Security Piglet Pt. 2 - Find Your Own

After writing about my personal attachment to Pig Face, I realized that I probably left my companion-less readers feeling slightly deprived. If you want a bedtime buddy of your very own to say goodnight to, check out these options. They may not have the wear and care (and by that, I mean dirt and sewed fabric) that old Pig Face does, but give it some time.

1. Bedtime Care Bear – According to FreeBears.com, Bedtime bear’s mission is to help people get a good night’s sleep. He’s the one who’s there to give you a goodnight hug and make sure you have sweet dreams when you finally do fall asleep. You can buy Bedtime Bear for $18.99 from FreeBears, or you can get one of his other Care Bear friends from Target. The prices range between $12.99 and $24.99 depending on the sizes.

2. A Build-A-Bear – Yes, we’ve been inspired by our friends at Bear Building. Build-A-Bear offers not only the traditional teddy, but other furry friends, such as dogs, kitties, polar bears, and dinosaurs. And, they offer clothing, such as pajamas and robes, as well as accessories, such as slippers and sleeping bags, so you can make sure your companion gets a good night’s sleep too. Check out the Build-A-Bear website to buy a bedtime buddy or to buy new accessories for an old friend.

3. Raggedy Ann and Andy – My mom claims she used to sleep with her Raggedy Ann and Andy every night as a kid, with their heads pressed up underneath her chin. Her siblings teased her, saying the house could catch fire and Raggedy Ann and Andy might not make it out. Now, they’re a bit more old-fashioned of a bedtime companion, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less lovable or comforting to sleep with. Check out Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy’s website if you’re interested (prices range between $15 and $32).
