My Brand New Peter Rabbit Beanies Arrived – Plus Two More!

Hi everyone! Yesterday, I had a very important parcel arrive…my brand new Peter Rabbit Beanie Baby and Beanie Bouncer from The Magical Gift Boutique!

I also ordered a couple of other Beanies, Amelia Cat and Lara Capybara to arrive with them, and I think all of them look miles better in real life than they do in their stock images!

As promised, I said I would show them to you all when they arrive and here they all are below!

I am so impressed with the new Peter Rabbit Beanies! And I ADORE Amelia and Lara too!

Let’s take a closer look at them individually…

Peter Rabbit – Beanie Baby

The Peter Beanie Baby has a great, new look, and you can’t notice it at first, but he has subtle, glittery brown eyes!

I love all the little details they have given him, from the cream coloured fur surrounding his eyes, to the graded peach in his ears. His jacket is also adorable with embroidered, golden buttons and even embroidered pockets!

His hang tag even includes the Peter Rabbit (The World Of Beatrix Potter) logo inside. There is also an illustration of the original Peter Rabbit.

He is so soft too! Even his blue jacket is lovely to touch!

Peter Rabbit (Beanie Baby) is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Peter Rabbit – Beanie Bouncer

Even the Peter Rabbit Beanie Bouncer has some lovely details! His ears have the ombre-effect peach inside and he has wonderfully embroidered eyes!

He is also seriously soft and lovely to hold!

Interestingly, he has the newer style of Beanie Bouncers tag, which now looks like a booklet-style hang tag!

I love this Beanie Bouncer, but I’m loathed to actually bounce him. I will probably keep him for display purposes only.

Amelia Cat

Amelia is a kitty I’ve wanted to buy since she was released earlier this year but hadn’t got round to getting her!

She is even better in real-life than I thought she’d be!

She has gorgeous, glittery blue eyes with fabulous eyelashes! Sometimes, I find the eyelashes to be a bit much, but on Amelia they actually really suit her!

Her whiskers are also really cute as they are quite long! The tiny amount of airbrushing on her chest just finishes her off nicely.

Amelia’s Birthday is on 20th August and her poem reads:

My fur is soft and white,
You’ll want to hold me tight.
I’m a cute little kitty,
very cuddly and pretty.

I’m so glad I added her in to this order!

Amelia is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

And finally…

Lara Capybara

Finally, Ty made a capybara Beanie! And Lara Capybara really is adorable!

She is incredibly soft and I love her chocolate-brown muzzle and ears!

Her eyes are glittery gold and I love the way she holds her dark brown paws, like she’s on the lookout for a new home!

She really is so sweet!

Lara’s Birthday is on 27th March and her poem reads:

Living in rivers and forests, warm and wide,
A capybara loves to hide.
By water’s edge they like to stay,
Swimming and snoozing all day.

I’m so glad, Ty decided to make a capybara Beanie as I have been wanting them to make one for FOREVER!

Lara Capybara is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My Thoughts On The Peter Rabbit Beanies (Plus Amelia And Lara)

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!

I’m serious! The Peter Rabbit beanies are much cuter in real-life then my expectations and so are Amelia and Lara!

I love how Lara looks fluffier in reality. She’s adorable!

My 2025 Christmas Beanie Boo Haul! – Plus One Odd One Out!

Friday, October 17th, 2025

Hi everyone! I just HAVE to show you the new 2025 Christmas Beanie Boos that have arrived from The Magical Gift Boutique! Plus, can you spot the odd one out?!

I really love this year’s selection, especially our extraterrestrial friend!

Let’s take a look at a closer look at them all…

Dave

Everyone seems to know a Dave. And if you don’t, now you can!

I love Dave. I love his colourful buttons, carrot nose and his adorable red, spotty winter bobble hat! He has beautiful, glittery blue eyes, finished off with embroidered eyebrows and tiny black coals for his cute smile.

His tree branch arms are wide open for the biggest hug ever!

Dave’s Birthday is on 14th January and his poem reads:

Winter wraps the world in white,
This snowman glows with pure delight.
With polka dots and arms held wide,
He spreads the joy of Christmastide.

Dave Snowman Christmas Winter Beanie Boo 2025

Dave is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Snowdrop

Snowdrop is just GORGEOUS! Her winter-white fur is beautifully shimmery and she has fluffier, white fur on her chest.

