OK, I am embarrassed to admit that I got caught up in the frenzy when they were so hot. Can't believe I actually spent time and gas money searching for the things. (What was I thinking??!!!) There were even a few I spent some extra $$$ on. Luckily only about 2 or 3. But I do have about 3 bins full of them. I looked on Ebay and they do not look like they are moving at all. Not worth the trouble selling them that way.

Don't think they'll sell at a garage sale either. Any suggestions? My last ditch plan is to donate them to a local old folks home for bingo prizes.... (actually the local old folks home has a ton of "regular" stuffed animals that I already gave them. They have about two years worth of Bingo prizes.)

I would like any suggestions that you might have.

Julieboo, Check with your local Women's Shelter, they take in scared kids with absolutely nothing but the clothes on their backs. Also, check with your local police department, I know they use stuffed animals to help calm kids who have been in accidents and who are victims of crimes.

Your local school or library might
also be interested in 'adopting' some.

OR...be sneaky...tape them to every gift
you give to people, instead of a bow.

My daughter's art teacher gives one to each child who comes to her house!

Hospitals also use them in the Neonatal Instensive Care Unit (NICU). They are perfect size to keep premature babies company in the incubators. :-)
