This year has been absolutely incredible for innovative, interactive toys, but one line has truly captured hearts (and awards!). We are thrilled to introduce you to BIGiggles Talking Plush from the renowned Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Co., recently crowned the Plush Toy of the Year by the Australian Toy Association (ATA). Move over, other toys—there’s a new, furry sensation in town, and it’s ready for fun!
As a parent constantly on the lookout for toys that are equal parts adorable, engaging, and well-made, I was eager to get my hands on one. And let me tell you, BIGiggles did not disappoint. My daughter, Miss P, and I have been putting Phoebe the Unicorn through her paces, and the results have been nothing short of magical.
What Are BIGiggles Talking Plush Toys?
Designed for children ages 4 and up, BIGiggles are a revolutionary line of interactive, wearable plush friends. Each character stands about eight inches tall, making them the perfect size for little hands to hold, carry, and play with for hours on end.
Choose your child’s new best friend from four utterly charming characters:
- Percy the Pup: For the aspiring pet owner with a playful bark.
- Phoebe the Unicorn: A magical, mythical companion for dreamers.
- Bruce the Koala: A cute and cuddly buddy from down under.
- Diego the Llama: For the child who loves a quirky, stylish friend.
Endless Laughs & Interactive Features
This isn’t your average stuffed animal. BIGiggles are packed with personality and features designed to spark imagination and giggles.
- Cute & Posable: Each character features an adorable bobblehead, articulated and posable arms, and cute dangling legs. They’re incredibly soft and perfect for cuddling.
- Tickle Their Tummy: Give their belly a gentle tickle, and you’ll be rewarded with a delightful giggle—a surefire way to make any child smile.
- Record & Repeat Magic: This is the star of the show! Press the circle on your BIGiggle’s belly. You’ll hear a signal, say something fun, and watch as your plush pal repeats it back to you verbatim. It’s hilarious and perfect for practicing words, telling jokes, or sharing secrets.
- Six Fun Voice Effects: But it doesn’t stop there! Press the button again to cycle through six crazy voice modes: Normal, Robot, Chipmunk, Echo, Giant, and Bug. Your child can make their BIGiggle sound silly, spooky, or supersized, multiplying the creative play possibilities.
- Tilt ‘n’ Talk: Tilt your BIGiggle upside down, and he’ll give a firm “No!”—a fun, reactive feature that adds to their lifelike charm.
The Genius Wearable Shoulder Feature
This might be our favorite part. Every BIGiggles Talking Plush includes a clever “fur disc” (a sturdy felt circle with a strong adhesive back).
- Simply pop the disc under your child’s shirt.
- The plush sticks securely to the disc, allowing their new furry friend to perch happily on their shoulder, just like a pirate’s parrot or a wizard’s familiar.
- When playtime is over, the disc easily attaches to the bottom of the plush for safekeeping, so you’ll never lose it.
This feature makes BIGiggles the perfect companion for adventures around the house, encouraging imaginative role-play. Miss P loved having Phoebe “help” her with her chores and even sit with her during reading time.
Simple & Practical for Parents
We know that fun features are great, but practicality is key for parents. BIGiggles delivers here, too.
- Easy On/Off: A simple switch on the back lets you conserve battery life when the fun is done for the day.
- No Lost Parts: The integrated shoulder disc storage means no small pieces to lose.
- Perfect Size: At eight inches, they are substantial enough to feel special but compact enough to be a fantastic stocking stuffer or travel buddy.
Our Personal Verdict: A Must-Hive Holiday Hit!
After a week with Phoebe the Unicorn, it’s clear why BIGiggles won its award. The quality is excellent, the fur is super soft, and the features are robust and responsive. Miss P is utterly enchanted. The record-and-repeat feature, especially with the robot voice, has her in stitches daily. It’s a toy that encourages conversation, creativity, and constant laughter.
Watch out, Fingerlings! BIGiggles Talking Plush combines the collectibility kids love with a level of interactivity that truly stands out. It’s more than a toy; it’s a companion. This promises to be the stocking stuffer success of the season.
A Special Holiday Treat from Phoebe the Unicorn
To get you in the holiday spirit, we asked our new unicorn friend, Phoebe, to read a classic. Enjoy this festive reading of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clark Moore!
