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.
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!
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!

Hi everyone!
I’m so excited to show you these guys! My new Anniversary Beanie Babies arrived from The Magical Gift Boutique!
These guys are the latest set of Anniversary Beanie Babies, but the first to drop the “II” after their name!
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”.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
I really love Molasses and think he is possibly one of my favourites of this set due to his vivid colours.
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, followed by Stanley and Foster.
It’s less than a week until Easter now, so I thought I’d share my favourite Ty Beanies that I personally think would make great Easter gifts!
Some of these have been released this year, but I’ve included some from previous years that I really love.
These are my own personal favourites, so let me know in the comments who you would add to this list!

Meringue, Peaches and Cream
Meringue, Peaches and Cream are the Easter Bunny Beanie Bellies released for 2024!
Ty redesigned their ears this time from being floppy, lop-eared bunnies to the traditional upright rabbit ears. I think this actually gives them a slightly cuter, inquisitive look that I prefer.
They would look perfect in an Easter basket and make fun Easter gifts!
These three adorable Beanie Balls just look like little balls of sorbet or ice cream. I’ve said it previously, but if you took Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon and added them to Meringue, Peaches and Cream above, you could make a pavlova!
Nevertheless, these little Easter bunnies would make perfect Easter Gifts!
Corwin was the complimentary Easter Chick to last year’s Easter Bunny, Hops (above).
He has a brightly, decorated egg shell, that I think would look so eye-catching in an Easter basket!
He was so popular last year, and I completely understand why! His bright yellow body with his colourful eggshell, his blue eyes, along with his sparkly orange beak and feet are very attractive indeed!

The second parcel I ordered because I just couldn’t resist them! I decided to order Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon who were all available on special offer in an Easter Bunny Beanie Balls bundle.
I thought I’d try testing them out in our brand new photo light box!
Meringue and Cream
How cute are this pair?! I’m currently missing Peaches, but I have managed to source her to complete the set and she should be arriving shortly.
I’m loving the new upright ear design on this year’s Easter Bunnies, as well as their very sweet faces that make them look utterly scrumptious!
They also have the most adorable paw prints on their paws!
They both have little bunny tails and they are covered from head to toe in yummy-looking sprinkles!
One thing I really like is how good they all look together as I’m thinking of adding them to a small Easter Beanie display. All the colours compliment each other and look amazing!
I can’t wait to add Peaches to the mix as I think she really will finish off the set.
Binx is also a lovely addition to the Beanie Bellies range and her eyes really are beautiful.

