CLOSED: Aurora World Review and Giveaway

The winner's name has been announced on this post.

Plush toys have always been a big thing for me. As a child I remember having a sweet collection of plush animals, dolls and characters of different shapes, sizes and colors! The love for plush did not diminsh as I stepped into adulthood and I guess my fiancee at the time ( and Hubby right now :>)realized one way to this woman's heart would be with a plush. So on my birthday, the first ever present I got from him was a lovely brown plush teddy called 'Oofy' and "TING" "TING" "TING"....he scored with that!

Sadly with the number of companies introducing plush toys into the market, I personally felt the quality was not as superior as the toys I had as a kid. I hated picking up a toy in the stores and have the synthetic fur left on my fingers. Thus when Bunny girl was born I made sure the only plush toys that stayed in her room were those that passed my 'Pull' test. (Pull the fur, if it comes off throw the toy right into the dustbin!! I know this sounds ruthless but atleast it's safe!!)

A few weeks ago a company mailed me introducing themselves as the world's leading suppliers of affordable, high quality plush gifts. I read a little more about them and decided nothing could influence my set state of mind till I did my 'Pull' test. A few days later a box filled with 4 really cute plush toys arrived. Before handing the toys over to Bunny girl I pulled and .....NOTHING!!! Not only was I holding a handful of cute plush toys but they'd passed my test and yes, they are quality plush toys!
(I was also amazed that this company actually does extensive research and observes stringent quality standards for their products. This just puts them higher in my ranking!)

Thus without any further dilly dallying I want to share my great plush source find......Aurora World, Inc.!

Not only does this company have this amazing collection of the cutest plush toys seen (you even have a collection of eco-plush toys-Aurora Naturally.)but they even have some awesome gift for kids.

Aurora Gift, Inc products do bring the 'gift of smiles' into the lives of a child! Mark this site y'all....you will find some really great gifts for your little ones!


"Can my child learn anything with a plush?"

This Learn with me bear who I call 'Bruny' is not only soft and cuddly but he also acts as a little teacher for your 1 and 2 year olds. His right hand has a little pear motif which when pressed squeaks while the right hand has an apple motif which when moved makes a rattling sound. His cute little dungarees have a little pocket that can be zipped open to fit a crinkly little apple hidden within. 'Bruny' has a velcro strap on his left shoe and a tie-up shoe lace on his right. The soles of his shoes have their own little surprises too. His right sole has a press button flap and hidden inside is a crinkly orange while his left sole has a button up sole with a crinkly banana hidden inside. Your child will have long periods of fun while learning and exploring the fun bits on cuddly 'Bruny'.

The Learn with me bear retails for 30$

"YooHoo ....have you met me yet?"

YooHoo & Friends is one of Aurora's best selling collections.


Bunny girl was sent 3 wide eyed YooHoo characters- an 8" YooHoo red fox who makes a 'chitter chatter' sound when you squeeze his tummy , a cute little 5" YooHoo Wanna Be Monkey that makes a 'spinning and falling sound' when you squeeze his tummy and a cute little YooHoo Clip on that's the size of my palm...awwww! (The YooHoo ClipOns come with safe plastic key-rings for your kids to clip onto their backpacks on lunchbags)


Did Bunny girl love them? She especially loved the fact that 2 of them made little noises (which amused her no end!) and that she could walk around the house with a tiny YooHoo clipped on her shirt sleeve (This resulted in the giggles!). What I love the most about the YooHoo friends cuddlies are their huge "Will you love me please?" eyes and their silky feel!

This little characters have become so popular that they even have their very own interactive website at www.yoohoofriends.com.
