Custom Plush Toys To Make People Feel Better

It’s heartbreaking to see an ill child in a hospital and looking so sad. A nice way to pick up their spirits and give them a new friend is through plush toys. They are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces and they are something that isn’t just restricted to kids. Cuddle toys as handouts in hospitals help spread happiness and you could help make your brand associated with this. It’s not just in hospitals though that plush toys can make a difference. Below are some other ways you could use them.

1) Charities and Fund Raising Events: Why not support a local cause and show the community you care. Custom plush toys are ideal for fundraising events for non-profits or for charities. Offer them when people make a certain sized donation. Not only will it reinforce your charity to the receiver, but it will also give them a friendly reminder for years to come. They can become collectibles if you introduce a different character each year to help entice people to keep coming back to your charity and support it. They could also be in the special “prize” basket that you raffle off.

2) Gifts For Team Members: Plush toys don’t have to be restricted to kids. In the new work environment where so many people are now working from home without the office contact, why not give them to your employees. You can customise them with a supporting reinforcing message that they are not alone and are still part of a team. This will help invoke a feeling of belonging and will show your employees that you care for them. They can help motivate your staff and make them feel special.

3) Giveaways At Hospitals: This is one of the most obvious, as we have already discussed this a little above, but hospitals are the perfect place to hand out plush toys. They can be given to both patients, adults and children, along with caregivers or hospital staff. I would challenge anyone to say it doesn’t bring a smile to a person’s face when they receive one of these. They are the perfect gift to help uplift someone’s mood, whether it is a patient who is ill or a hard-working staff member on another 12-hour shift. These cute toys make the best friends for patients to keep them engaged throughout the day and give them something to smile about.

4) Preschools And Kindergartens: Focusing just on the kids, another great way to use custom plush toys is by giving them away at schools for young kids. It won’t promote anything to the kids, but when they take them home and the parents see where they have come from, you have an opportunity to not just promote your brand, but also know you have given a child a lovely toy that could become their best friend for years to come.

They may be overlooked as a useful promotional product, but plush toys are very powerful and you can target specific demographics by using them.