Meringue, Peaches and Cream Beanie Bellies
Aren’t these bunnies just the cutest?!
Meringue, Peaches and Cream are the latest Easter Bunny Beanie Bellies available for Spring 2024.
Ty have been releasing sets of three Easter Bunny Beanie Bellies for the past couple of years. This year however, they have had a slight change of design. Previous Easter Bunnies had floppy ears, but this year, Ty have decided to go for upright bunny ears.
I actually love this design change and think it suits the bunnies, perhaps even more than the previous lop-eared look (even though they were also very cute).
I love their names too (although they make me a little hungry!).
There is also a Easter Bunny Beanie bundle special offer currently at The Magical Gift Boutique! The bundle consists of Meringue, Cream and the next Beanie Boo on this list, Dusty the Easter Bunny!
Dusty is one of the two Easter Beanie Boo additions this year.
This little cutie is probably one of my favourites this year. I am in LOVE with her little chick slippers, her tie-dyed ears and tuft of yellow fur, not to mention her cute, little pink nose!
She makes a bright and colourful addition to the Beanie Boos collection this Easter!
There are three, scrumptious Easter Bunny Beanie Balls available this year too!
If you had Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon in a bowl, they would look just like a sorbet or an ice cream! They look and sound truly delicious!
At the moment, these three little cuties are on offer as part of a Easter Bunny Beanie Balls bundle at The Magical Gift Boutique! Catch them before they “hop” away!
There are also two new Squishy Beanies (previously Squish a Boos) to add to the Easter list.
I absolutely love the pastel colours on Floppity and Pippa! They would make fun Easter decorations this Spring.
They are both available in a medium 10″ and a large 14″ size.
The large versions of Floppity and Pippa are currently available on special offer as part of an Easter Squishy Beanies bundle at The Magical Gift Boutique!
I think they design change for the Easter Bunnies is perfect and Meringue, Cream and Peaches make the perfect additions to the Beanie Bellies range.
Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon are also adorable! I love everything about them. Their colours are amazing and they are so cute that you just want to carry them around in your pocket!
I also love the food-related names (even though they do make me a little hungry!). If you take Meringue, Cream, Peaches, Strawberry, Kiwi and Lemon, you could make a delicious pavlova!
What are your thoughts on the new Spring/Easter Beanie range? Who is your favourite? Could you also eat pavlova right now? Leave a comment below!
From what I can see, Magenta II looks like she could be a brand new Beanie Baby! By that, I mean is that she isn’t based on a current Beanie Baby. The only thing I can think is that she could be something to do with New Face Teddy (Magenta), but I’m not sure about this.
I LOVE her bright pink ribbon covered in white polka dots!
I adore this new series of 30th Anniversary Beanie Babies!
I think my favourite of this series may be Hope II, but I also love little Legs II and I love the colours on Magenta II. Oh, I can’t decide, they’re all so cute!
Have you spotted the Beanie Babies in series 7? Who is your favourite? Leave a comment below!
Celebrate II was first released in the USA as part of series 5. However, he has now been released in series 6 for the UK!
I love the purple colour of Celebrate II and his little purple-pink ribbon. It feels like one of the 30th Anniversary Beanie Babies I MUST have in my collection because of his embroidered “30 Years” Ty heart.
Following on from last series’ Silver II, we will now be getting his counterpart Amber II!
I remember saying in a previous post how I would love Silver II to have his companion kitty, and I’m happy to say that these two will be reunited again!
The difference this time is that Amber II has been created in the design of the older style kitties, which I absolutely LOVE! It almost feels like Ty has been listening when I said I prefer the old-style cats of the 90s!
The final addition to the Anniversary Beanie Babies will be…Bananas II!
Bananas II is named after the original Bananas, but has a design more akin to Schweetheart.
I love his colour combination of smoky grey and lilac. There is something quite calming about it, yet still retaining some of the crazy colour mixes that I love.
I am so happy that Celebrate II is finally coming to the UK! I’ve been waiting for this Beanie to arrive since the last series, when it was announced that he would be part of the 5th series in the USA!
I’m so happy that Silver and Amber will be together again! I’m also glad that Ty went with the old-style, laying down design for her instead of a sitting position.
Bananas is a great addition to the 30th Anniversary range and I’m happy that we have another crazy colour combination again! I also love that he looks more like Schweetheart, rather than the original Bananas as I preferred that design overall.
I’m so glad that I’ve preordered this set from The Magical Gift Boutique as I think they will be very popular.
I’m slightly sad that with it being December, there are no Christmas-themed re-releases joining the gang, but I guess there weren’t any Halloween or Thanksgiving Anniversary Beanies either. But I absolutely love the new additions that we are getting!
What are your thoughts on series 6? Who is your favourite? Leave a comment below!
Have you “herd” the exciting news? There are more a-moo-sing Beanies out this month!
Sorry, I couldn’t help it!
Seriously though, there are some fantastic new releases out this month! I have three of them to show you already below that I bought from one of my favourite online shops, The Magical Gift Boutique!
NOVEMBER BEANIE BOOS AND BEANIE BELLIES IN MY COLLECTION SO FAR…
I’ve been so looking forward to having Jenni in my collection!
Not only are her pastel colours purrfect, she kind of reminds me of the original Peace bears and Sammy from the 90s. Obviously, she has the newer glittery button eyes, but the colours on each one are so different, that each one is unique!
Her Birthday is on 14th September and her poem reads:
Four soft little paws Without the sharp claws All pastel and pretty A wonderful Kitty!
Fisher is a delightful little penguin with pale grey feathers. She is so adorable and I’m glad that Ty have created a slightly different design for her rather than a traditional black and white penguin.
Rukus is probably one of my favourite Beanie Bellies this November! She reminds me a little of Flower the Skunk from the Disney movie, Bambi.
I love how there are little extra details, such as her paw prints have been adapted to look a little bit like skunk tracks and she has extra fluffy fur on her head and tail.
I’m really interested to see how the material differs on a larger size, especially with a “fluffier” Beanie Belly like Stubby. I can’t wait to show you all how they look in reality!
MORE BEANIE BALLS AVAILABLE THIS NOVEMBER!
There are four new Beanie Balls designs also available this November!
The new Beanie Bellies are absolutely fantastic and I’m over the moon with the new designs!
I think my favourite of the new regular-sized Beanie Bellies is probably Herdly, closely followed by Rukus. Although to be honest, it was hard to pick a favourite this time as they are all so cute!
I am looking forward to seeing the new medium-sized Beanie Bellies in real life! And I can’t wait for Mango and Stubby to arrive (and I may sneakily order a Penelope at some point!…)
The Beanie Balls are great too! I think my two favourites would have to be Pigasso and Gilly.
