Title: How old do you have to be to stop buying plush animals or kid toys?
Post by: MichelleHW101 on August 29, 2011, 10:12:28 am
I stopped buying stuffed animals when I turned 30 thinking I was too old for them.  My room is cluttered and reminds me of a kids room but I won’t throw any of them away.  My sister-in-law is near 40 and she still loves to get them.  So I guess if you really like something it shouldn’t matter how old you are, if you like it, then go ahead and get it.

"Adults use toys and play to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, remember and reinforce lessons from their youth, discover their identity, exercise their minds and bodies, explore relationships, practice skills, and decorate their living spaces."  ;)

I am 3X... :P and I still have some around me in fact I even told my husband those stuff animals are our family which he doesn't seem to have a problem.  ;D
Don't think that's a problem as long as they make you happy!!!!

Stuff animals are nice to have around the bedroom as a cute companion. I used to sleep with my stuffed panda bear when I was younger. I also have my cute Sorcerer Mickey Mouse dressed in his Fantasia outfit. :heart: I don’t play with my stuff toy. I just leave them on my bed.  :)

I agree with those who say there is no such thing as too old. Hey, you only live once and it goes by too fast not to enjoy it.  I still like dolls and stuffed animals and LOVE animated movies and I am 58 and have two grown sons (who by the way are very amused by it) but we all consider it an art form.  Hey I care less and less every day whether someone agrees with me or not and figure I have a right to like what I want especially if it doesn't hurt anyone else. My philosophy is live and let live.

You never get too old for new toys.

I still have my stuffed animals from when I was a kid and  people still gave me stuffed animals like my parents and boyfriends into the present in my 30's.  I've only bought two stuffed animals for myself the last one was in January of this year it was a Snoopy doll because I love Snoopy and I saw it in the store and had to have him.  The rest of them have been presents from other people.  Other than that it's been a several  years since anyone has given me a stuffed animal for a present but I still have them displayed in my room and I will always have them.  I will not give them away.  My newest Snoopy sits on my bed right on the pillow next to me.

You're never too old for some plush animals! A lot of mine were given to me by friends, so I would never be able to give them up.

I honestly,don't have any anymore I think.
But if I liked one well enough I sure as heck would get it!

My mother died at 84 and she had lots of stuffed toys 3 of them are on a shelf in my bedroom now.  So you are never to old.  After we (my 3 brothers and I) left home my mom would decorate with her stuffed toys for Christmas.

What a cherished  memory.

You can never really be too old to buy them. My grandma LOVED them, especially Beanie Babies, I still buy them when I see them, they remind me of her!

I live by the wisdom of a bumper stick I once saw: "He who dies with the most toys, WINS!"   ;D  [I realized that the older I get, the bigger the "toys" get.   :thumbsup: ]

I still have most of my stuffed animals and I'm 41.  The last few I got were stuffed penguins as I love penguins.  One was a Chirstmas one that danced to a tune.  One I got as a small "bonus" from my manager at work - came into work one day and there he was sitting all cute and cuddly at my desk.  I've got my eye on a stuffed "Caddyshack" gopher which dances to the "I'm Alright" theme - was toooo funny.  I always listen to my inner child.  Trying to be a good role model for my nieces and nephews - to show that you can mature, but never have to fully "grow-up".   ;)

I still have stuffed animals. I believe there's no age limit for that. I'm 28 years old.

You're never too old for toys!  I have a box full of stuffed animals, and favorite toys from childhood stashed in my "fun" box.  I couldn't bring myself to get rid of them if I tried.   ;D

Your never too old to buy or receive plush toys.  Especially around Christmas time.
