Below is a glimpse of the new Peter Rabbit Beanie Baby!

He has the cutest face and I love his long ears!

I couldn’t bring myself to bounce this Beanie Bouncer though, I’d be totally afraid of ruining him!

He is also available at The Magical Gift Boutique for pre-order! I also have him on pre-order so I’ll post up some pictures of him when he arrives here!

Where can I buy the new 2025 Peter Rabbit Beanie Baby and Beanie Bouncer from?

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!

Canyon Beanie Baby 1998

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…

Canyon Beanie Baby 5th Generation Hang Tag

and here is his 6th generation tush tag…

Canyon Beanie Baby 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!

Canyon Beanie Baby Inside Hang Tag

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!

New Beanie Bellies – Toffee the Papillon Dog!

Ty Toffee Brown Papillon Dog Beanie Bellies 2025

The links below are affiliate links. If you purchase something by clicking through one of the links below, we may receive a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything additional and helps to fund this site.

Hi everyone! It’s been way too long, but I’m so excited that there will be a new Beanie Bellies arriving in the UK soon! Toffee the papillon dog will shortly be making an appearance and I’m so glad that my favourite go-to place for Beanies, The Magical Gift Boutique, will be stocking her!

Toffee is absolutely gorgeous, with dark brown fur making the perfect contrast with her toffee-brown face and belly. Her sparkly golden eyes really pop. But her most striking feature is her fluffy black ears, flecked with rainbow colours!

She has the signature Beanie Bellies paw pads (please Ty, never get rid of the toe beans! They’re adorable!) and a boopable brown nose.

Toffee is available to pre-order from The Magical Gift Boutique website and she is due to be shipped out in mid-September!

Will you be adding the adorable Toffee to your collection?

I Thrifted a £1 Chip Beanie Buddy!

Friday, January 31st, 2025

Hi everyone! I just LOVE thrifting Beanies! This time, I managed to find a Chip Beanie Buddy for only £1!

She was untagged, but I just had to bring her home with me. I mean, who wouldn’t?

Chip Calico Cat Ty Beanie Buddy
She wasn’t exactly unclean as such, but I gave her a wash and a brush she’s come up great! And still so lovely and soft!

Just look at that adorable face!

Chip Calico Cat Ty Beanie Buddy
While she may not be BRAND new, for £1 I think she was a bargain!

The wonderful caramel brown and black colouring on her back also washed up lovely, as did her long tail. Plus she smells all lovely and clean now!

Chip Calico Cat Ty Beanie Buddy
I didn’t actually have the Buddy version of Chip, so it was lovely to find her. She is just purrfect! And she looks like she’s glad to have a new home!

Chip Calico Cat Ty Beanie Buddy

I just love thrifting new Beanies. It’s always a surprise what you will find! This time I found a Chip Beanie Buddy, but who knows what I’ll find next!

I found Chip at the Emmaus Charity Superstore in Sheffield, which is possibly the best charity shop I’ve visited (they have goats!). They are also not massively overpriced like a lot of the more popular charity shops have sadly become.

I found a few McDonalds Teenie Beanie Boos there too for 25p each, but to be honest, I already had them so I left them behind.

Do you love thrifting Beanies? What was the last Beanie you thrifted? Leave a comment below!

The Next Three Original Beanie Baby leaks!

Thursday, June 13th, 2024

New Original Beanie Baby leaks, Gus Penguin, Hudson Moose and Savvy Fox

Hi everyone! Have you heard about the next three new Beanie Baby leaks for the new “Original” Beanie Babies range?

All I know so far are their names, and I’m still awaiting images and more information on them, but I’m so excited to see these next three!

So far, what I do know is that their names will be Gus, Hudson and Savvy!

Gus Penguin

What I know so far is that Gus will be a penguin. I’m hoping that he will have a look akin to Waddle, but it will be exciting to see how he will turn out!

Hudson Moose

Hudson is going to be a new moose addition to the Beanie Babies range.

I get the feeling that he will probably be similar in appearance to Chocolate, at least I’m hoping so!

I’m hoping for a crazy colour combination, but I’ve seen a promo poster with a “Chocolate-like” moose, so he will probably be more of a natural colour palette.

Savvy Fox

Savvy is a complete unknown too. I’m kind of hoping that she will be an updated Sly, but maybe Ty have “outfoxed” me completely on this one!