I love how her hooves are made from shiny fabric rather than glitter, as the glitter has a tendency to shed. It also feels kind of scratchy to touch. Whereas, Snowdrop’s hooves are lovely and smooth.

Snowdrop’s Birthday is on 9th November and her poem reads:

My fluffy fur is white as snow,
I spread cheer wherever I go.
A nose so red and eyes so bright,
I’ll bring you joy on Christmas night.

Snowdrop is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Snaps

Snaps is just adorable! From his bright green, glittery eyes to his cute little swirly, red and white buttons!

He is finished off with white icing around his face and red, green and white, striped icing around his arms and feet. He just looks scrumptious!

His Birthday is on 19th September and his poem reads:

I’m not a secret you need to keep,
My name is Snaps! I’m a treat!
With icing hair and giant eyes,
I wait for Santa ‘neath the skies.

Snaps is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Comet

Comet was one of the Christmas Beanie Boos I was most looking forward to this year! And I’m so glad I got him!

This little green man is ready to brighten up your Christmas! He is ever so soft, and has the most adorable eyes! I think it’s great that Ty have gone with something a bit different this Christmas as well as the traditional snowmen and reindeer!

His Santa hat is also too cute!

Comet’s Birthday is on 26th October and his poem reads:

Comet the alien, from a star so bright,
Wearing a Santa hat, what a sight!
Smiling warmly, festive cheer,
Christmas joy from the outer sphere.

Comet is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

And finally…

Gourdo

Gourdo is currently exclusive to the USA, so being in the UK, I was lucky to get him!

He is really soft and a bright orange colour. He also bounces when thrown and luckily won’t smash into pieces if you do (unlike a real pumpkin).

However, he is just a little cutie and I won’t be throwing him around…much.

Being a Beanie Bouncer, Gourdo only has a tush tag that features his name and birth date. His Birthday is on 28th September.

Gourdo is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Hurry, there aren’t many of him left!

My thoughts on the 2025 Christmas Beanie Boos…

I think my favourites from this years Christmas Beanie Boos are Snowdrop and Comet. Snowdrop, because I love the reindeer Beanie Boos and I especially love how Ty have opted out of using glitter on her hooves/antlers. Comet, because he is completely different from other Christmas designs and I always love a new face! Plus, he’s so sweet!

I bought the Christmas Beanie Boos as a bundle from The Magical Gift Boutique, which works out a little cheaper overall. As I was buying them all anyway, this was the best option for me. Although, their prices individually are great too if you only want one or two.

The Christmas Beanie Boo bundle is available here!

I LOVE Gourdo too! He is going to become one of my Halloween decorations this year along with Seeds (from the Beanie Balls collection), and for a bit of nostalgia, 1998 Beanie Baby, Pumkin’!

My Vinted Beanie Baby Find…Canyon the Cougar!

Friday, October 3rd, 2025

Hi everyone! I just wanted to show you all the latest addition to my Beanie Baby collection, Canyon the cougar!

Canyon isn’t a new Beanie Baby, he was released waaaay back in 1998, making this little cutie 28 years old! He isn’t even a particularly rare Beanie Baby, in fact he’s only worth between $1-5. But for me, this little guy is perfect!

Weirdly, I never particularly had a great fondness for Canyon as a kid. I didn’t DISLIKE him or anything, he just never stood out to me like other Beanie Babies. But I saw this little guy on Vinted for £1.50 (around $2) and couldn’t just leave him there…all alone…waiting for someone to take him home…

So I did.

Now, let’s take a closer look at this adorable feline…

A little bit about Canyon…

First for the basic info on Canyon.

His style number is 4212.

He is made up of a light brown body and head and a cream coloured tummy. His button eyes and golden and black, he has a peach nose and black thread whiskers. There is a black stripe on both sides of his muzzle and he has black and white ears.

Canyon ALWAYS had a 5th generation hang tag and a 6th generation tush tag (see my “Hang Tag Identification Guide” and “Tush Tag Identification Guide” for more information on tag generations.

Here is a picture of the front of his 5th generation hang tag…

and here is his 6th generation tush tag…

Canyon’s Birthday is on 29th May 1998. His poem reads as follows:

I climb rocks and run really fast
Try to catch me, it’s a blast
Through the mountains, I used to roam
Now in your room, I’ll call it home!

Now that we’ve taken a look at Canyon in a bit more detail, what do I think of the Canyon Beanie Baby I bought off Vinted?

