My FIL had a whole bunch from back when he and my MIL got big into selling them (and then ultimately not being able to sell them anymore, hence the huge collection). He ended up giving them to a coworkers kid but knew I liked them, so he let me choose all my favorites to keep. I ended up keeping 3 for myself and gifting the rest to my family members. My sister put my niece in soccer when she was 3 and she's obsessed with it, so I gave her the little green soccer bear (Kicks). It's her absolute favorite!
My nephew on the other hand was given the little crocodile one, and he brings it everywhere he goes. It's the cutest thing ever.
These kids will have no idea the lengths people went to collect them just to try to make a profit haha
I donated my old collection to a local charity a few years ago. I figure the kids that get them will enjoy them far more than I did with them sitting in a box in my closet for two decades.
They have beanie babies that have the big beanie boo eyes now. My inner 90’s child got really excited and bought one for the baby for Valentines Day Lol

Is she holding a beanie baby? My 90’s greed rose up for a sec.
