Does anyone else have a house full of beanie babies?

[imsorry]

I've got them everywhere! You know in Beauty and the Beast when Gaston says "I use antlers in all of my decorating?" I say "I use beanies in all of my decorating!".

 

[pattyT]

LOL
my DD banned them all to plastic containers in the basement -
but they are not allowed to leave the house!

 

[holycow]

[mtblujeans]

Oh....just one room full! But, they are all the way up to the ceiling!

We have 100+ beanie babies, and we're not allowed to part with any. I don't mind too much, they don't take up too much space, and they are kinda cute. I was one of the crazy moms driving to every Mcdonalds in 100 mile radius trying to get all the teenies too. What were we thinking? But I didn't collect them for any reason except my daughter LOVED them and played with them ALL.

We used to. We threw the entire collection up on ebay a couple years ago (100+) and made a couple hundred dollars. It was a guy looking to open a trading cards/collectibles store, so I think we got him off to a good start.

I used to have a big plastic bin stuffed full of all bears, but sold them at the flea market last fall.

I did keep a few though, Garcia, Princess, Peace, Glory, USA and I love Florida. Plus I have one of The Attic Treasures Collection, his name is Logan and he is a light brown bear wearing a denim jacket with a Canadian Flag on the back. My sister got him for me when she went to Canada for a weekend getaway.

I had a bennie collection before I had kids. My DD now loves to play with them.

My neighbor just had a garage sale and sold hundreds of them in perfect condtion for $1 each (or less, maybe it was 2 for 1$) anyway we ended up with more! We have a bennie decoration shelf, but DD pulls them all over and spreds them around the house. I don't worry anymore about tags or perfect condtion. She is having fun and that is all that maters.

(I had a thing for the bears so we have a few of them.) aw:

 

[Meriweather]

I have only Disney beanies.
Over 350 of them

 

[Fire14]

yes to the tune of 2 and half collections plus my mothers are waiting up in MI for me to DO SOMETHING with them. I also have buddys up the wazoo.

 

[snappy]

Yes, and my brother-in-law and sister made a great Noah's Ark for them to reside in.

 

[scarlett873]

My ex husband and I collected Beanies. I got the buddies and a few of the bears in the divorce...lol. The buddies are out in the garage in plastic tubs! I do have my brittania, princess, germania...and a few others I can't remember...now I only buy them if I like them...or if I feel like it...lol

 

[eclectics]

Just about 20 of the Kit Kats. I guess that's just a drop in the bucket but I don't need any more collections!

 

[minnie56]

But for me it's a 'cupboard' full of them as I have not collected any new ones in years! Seemed a good idea at the time?

 

[TENIA66]

i'm surounded

 

[missmulan]

I recently gave all mine to an orphanage in China. The little girls do appreciate a pal of their own. Someone I knew was going to China and so that's how they went.

 

[mrsheppo]

Yes, I have about 200 of them, mostly bears. I collected them for about 5 years. They only ones I buy now are the Christmas bears. I am saving the for my graddaughter when she gets a little older.

 

[monarchsfan16]

I packed a lot of my beanies into a rubbermaid container this summer, but before that they were all over my room. Don't let that fool you though, I still have a bunch. I have a wall hanger that's got 20 or 25 bears in it, plus some on top of the hanger thing. Then I've got a bunch all over my headboard (it's a bookcase headboard). The ones that I've left out are all bears, holiday beanies, birthday beanies, or just plain cute beanies.

 

[Planogirl]

We gave several away but DS has several bears in his room and I kept some holiday BB's and a few that were just too cute to part with. I've always been sad that they didn't stay more popular.

I bought around 80 of them off ebay for her birthday last year.. she also has buddies up the wazoo.. she gets a new one every birthday, christmas, valentines and easter.. then in between and like last year a bunch at once.. she's been collecting for about 8 years
