Carter's Just One Year Plush Rabbit

Carter's Just One Year Plush Bunny Rabbit


HOW MUCH WOULD YOU PAY FOR A PLUSH RABBIT? 


Does your child have a prized plush animal? What would you do if he lost his coveted stuffed animal? And finally, what lengths would you go to replace it?

Many young children love the incredibly soft plush rabbits by Carter called 'Just One Year.' This rabbit has been produced in many styles and colors and replacements for a specific lost rabbit are somewhat hard to find. If you are one of those parents trying to replace a specific Carter's plush toy or just someone who wants to replace the one they owned when they were young, don't despair. 

You may be able to find your rabbit on eBay. The one you are looking for may not be available today and you may have to create a saved search on eBay to eventually find the one you are looking for.  If you don't know how to do that, please visit this page and look for the instructions on how to create a saved search on eBay. The page is actually about replacing a favorite mug (which I had to do) but the technique used on eBay is the same.

JUST ONE YEAR PLUSH BUNNIES ON EBAY

The most valuable Carter's Just One Year plush bunny that I have seen is this one with allover white fur and dark chocolate brown on the inside of his feet and his ears. It sold more than ten years ago in 2011 for $164.50, most likely to a desperate parent. I am sure that he fetched more than others because of the fact that he was a retired toy that was still new. However, many Carter's rabbits are available for much less than that. I see them new, used and vintage ranging from around $10 to $130 plus shipping. Click here to see which of these rabbits are available on eBay right now.

A Carter's bunny rabbit would make an excellent, high quality Easter Bunny!

Is there a Carter's bunny rabbit in your home or maybe another treasured plush toy? How much would you pay to replace a lost and treasured plush animal?

See you
on eBay!

Sophie la Girafe Baby Teether Review

sophie la girafe teether
Discover the iconic Sophie la Girafe Teether who has been making babies happy since the 1960s!
As a newish grandmother, I was recently introduced to Sophie la Girafe. I had heard of Sophie before but never seen her firsthand. Sophie is a worldwide phenomenon. She’s been carefully handmade in Paris, France since May 25, 1961, and because she is handmade, no two are exactly alike. Since the 1960s, over 70 million Sophies have been sold. That is one successful toy.

See for yourself how Sophie is made in this short Youtube video from the maker:


And here's a longer video, which gives a more thorough look at how the toy is made but more importantly, a very good description of how and why this toy is good for your baby. It demonstrates babies in action with the toy, exactly as I saw my grandson use her. Note that the first part of the video is not in English but the second part is.


Sophie is made from natural rubber, which is soft, flexible and lightweight and therefore feels good to handle. She is painted with food-grade paint, which is perfect for babies who are teething. I watched my six-month old grandson during his visit last week and was amazed at how much he enjoyed handling and yes, chewing on Sophie. 

Sophie’s giraffe form is perfect at providing many places for your baby to grab hold of as well as cram into his or her mouth. Think ears, legs and neck. I cannot think of another word that is better than cram because that is exactly what a baby will attempt to do with her. Better, of course, that whatever your baby is trying to put into his or her mouth is a safe item like this teether.

Sophie also emits a sound when squeezed that the company calls “a mischievous and legendary pouet." When your baby hears that sound, he knows Sophie is around.

Care is easy. Just wash Sophie with soapy water and a damp cloth. As my son learned, Sophie should not be submerged in water. The company also says not to sterilize Sophie. 

Sophie comes packed in a few different ways so you can gift something as simple as this amazing teether in the typical giraffe format or you can gift a teething ring, a double-handled cup, a plush toy, a bath time toy, a blanket or a gift set. There is even a line of party supplies so that you can host a Sophie-themed party. Check out all of the items that are available in Sophie’s complete store here on Amazon.

In case you are wondering why Sophie is a ‘girafe’ and not a ‘giraffe’, it is because the word with the single F is the French spelling of giraffe.

I feel perhaps a bit disloyal when I add that this teether is also available as a deer and a camel.

Love your babies!

Roots Canada: A True Life Baby Story

Roots Canada: A True Life Baby Story
On October 31, 2007, Evangelina Manu was off to work at a Montreal Roots Canada outlet. She noticed a van outside and two men anxiously standing by. Inside the van, a woman was delivering a baby and, very quickly, a newborn baby girl was born and exposed to the cool October air.

Evangelina sprung into action and headed for the Roots Baby section where she purchased a sleeper, a blanket and a hat to cover the baby.

Ms. Manu reported, "The whole event was really special to me because I had just had my own daughter 11 months prior, so it was very moving to watch someone do the same. It's such an amazing story for everyone involved and was such a great way to start the morning!

She certainly has that right and this baby was lucky to start out life in some wonderful Roots Baby wear! A customer for life? Perhaps. Hopefully, the baby born that day at least knows this heartwarming story.

Click here to see what Roots Canada baby items are available on eBay right now.

See you 
at Roots!