What do I think about my Vinted Canyon Beanie Baby?

One word. Perfect! There is not one thing wrong with him!

His tags are in mint condition, his whiskers are still in tact. In fact, his fur still retains that “new Beanie Baby” plushness that you would have if you bought him straight out of the shop in 1998!

I am so happy with him, and the seller was great too. She kept me updated throughout and even put this lovely little note inside…

I thought this this was a wonderful touch and Helen probably doesn’t realise, but her note really made my day!

The Spring/Easter 2025 Beanie Boos are the best ever!

Monday, February 10th, 2025

Hi everyone! I would just like to say that Ty have outdone themselves with the new 2025 Spring/Easter Beanie Boos range! They are quite possibly my favourite set of Easter-themed Beanie Boos ever!

I bought the full set of 2025 Easter Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies from The Magical Gift Boutique!

The Magical Gift Boutique is a small business in the UK that specialises in selling Ty Beanies! They are my go-to place when buying new Beanies and they always have great deals!

Click here to order the full set of Easter Beanies from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Let’s take a closer look at them all below…

Marigold

Marigold is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Marigold is a sweet little yellow chick with shiny orange fabric for her beak and feet. I’m so glad that Ty have decided to use fabric instead of glitter in recent releases. Not only did it have a tendency to rub off if you weren’t careful, it felt scratchy to touch.

Her Birthday is on 19th February and her poem reads:

I colored this egg for you.
It is one of just a few.
Easter is on the way.
Let’s celebrate the day!

She is very sweet and I love the multicoloured sprinkles and rainbow design on the little Easter egg she is holding!

Marigold is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Giggles

Giggles is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

I was so surprised to see CAT Beanie Boos for Easter! Cats are my favourite animals and themed cat Beanie Boos are usually only released for Halloween – although I love those ones too!

Giggles is an incredibly sweet kitty who loves to sit inside her little pink Easter egg!

Her Birthday is on 18th April and her poem reads:

I don’t think I look that funny,
Dressed up like the Easter Bunny.
I didn’t know where to begin,
I wore these ears so I’d fit in.

It also surprised me a little that Giggles’ eyes were’t like the traditional larger style Beanie Boo eyes! To be honest, I personally think in this case they may not have suited her. I think Ty were right to go with smaller eyes for her as she looks adorable as she is!

Giggles is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Gumdrop

Gumdrop is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Gumdrop is absolutely purrfect! She is probably my favourite Beanie Boo from this Easter set.

Her mint-green, striped colouring looks great with her glittery blue eyes and soft, white paws. Also who couldn’t love that face?…

Her Birthday is on 18th April and her poem reads:

I don’t think I look that funny,
Dressed up like the Easter Bunny.
I didn’t know where to begin,
I wore these ears, so I’d fit in.

I’ve just realised as I was writing this that Gumdrop’s poem is identical to the one in Giggles hang tag! It makes sense with Gumdrop, as she is indeed wearing Easter Bunny ears, but Giggles is wearing an Easter Egg, not bunny ears! I wonder if this was a mistake on Ty’s part perhaps?

They are both seriously adorable though and great additions to the Beanie Boo range!

Gumdrop is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Skippy

Skippy is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Skippy is an adorable blue Beanie Bellies Easter Bunny covered in “sprinkles”!

Ty have been releasing Beanie Bellies Easter Bunnies for a few years now, although they usually come in a set of three. I was a little surprised to see only two this year.

Her Birthday is on 30th March and her poem reads:

Easter is that time of year,
To be happy and spread cheer.
I see smiles all around,
As I hop across the ground.

The two Easter Bunny Beanie Bellies appear to have gone back to having floppy ears this year!

Skippy is very similar to a previous release, called Bluford.

Here they are below with Skippy on the left and Bluford on the right.

Skippy (Left) and Bluford (Right) Easter BUnny Blue Spring Ty Beanie Bellies 2025

The two (from my eye anyway) appear to be an identical shade of blue. However, her mouth is a slightly different shape and thread colour. Skippy’s mouth is more of a peach colour, whereas Bluford’s mouth is pale pink.

Skippy is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Fern

Fern is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

The second Beanie Bellies Easter Bunny released this year is called Fern. She is a wonderful light green colour and covered with sprinkles like Skippy.

Her Birthday is on 20th May and her poem reads:

I eat clover late at night
Keeping still and out of sight.
You won’t see me come your way,
Not until it’s Easter Day.