Sorry, bad joke.

I’m interested to see how Savvy will turn out though. Whether she will have “natural” colours, or wacky colours. I’m hoping for the latter, but either will be wonderful!

My thoughts on the new Beanie Baby leaks…

I am loving the sound of these new Beanie Babies and would really like some more wacky colour combinations as they are my favourite. However, I get the feeling that Hudson will be more like Chocolate, which would also be awesome.

I can’t wait to add their pages to Beaniepedia, but I don’t have enough information just yet to create a page for them. Hopefully, that will change shortly.

I’m so excited to see how this set of three will turn out, so stay tuned for updates!

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.

Limited Edition Numbered Fraya Flamingo Ty Beanie Baby

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!

Limited Edition Numbered Silver II Ty 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?!

Limited Edition Numbered Silver II Ty Beanie Baby

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!

Hi everyone!

Apologies for not being as active lately! We’ve been travelling across Europe and I’ve not had much time to post.

I have had a couple of bundles of Beanies sent to my parents’ house for when I get back to the UK! My Dad has kindly taken pictures of them for me and they all look super adorable! I’m so looking forward to seeing them when I return home!

The first bundle that arrived was the brand new Beanie Babies set for the UK!

Emmett, Domino and Fraya Original Beanie Babies

Emmett, Domino and Fraya Ty Original Beanie Babies 2024

I’m absolutely loving this new set of Beanie Babies! They all have amazing colours and Ty have done a great job in creating a modern look while keeping the charm of the original Beanie Babies of the 90’s.

The designs are definitely based on older Beanie Babies. Emmett look’s like an updated Rex, Fraya is undoubtedly a modern take on Pinky and Domino is almost identical to Fortune.

I bought Emmett, Fraya and Domino in a Beanie Bundle from The Magical Gift Boutique.

Emmett

Emmett’s colours remind me of a volcano with his knobbly, rock-like grey body and bright orange, lava-like tummy. He is so sweet and I would love to see more dinosaur Beanie Babies!

His Birthday on 28th July and his hang tag reads:

If you’re scared and feel alone,
Never think you’re on your own.
Pick me up and hold on tight.
I will comfort you at night.

Emmett the Dinosaur Ty Beanie Babies Hang Tag 2024
I absolutely love Emmett, and I’m holding out hope that Ty will release updated versions of his friends, Steg and Bronty(hint hint Ty!).

Emmett is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Fraya

Fraya’s bright pink body looks so crazy with her turquoise legs, and that’s what I love the most about her.

The underside of her wings are also a kind of “pistachio” green colour, which only adds to her wild colour combination.

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

Come over here and sit awhile,
My bright colors will make you smile.
When you’re with me you’ll be glad,
I’ll make sure you’re never sad.

Fraya the Flamingo Ty Beanie Baby Hang Tag 2024

Fraya’s colours are so vibrant and I think she makes a brilliant addition to the new Beanie Babies range.

Fraya is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Domino

Domino has a beautiful colour combination of a rich, royal blue, together with bright white. Along with her lime green ribbon, her colours really are amazing.

Her Birthday is on 10th April and her poem reads:

If you’re sad, just hold me tight.
Everything will be all right.
Maybe you just never knew,
I am here to comfort you.

Domino the Panda Ty Beanie Babies Hang Tag 2024All of this latest set of Beanie Babies make fantastic additions to the new range, and I can’t wait to see who is next!

Domino is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

The second parcel that I received contained two Beanie Bellies that I just couldn’t resist!

Again, they came from The Magical Gift Boutique

Tippi and Witt

Tippi Giraffe and Witt Fox Ty Beanie Bellies 2024

How adorable are this pair?! Seeing them just makes me smile!

Tippi

Tippi just looks like she needs a cuddle with her “arms” held out and little happy face! I love her yellow and caramel-brown giraffe print pattern.

Her Birthday is on 26th May and her poem reads:

Tasty green leaves way up high
Glisten in the morning sky.
Each for me because I’m tall
I can easily get them all!

Tippi Giraffe Ty Beanie Bellies Hang Tag 2024
She has the cutest little green eyes, and adorable, cream coloured hooves. There is even a tiny bit of pink airbrushing detail inside her ears.

