The Softest Surprise For Bartholomew Bears Birthday (Gifted)

On 8th Jun 2025 By Absurd RhioIn plushies3 Comments

Bartholomew Bear Junior arrived during a rough week, and brought more comfort than I expected. A tiny bear with big softness, sent when I needed it most. I’m so grateful to Jellycat for the kindness - and to Biscoff, who’s learning how to be a big brother, crumbs and all.

A Surprise Meaningful Jellycat Haul – Gifted By Jellycat Themselves!

On 1st Feb 2025 By Absurd RhioIn Memorable Days5 Comments

I never expected this. Jellycat reached out and sent me a surprise package—and not just a little keyring, but a full Jellycat haul! As someone who’s never been ‘picked’ for things, this meant more than just plushies. Here’s what they sent me—and why it mattered so much.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