Fern is also very similar to a previously released Easter Bunny called Peridot.

Here they are side by side with Fern on the left and Peridot on the right.

Fern (Left) and Peridot (Right) Easter Bunny Spring Green Ty Beanie Bellies 2025

They appear to me to be identical in colour, but both Easter Bunnies also have the same mouth differences as Skippy and Bluford..

Fern is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Get the complete set of Easter Beanies from The Magical Gift Boutique!

The complete set of five Easter Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies are available on a great deal from The Magical Gift Boutique!

They are currently available for £24.99! The normal price for these would be £29.95, so that’s a saving of almost £5!

Click here to order the complete set of five Easter 2025 Beanies from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My thoughts on the 2025 Easter/Spring Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies range…

I really love this year’s Easter Beanie Boos and Beanie Bellies and it could possibly be my favourite Spring set released ever!

As I said earlier in the post, I am LOVING that there are cat Beanie Boos in this release! Usually we either get Easter bunnies, chicks or lambs, which is great as they are your traditional Spring/Easter animals. But I am thrilled to see cats for a change!

I was surprised to see that both Giggles and Gumdrop had the same poem. Is that the case everywhere? As it doesn’t seem to match with Giggles’ outfit! Please let me know in the comments below!

I love the Easter Bunnies Beanie Bellies, but would have loved to see some new colours. To my eye, they look exactly the same colour as Bluford and Peridot. I do kind of wish they would have made them even a different shade of green or blue. Maybe even chocolate brown with sprinkles? Or perhaps made them blue or green but with upright ears!

However, I guess if you hadn’t got hold of Peridot or Bluford the first time around, then at least you’d be able to get a blue or green Easter bunny.

I also wish there had been three Easter bunnies like in other releases. But, thats not really a big deal.

Overall, Gumdrop is a definite favourite of mine from this Easter range, closely followed by Giggles.

The Bluey Beanie Babies Set – Plus Extra Beanie!

Monday, February 3rd, 2025

Hi everyone! I managed to buy the whole Bluey Beanie Baby set from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My daughter is a huge Bluey fan, so I couldn’t resist picking these up!

Let’s take a look at them in a little more detail…

MUM!

Mum is mother to Bluey and Bingo in the TV series. Her real name is Chilli.

She is an orange “Blue Heeler” dog with a brown patch over her right eye. I love how she is starting to get white hairs on her face. Having two daughters myself, the white hairs are TOTALLY understandable!

Mum is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

DAD!

Dad is Bluey’s father, also known as Bandit.

He is blue, like Bluey, with dark blue over his eyes, almost like a mask (which is probably why he is named “Bandit”). He also has white hairs appearing on his face.

Dad is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

BINGO!

Bingo is Bluey’s little sister in the TV series.

She is orange like her Mum, with a pale yellow belly and darker orange patches on her face.

Bingo is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

And finally….

BLUEY!

Bluey is the main character from the TV series.

She is an energetic Blue Heeler dog and is a pale blue colour, like her Dad. She has darker blue patches over her eyes and pale blue eyebrows.

Bluey is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Special offer for the full set at The Magical Gift Boutique!

Right now, there is a fantastic special offer for the full set of Bluey Beanie Babies! They are currently at £19.99 for the full set. The usual retail price for all four would be £23.96, so thats a discount of around £4!

GET THE FULL SET HERE!

The Bluey Beanie Babies are really popular so be sure to get them before they go!

I also have one more Beanie to show you…

Beanie Bouncer – Sammy!

I also ordered the Sammy Beanie Bouncer from The Magical Gift Boutique along with the Bluey set!

I’d been meaning to buy one of the Beanie Bouncers for a while, but hadn’t got around to it until now.

Sammy is a Siamese cat Beanie Bouncer with a round, cream coloured body and a chocolate brown face. Her blue eyes are beautiful and go with the chocolate brown of her face.

The Beanie Bouncers range don’t have hang tags. Instead, they have the name of the Beanie Bouncer and their birth date on their tush tag.

The other side has the barcode that would have normally been on a hang tag.

Sammy’s Birthday is on 27th August.

Sammy is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My thoughts on the Bluey Beanie Baby Set (Plus Sammy Beanie Bouncer!)…

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Bluey Beanies were a very good likeness to the actual characters from the TV series.