Tippi is available to order on The Magical Gift Boutique!

Witt

Witt is just the cutest little fox with gorgeous blue eyes, black ears and adorable paw pads.

Her Birthday is on 28th April and her poem reads:

I don’t prefer the morning light
I like to sneak around at night.
In the back by your kitchen door
Is my favorite place to explore.

Witt Fox Ty Beanie Bellies Hang Tag 2024
Isn’t she just the cutest?! I love the tiny bit of black airbrushing next to her eyes that really make their glittery blue colour pop out!

Witt is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Tippi and Witt are also currently available on a great deal in a Wildlife Beanie Bellies Bundle from The Magical Gift Boutique, so if you’re also looking for Wuzzy, it could work out cheaper to buy them as a bundle.

How to Clean Beanie Babies

Saturday, April 6th, 2024
The links below are affiliate links. If you purchase something by clicking through one of the links below, we may receive a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything additional and helps to fund this site.

If you’ve got any Beanie Babies that need a bit of TLC, you are probably wondering “What is the best way to clean these guys?”.

I’m hoping I can help you with that in this article.

I would only recommend this method for Beanie Babies that are untagged, are of no particular value and are only intended to be loved.

I found this very unloved, untagged Snip at the bottom of a basket outside in the rain while thrifting in a charity shop and I couldn’t bear to leave her behind! I’ll be giving her a “spa day”, and hopefully in doing so it will show you how to clean your Beanie Babies too!

How to clean your Beanie Baby How to clean your Beanie Baby

She was very grubby, her fur felt bumpy and rough and she was in desperate need of a bath! Luckily, she was very compliant and loved the idea of a little pampering!

What you will need

  • Washing up bowl
  • A baby sponge
  • Distilled vinegar (optional)
  • Bicarbonate of soda (optional)
  • Baby shampoo
  • Hand soap
  • Toothbrush
  • Soft nail brush
  • Slicker brush like this one from Amazon (only for Beanie Babies with long fur)
  • Hairdryer

Step 1 (Optional)

You will only need to do this step if your Beanie Baby is particularly smelly. It can be skipped if they only need a light cleaning.

Fill a washing up bowl with two parts water to one part distilled vinegar. Add in a few teaspoons (I used three here) of bicarbonate of soda and mix well.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Place your Beanie Baby in the washing up bowl with the diluted vinegar mix but try and get them under the water as much as possible. Leave them in the solution for at least 20-30 minutes.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Step 2

 

Rinse off your Beanie Baby well with a shower hose, making sure you rinse out all the vinegar solution.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Next, fill your washing up bowl up with warm, but not too hot water. Add a couple of pumps of baby shampoo and a couple of pumps of hand soap to the water. Swish this around to make it nice and bubbly.

Now for some spa treatment for your Beanie!

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Place your Beanie Baby into the water and grab your baby sponge. Add a pump of baby shampoo and a pump of hand soap to your sponge and softly scrub your Beanie Baby to remove any visible dirt.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Use your toothbrush to gently brush over the fabric to fluff up the fur to fur to make it soft and to remove any stubborn stains.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Step 3

Next, rinse off your Beanie again with the shower hose, ensuring you wash out all of the baby shampoo and hand soap.

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Once your sure all the soap is out, give your Beanie Baby a squeeze to try and get as much water out as possible.

Make sure your toothbrush is clean again and give your Beanie another brush over with it, brushing in the direction of the fur this time.

Step 4

Now it’s time to dry your Beanie Baby!

Grab your hairdryer and blow dry all over on a low setting and try and dry them off as much as possible!

How to clean your Beanie Baby

Give them a brush over with a nail brush or a clean, dry toothbrush. Gently scrub the fabric to fluff up the fur a little, then brush in the direction of the fur to smooth it out. Leave your Beanie Baby in a warm spot to dry thoroughly.

How to clean your Beanie Baby
Once they have dried thoroughly, give them another last brush with a nail brush.

Step 5 (Optional)

This step is only really necessary is you have a Beanie Baby with long fur. As Snip only has short-pile fabric, I didn’t need to use this step.

Grab a baby brush and gently brush over them to loosen any tangles. You may need to try a slicker brush like this one from Amazon for longer fur, but be gentle!

There you have it! You now have a clean Beanie Baby!
