What’s popular for large cuddly toys this year? I’m looking for something to appeal to as many kids as possible for a raffle prize!

our local school fete had one of these up for grabs in the raffle and dd was desperate for it (she had to settle for a lollypop instead Grin)

Unicorns and llamas

motortroll · 17/09/2019 20:21

Sloths?

Apparently Asda have MAHOOSIVE giraffes.

I was going to mention the Asda giraffe but since I can't add anything constructive, I'll say that I would absolutely hate you if my child won that Grin

My mum’s neighbour won a very large cuddly toy. Mum accepted it as a gift for my dc. I’m sure mumsnet will agree with me that going NC was the only possible response.

A teddy bear is favourite, a unicorn or similar would have the same appeal.

We got ours from Costco a few years back and deeply regret it Grin

This guy is cheap, cute and appeals to all ages.

He's 50cm so not overly massive either, if be more inclined to buy the kids a ticket for something I could fit in the front door :o

My daughter is 10 and would spend every penny on a pink unicorn cuddly toy. She loves massive toys - although as the parent I wouldn't want it too big!

Oversize huge Disney stitch Teddy so fluffy

Our two love this penguin (he's called Big Boss Penguin!).

As a parent I would be very, very unimpressed. Not only if one of my dc won, but for all the extremely disappointed dc as well.
Why not pick a popular soft toy of a reasonable size and have several as prizes?

CottonSock · 18/09/2019 07:00

I would not want to win one either. My kids would hate me

Would you really be so annoyed if they won a large teddy? We’ve got so many small teddies. I wanted to do the tiger that came to tea for Judith Kerr but the tiger toys could be a bit scary!

You’re right though, other parent friends think giant toy is an idea akin to a cup of cold cat sick idea!

I love these cuddly toys! The stich one is adorable!

And I definitely won’t send my mum to Asda for that giraffe for dd! Sounds great

I wouldn’t enter

Look in a charity shop, we get inundated with brand new cuddly toys, many large ones, no one wants them Grin.

Wilko always do a great selection of large soft toys at Christmas for around £10. Big bit not obscene so I don't think parents would object. I got this one last year.

We just have a small house and so it would take up very valuable space and gather dust.

I’m going to have to give into the general lack of keenness! Mine love big cuddly toys!

Marks and spencer have massive dinosaurs and unicorns. And a peter rabbit!
