Handmade Plush Toys for All Ages
From soft and squishy comfort to quirky collector’s joy, plush toys are more than just cute—they’re therapeutic, nostalgic, and perfect for kids and adults alike. Whether you’re looking for plush toys with big eyes to sweeten your bookshelf or a cozy plush toy pillow for naps and décor, our curated selection at The Handmade Showroom brings you handmade, USA-made snuggle buddies with character.
Let’s explore why plush toys are such timeless treasures and how to care for them so they stay huggable for years to come.
Plush Toys for Adults (Yes, Really!)
Gone are the days when stuffed animals were just for kids. Today’s plush toys bring comfort, personality, and a playful spirit to grown-up spaces too. Feeling stressed? Hug a round, squishy Chubby Frog plush.

Whether you’re a gamer (hi, D20 pillow plush!) or a fan of cryptids and weirdly wonderful things (hello, Yeti head plush and Banana Slug with Worm Buddy), our collection has a friend just waiting to move in.
Handmade Plush Toys Made in the USA
Every plush toy we carry is handcrafted with love by indie makers right here in the USA. From the wool-felted Monster Doot to the snuggly-soft bunny in a sweater, these pieces are more than just toys—they’re artisan works of heart. Supporting handmade means you get one-of-a-kind charm with ethical production and high-quality materials.
Plush Toy Storage Ideas
Plushies tend to multiply quickly (don’t ask how), so smart storage keeps them cozy and clutter-free. Here are a few ideas:
-
Hanging nets or hammocks for a playful ceiling display.
-
Canvas bins or vintage suitcases for themed storage.
-
Bookshelves—some plush toys are cute enough to double as décor!
-
Under-bed zip storage if you’re rotating seasonal plush pals (yes, that’s a thing).
How to Wash Plush Toys (Without Ruining Them)
Most of our plush toys are surface-washable, which means a gentle sponge bath is your best bet:
-
Mix warm water with a mild soap or baby shampoo.
-
Dip a clean cloth and gently dab any dirty spots.
-
Use another damp cloth to remove soap residue.
-
Air dry thoroughly—no dryers, please!
Some softies can handle a quick machine wash inside a pillowcase on gentle cycle—but always check the care tag or ask us if you’re unsure.
