The North American term for what the British call a 'soft toy' — a cuddly plush toy shaped like an animal, filled with stuffing, and designed for hugging, collecting, or decorating a bed. Stuffed animals are a childhood staple and have made a serious comeback with adults who collect them, use them as emotional support objects, or buy them as gifts. From giant teddy bears at carnival booths to limited-edition character plushies, the stuffed animal economy is very much alive.
She still sleeps with the stuffed animal her dad won for her at the fair when she was six.
