide
Gifts for Kids and Adults
When purchasing toys for children, you want to make sure they will last for a long time and not fall apart. You also want the peace of mind that the toy will be played with, and loved. Not just thrown in a toy bin. Well let me tell you, that Plushible means business when it comes to plush toys, hence their name.
What I love about these wonderfully cuddly and soft plush toys is that they each have character, a personality if you will. Most of the Plushible toys have back stories and profiles, which makes them more relatable to any child, even those on the spectrum. Playful faces and cuddly durable bodies make these plush toys irresistible to any age child - even the grown up ones!
Since 2018 Plushible continues to win awards year after year from all over the toy industry. Plushible has received awards from esteemed organizations such as Mom's Choice Award for Excellence; National Parenting Product Awards Winner; Parent's Choice Recommended Toy Award; Creative Child Magazine, Top Toy of The Year; AND MORE. I am going to take you through their top 5 Toys for 2022. I know you will find the perfect plush toy. Let's go!
#1 Blankie Bestie™
2022 Plush Toy Of The Year
PLUSHIBLE WINS PLUSH 2022 TOY OF THE YEAR! From Creative Child Magazine, published monthly nationwide, provides parenting tips and ways to engage children with activities that nurture creativity and education.
The new "Blankie Besties™" product line is one of Plushible's best. Available in six styles: Pawley the Bear, Bunny, Owl, Fox, Dog, and Frog. These collectible plush characters come stuffed with a removable 42x32 inch ultra-soft dual-layered baby blanket zipped up inside.
This is one of those plush toys you can't stop touching, stroking, and loving. It was also oddly satisfying for the adults that tested this product. The children that tested this product fell in love with it instantly.
The "Bestie" is a perfect size for mobile babies and toddlers. The Bestie is soft, fluffy, and playful without the blanket inside.
The "Blankie" measures 42x32 inches, a perfect child-size Blankie. So super soft, lightweight, and, well, just huggable.
This is just one gift that needs to be held and felt. Then "POOF" it's an instant favorite.
I consider the retail price of $59.99 a reasonable and affordable price considering you get a 2-in-1 plush toy constructed to last a long time. I would consider this a high-end product.
Another thing to note about this product is that it makes an excellent gift for those children on the "Spectrum," as it soothes and comforts the varying textures and softness.

#2 Snugibles™
2022 Travel Product of the Year & Preferred Choice Award
This is another award winner for Plushible, earning two awards; 2022 TRAVEL PRODUCT OF THE YEAR & 2022 PREFERRED CHOICE AWARD from Creative Child Magazine. Another smash hit for Plushible! Snugibles™ are oversized fleece hoodies embellished with features of the character accenting the hood. The most remarkable thing about the Snugibles™ is that they are character-themed and insanely fun to wear. The 2-in-1 convertible styles can be rolled up into the hood and zipped closed to become a character-themed throw pillow. They are available in adult and child sizes and are perfect for lounging in the house, tailgating, hanging out around the fire, or those chilly walks with the dog. These soft and cuddly Snugibles™ will surround you in comfort.
The Collegiate Snugibles™ are in high demand, so grab one as soon as possible. They come out with new styles every month.
These Snugibles™ are a comfy alternative to a blanket or jacket. Keeping true to the Plushible name, the Snugible™ is very plush with soft, lightweight fleece. Because it is oversized, it's like a blanket wrapped around you. I liked that when I wasn't wearing it ( I got a little warm), I could wrap it up into a pillow, then I sat on it for comfort. I can see why this was named 2022 Travel Product of The Year; it's easy to take with you. Treat yourself or someone you know to this impressive product, and you'll be glad you did.
#3 SHAREWOOD FOREST FRIENDS
Welcome to the land of Sharewood Forest, where your child will find new friends to share their adventures with. These cute critters are really a lot of fun. What I like about them is that each character has a backstory to which any child can relate. For instance, Brie the Bunny is the social one of the Sharewood Forest Friends who loves to invite friends to have picnics and play games on the green grass. Whereas Aria the Alpaca is the singer of the group sharing her love of song with all her Sharewood Forest Friends.
These lovely rag dolls are soft, plush, and true to Plushible's reputation, are very well constructed, and will last for years. There are eight Sharewood Forest Friends who share adventures together. Aria the Alpaca; Piper the Unicorn; Brie the Bunny; Fiona the Fox; Sofie the Sloth; Dougie the Dog; Walter the Wolf; Freddy the Fog.
There are three sizes of Sharewood Forest Friends:
18 Inch Rag Dolls that come dressed in an adventure outfit include a pair of pajamas and sleep masks. A Sharewood Forest playscape is included to further the fun, plus all 18 Inch dolls can share clothes.
14 Inch Rag Dolls that come dressed for adventure. The smaller dolls are geared toward baby and toddlers and the clothes are not interchangeable. The faces are embroidered so there are no dangerous eyes or noses to pull off. A great cuddle friend that goes easily along.
14 Inch Rag Doll Puppets. All eight characters are represented here and made from soft plush material. Each puppet is designed with an embroidered face, so there are no removable parts. These cute critters are great for children of any age child.
As a side note, this Sharewood Forest Friends collection is used by educators of children on the spectrum because they are great sensory toys that stimulate one or more of the senses and engage play with others.
#4 Pawley - Plushible's Signature Teddy Bear
Pawley, The Plush Bear, is probably my favorite toy in the Plushible Brand. I just love his cute face with the quirky smile, his not quite straight ears, and his tufts of fuzzy hair, which makes Pawley "perfectly imperfect." In fact, when my granddaughter was playing with Pawley recently, she asked me why his ears weren't straight and why his hair looked all spiky. My answer was well, darling, he is perfectly imperfect, just like you! She gave me a perplexed look, then smiled and said, "You're right; Pawley is perfect just the way he is. For an adorable little plush toy to bring about that kind of impact on a child is inspiring and heartwarming.
I recently took 10 Inch, Pawley, on vacation to Europe (4 countries). I have anxiety about flying and crowded places. I had so much fun carrying him around and taking pictures with him, but more importantly, he eased my stress whenever I needed it. Which is another reason Pawley is my favorite. He is genuinely a plush toy for any age. I gave one to a terminal friend who loved to hold onto Pawley when she got scared and lonely.
The Pawley collection is pretty sizeable. There are over eight different Pawley's to choose from:
- 10 Inch Plush Pawley - You can choose from a standing Pawley or a sitting Pawley. A perfect size for anyone.
- 18 Inch Plush Pawley- This size Pawley plays well with the other 18 Inch toys.
- 34 Inch Really Plush Pawley- For when you just need a cuddle buddy.
- Travel Adventure Pawley - This 14 Inch Pawley comes with adventure bags and books, designed to ease with travel.
- Blanket Bestie Pawley - A must have for any baby or toddler. This Pawley will last a childhood.
- Snugibles™ Pawley - A warm and fuzzy Pawley. Available in Adult and Child sizes.
- Hand Puppet Pawley - Endless hours of fun with this Pawley. Fun & Educational Play for ages 0 to tween.
- Hand Warmer Pawley - Another intuitive product from Plushible. A perfect gift for those that wait for a bus in the cold.