They are also much softer than I thought they would be and very squishy. They are definitely a must for Bluey fans and Beanie Baby collectors alike!

Sammy is also awesome! I wasn’t sure about the Beanie Bouncers range, but they are really fun to bounce! The only thing I am concerned about is getting it dirty, so you would have to make the decision whether you want to keep it as a collectible or to use it how it was intended and have lots of fun!

MORE Halloween 2024 Beanie Boos!

Wednesday, October 9th, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m thrilled to show you all some more additions to my collection!…MORE Halloween 2024 Beanie Boos!

Meet Licorice, Mumford and Batrick!

I sincerely didn’t think I’d manage to get hold of Licorice and Batrick this year, but did eventually manage to. I picked up Mumford too to go with Ooooky as they make the perfect pair!

Let’s take a closer look at them all…

Mumford

Mumford isn’t actually a 2024 Halloween Beanie Boo. He was released last year in 2023, but sadly I missed out on getting him.

I’m so glad that I now have both him and his newer cousin, Ooooky! They look really good together and will be right at home in my Halloween display this year!

Like Ooooky, he has a pet spider that is such an adorable little addition to an already cute Beanie Boo!

His Birthday is on 13th September and his poem:

A spider for a friend
Is what I recommend
This is my spider here
I always keep him near

Batrick

Batrick is so freakishly cute! He is very similar to last year’s Halloween Bat Beanie Boo, Ophelia, but with a more subtle appearance. His wings are patterned in a white spider web print instead of red and his feet are black like his body, as opposed to Ophelia’s red feet.

However, like Ophelia, Batrick has kept his adorable, dangly legs!

Batrick’s Birthday is on 2nd October and his poem reads as follows:

All those bugs to feed on,
In the hours of dusk to dawn.
I’m overhead in the sky,
Catching them as I fly by.

Batrick is available from Amazon.

Unfortunately, Batrick has completely sold out at The Magical Gift Boutique, however…

Licorice

Licorice is back in stock at The Magical Gift Boutique!…But only while stocks last!

This spooky little cat is my favourite of this year’s Halloween Beanie Boos! I ADORE her tri-colour eyes and bright pink/lime green accents! She also has the most purrfect little purple nose with orange whiskers!

I can see why this little feline has been popular this year! She has the coolest name too!

Her Birthday is on 1st November and her poem reads as follows:

Slowly creeping past your door,
In the darkness I explore.
If the moon is shining bright.
You might see me in fhe light.

As you notice, there truly is a “fhe” misprint in the hang tag. I can’t find a Licorice Beanie Boo without this error, so I assume it’s a very common misprint. If you have one that is correctly spelled “the”, please drop a comment below!

Licorice is available to order at The Magical Gift Boutique!

My thoughts on the Halloween 2024 Beanie Boos…

I’m in love with this year’s Halloween Beanie Boos, and Licorice and Batrick are no exception!

Although not a 2024 Beanie Boo, Mumford is also a great addition to my collection! Along with Ooooky, they look great as a pair!

In my opinion, Licorice has one of the most amazing colour combinations of all the Halloween Beanie Boos! I simply love her!

I’m glad Batrick no longer has the glittery inner ears that last year’s Ophelia had. I think they suit him, along with his more muted colours.

Flint Dragon Beanie Boo Review!

Tuesday, June 18th, 2024

Hi everyone, I’ve just added a wonderful new Beanie Boo addition to my collection, Flint Dragon!

I ordered her from The Magical Gift Boutique and all I can say is that she looks so much better in real life than in the official stock images!

It also appears that Ty have given her a makeover! The original images I’ve seen posted by other collectors show her with a pink base fabric and covered in shiny scales. She also had bright pink wings covered in silver sparkles.

However, this latest one I have received has soft scales, not shiny ones and her wings are solid bright pink without sparkles, but are made from a kind of shimmery fabric.

I’m actually glad they’ve made this change as the pink fabric really looks amazing against her soft rainbow scales. I also found the shiny scales to be a bit scratchy and I prefer a softer feel.

The other change they seem to have made is the belly. The original Flint had a crackled, scale effect on her shiny belly. It also came in three different colour variations; pink, yellow and blue!

This one I have has a softer, shimmery belly in a yellow and blue colour. I’m yet to find out if other variations exist.

The wings and horns have also had a fabric change. The first versions had a shiny, almost spotted effect, whereas the horns on mine are still shimmery, but are more of a solid colour. The wing material has a slightly roughened pattern to it, which I actually prefer to the original!

