Buc-ee's Warmy

Most stuffed animals just sit there. This one warms up. Pop Buc-ee the Beaver in the microwave and you've got a toasty, weighted cuddle buddy for a cold night, or chill him in the freezer for a summer afternoon in Texas.

He's made by Warmies, so people search for him as the Buc-ee's Warmie, the Buc-ee's Warmies plush, the microwavable Buc-ee or the Buc-ee lavender plush. Same Buc-ee.

The honest notes. Follow the Warmies heating directions exactly. Microwaves vary, and more time is not better, so an adult should handle the heating for little kids. He's scented with lavender, which is lovely if you like lavender and a dealbreaker if you don't, so know your audience before gifting. He's weighted, which makes him more of a lap and bedtime buddy than a toss-around toy. As gifts go, he's a hit with kids, college students and more grown-ups than will admit it.
