What are other happy clients saying?


"We hired the build your own buddy experience for our daughter’s 6th birthday, and it was absolutely magical! The kids loved picking out their plush animals and stuffing them with the help of the friendly attendants. It was amazing to see their faces light up when they hugged their new buddies for the first time. The fact that these toys are made from recycled materials was an added bonus—it made us feel good about our choice. The team handled everything seamlessly, and I didn’t have to lift a finger. Highly recommend for a stress-free, unforgettable party!"


Emily R., Evanston, IL


"We hosted a family day for our employees and decided to include the 'Make Your Own Plush Animal' experience. It was a HUGE hit! Kids and parents alike were thrilled. The setup was professional, the plush selection was fantastic (we had everything from dinosaurs to unicorns), and the attendants were so patient and fun. It made our event stand out, and we’ve had so many employees ask when we’ll do it again. One of the best decisions we’ve ever made for an event!"


John T., HR Manager, Schaumburg, IL


"We booked this service for our school’s spring carnival, and it was hands-down the most popular attraction of the day! The kids loved creating their own stuffed animals, and parents were thrilled with the eco-friendly aspect. The adoption certificates were such a nice touch, and the team worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. We raised more money than expected because the activity was so well-received. We’ll definitely be booking again next year!"