Flint’s Birthday is on 24th November and her poem reads as follows:

My thoughts on Flint the Dragon Beanie Boo…

I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the change in fabric on Flint. I actually prefer the softer Beanie Boos, so it was nice to see the foil scales have been removed.

I love the new belly material too, although I’m hoping that Ty have kept the three colour variations, as I love hunting for differences in Beanies.

She is so much better than I imagined her to be! Her stock images looked cute, but she is so much cuter in reality!

Flint Dragon is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Kodi the Beanie Baby Bear!

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Hi everyone! It was my Birthday yesterday and I was given the most fantastic present…a Kodi the bear Beanie Baby!

I am so besotted with him! He has the sweetest little face with gorgeous, sparkly orange-gold eyes, which are large but not quite as large as that of a Beanie Boo.

He also has the most adorable smile in the world!

Who wouldn’t be cheered up by that little face?!

His fur is very soft, and an almost-black colour with hints of dark brown mixed in. I love his beige muzzle and inner ears against the dark of his fur, and his little beige paws.

I think that Kodi is meant to be an Alaskan Kodiak Bear, just based on his name. Although, I’d say he has more of the colouration of an American Black Bear over that of a Kodiak Bear.

Kodi’s Hang Tag

He has a 19th generation Beanie Babies hang tag, but interestingly even though we are away in Europe right now (Bulgaria), he has the USA variation of this hang tag.

Kodi’s Birthday is on 7th February and his poem reads as follows:

When I scratch my back it is something to see
I’ll stand up and rub it against a tall tree!

There are not many places that sell Beanie Babies in Bulgaria, for instance, near us there is only one bookshop that stocks them. But, when they do sell them, they seem to put an import sticker on the hang tag over here, like the one on Kodi’s tag below…

Luckily, they haven’t put it over the actual poem this time (believe me this has been done before…), and it was stuck on the additional “Important Information” hang tags instead.

My thoughts on the Kodi Beanie Baby…

Kodi is possibly one of my favourite “Beanie Boo-style” Beanie Babies and not just because he was given to me as a Birthday present! I’ve wanted him for so long, but just never got round to buying him for whatever reason.

He has the sweetest face and his fur is such a beautiful, luxurious colour.

Kodi is also available as a Ty Classic, which I don’t have yet, so one day I may have to get him a big brother!

For those interested, Kodi is also currently available on Amazon in the UK.

Do you have Kodi in your collection? What are your thoughts on him? Leave a comment below!

I won a limited edition Fraya Beanie Baby!

Monday, May 20th, 2024

Hi everyone! I’m so excited! I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I won a limited edition, numbered Fraya Beanie Baby!

I entered a competition on Instagram held by Ty UK, and couldn’t believe that I (along with a few others) won!

Fraya the flamingo is one of the latest Beanie Baby releases, along with Emmett the dinosaur and Domino the panda.

She is the most beautiful, bright pink colour with turquoise coloured, long legs and a bright yellow beak. The underside of her wings is a pistachio green. She really is quite a colourful Beanie Baby!

My limited edition Fraya Beanie Baby

Here she is! My gorgeous, sealed Fraya the flamingo! Numbered 23/30!

Limited Edition Numbered Fraya Flamingo Ty Beanie Baby

I love the little picture on the front with all three Beanie Babies from this set sat around an erupting volcano, with Fraya dipping her feet in the river.

She also has an additional 30th Anniversary hang tag. From what I gather, it is also numbered, but I haven’t opened, and will not be opening the packaging to see it properly.

You can just about see it from the picture below, just poking out from behind the “Ty” hang tag.

It just goes to show that it is actually worth entering the Ty Instagram competitions!

Will I be selling her?

Unfortunately no. I’m so happy to have won her and can’t see myself ever selling her. She will have a special place in my collection.

Is Fraya my first competition win?

Also, no. I have actually entered these competitions before and won a limited edition numbered Silver II Beanie Baby!

She is numbered 22/20 and was also another Ty UK competition win!

Again, I will not be selling her as she is my absolute favourite Beanie Baby competition win!

She also has the sweetest face! How could I possibly sell her?!

I’m so happy to have won these two, and I cannot thank Ty UK enough for holding these competitions and allowing us the chance to own one of these adorable, limited edition Beanie Babies!
