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!

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!

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?

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!

Kodi the Beanie Baby Bear!

Thursday, June 6th, 2024

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby

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!

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby

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.

Kodi the Bear Face

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 the Bear Beanie Baby 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!

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby Hang Tag

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…

Kodi the Bear Beanie Baby Bulgarian Import Sticker Hang Tag

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 the Bear

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.

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!

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.

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!

Bumper Beanie Thrifting Haul!

Friday, April 5th, 2024

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share with you my latest thrifting haul! I love getting brand new Beanies, but sometimes there’s something in the thrill of finding older Beanies second-hand!

I stumbled upon this bunch when thrifting at my local charity shop. I think someone must have been having a clear out of their old Beanie key clip collection as there was actually more than what I picked up here.

Beanie Boo and Beanie Baby Thrifting Haul

I found eight tagged Beanie Boo clips with the older solid (non-glitter) eyes and purple hang tags, including Safari, Waddles, Sting, Bugsy, Spells, Rebel, Nibbles and Peanut.

Solid Eye Beanie Boo Clips

Next, there was an untagged Dangler key clip. He is just so adorable!

Dangler Sloth Beanie Boo Key Clip
To follow on with the Dangler theme, I also found a tagged Dangler Ty Flippables!

I love how Ty changed his face to include a little smile on the Flippables version.

Dangler Sloth Ty Flippables Key Clip

Now we have a Speedy key clip from the retired Beanie Ballz range!

I love his little, round body and his eyes are so charming!

Speedy Guinea Pig Beanie Ballz Key Clip

I also found a Hello Kitty Ballerina key clip in pink!

Isn’t she pretty?!

Pink Hello Kitty Ballerina Beanie Baby Key Clip

And finally…

I found this very unloved, untagged Snip that was sitting at the bottom of a basket outside in the rain. I felt very sorry for her so I took her home with me!

She has a few marks on her and is a little grubby, but I have a soft spot for the older cats. I will give her a clean up and I can’t wait to see how she turns out!

Snip Siamese Cat Beanie Baby
The lady in the charity shop sold me all the key clips for £6 and Snip for 50p, making a total of £6.50! Not too bad for thirteen Beanies!

Meet Molasses, Stanley and Foster, The New Anniversary Beanie Babies!

Thursday, March 28th, 2024

Hi everyone! I would like you to meet the brand new Beanie Babies, Stanley, Foster and Molasses!

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.

I’m so excited to show you these guys! My new Beanie Babies arrived from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Ty Anniversary Beanie Babies Stanley Foster and Molasses

When Ty first hinted at these three, everyone (including myself) thought they would be remodelled versions of Slippery, Mooch and Slowpoke. Later their names were announced and they were shown on the Ty instagram page as Stanley II, Molasses II and Foster II, so I assumed that would be what the tag read too.

But when they arrived, I was surprised that the “II” had been dropped! I’m kind of glad though, as they have brand new names so it wouldn’t have made sense to keep using the “II”.

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

Stanley

Stanley Seal Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Front

Stanley is very similar to Slippery, but he has had a complete overhaul in his design. He sports a gorgeous mint-green colour matched with his yellow tummy! I absolutely adore his innocent expression and little blue nose and blue thread whiskers!

Stanley Seal Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Back

He sits just like Slippery did, using his flippers to sit himself upright. It almost looks like he’s sunbathing! I also like how he looks ever so slightly chunkier than Slippery did.

His Birthday is on 4th May (Star Wars Day!) and his hang tag reads:

Calmly sleep the whole night through,
As my flippers comfort you.
You’ll feel safe during the night,
As I hold you very tight.

Slipery Seal Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Hang Tag

I really love Stanley’s crazy colour combination, as I love the colourful Beanie Babies! He kind of has that 90’s vibe going, where Ty made quite a few brightly coloured Beanie Babies.

Stanley is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

Foster

Foster Monkey Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby
Foster is essentially Mooch but coloured a fiery bright red! His face, hands, feet and ears have changed to a pale pink colour, but he has kept the gorgeous ring of fluffy, white fur around his face.

Foster Monkey Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Face
He has a very sweet expression on his face, his sad-looking black button eyes accentuated by his embroidered eyebrows. His black nostrils finish off his look.

Foster Monkey Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Back
On the back, he has a long, bright red tail, which has kept the little curl at the end that Mooch had.

His Birthday is on 3rd February and his poem reads:

I’m a monkey with no phone
But I’m never all alone.
I visit people that I like
By riding over on my bike.

I love this little red monkey and think he makes a welcome addition to the new Beanie Babies collection!

Foster is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

And finally…

Molasses

Molasses Sloth Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Front
Molasses looks like he could be based on Slowpoke with a redesigned face.

He is a vivid, bright orange, with a turquoise face and bright blue stripes over his eyes. His colours are absolutely gorgeous in real life and much better than the photos I could manage to take of him.

Molasses Sloth Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Face
His back is a solid orange with no other colours, but I wouldn’t have expected that. In fact, he kind of looks like he’s wearing an orange, hooded jacket from the back!

Molasses Sloth Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Back
His Birthday is on 7th August and his poem reads:

I may be slow as you can see,
But I don’t let it bother me.
It never keeps my friends away,
Moving slow is just my way.

Molasses Sloth Ty 30th Anniversary Beanie Baby Hang Tag
I really love Molasses and think he is possibly one of my favourites of this set due to his vivid colours.

Molasses is available to order from The Magical Gift Boutique!

My thoughts…

I am absolutely in love with this set! I’ve always loved the brightly coloured Beanie Babies that were released back in the 90’s and I’m so glad that this set is the most brightly coloured so far!

Molasses is probably my favourite overall of the new Beanie Babies, followed by Stanley and Foster.

I bought the Beanie Bundle on The Magical Gift Boutique, which worked out cheaper than buying them individually.
