We all remember our favorite stuffed animal growing up. The way it felt, the way it smelled, and the way we needed to have it even on short car trips to the supermarket. Stuffed animals can be a very meaningful and significant part of any child’s life and can often help development when it comes to nurturing skills. In today’s economy, and with family’s pinching pennies, here is a short list of some unique plush toys and distinct stuffed animals that offer exceptional value and are all priced around twenty dollars or less.

Lubies are a break through line of plush toys, combining clean charming designs with the irresistible playable shape of a ball. These adorable soft ball shaped critters are insanely cute, made from super soft material and are designed for all ages. The line includes a wide variety of animals from cows and pigs to polar bears and sharks. Boys and girls will instantly take to throwing them around and they are still soft and cute enough to cuddle with. Considering you should be able to find the Lubies for under 10 dollars a piece, this makes them a great value as a plush toy.

Rad Dogs by Douglas Cuddle Toy are a relatively new line of stuffed dogs. The Rad Dogs are a bit edgy, yet very soft and stylized. They were designed with the discerning boy in mind, but girls seem to love them just as much. Each Rad Dog has a distinctive look, color and personality. These edgy, chic mongrels come in two sizes, big boys and juniors. Both sizes should be available for under 20 dollars.

If you haven’t seen the Worry Woos yet, you will soon. Created by Andi Green, the Woory Woo Monsters set themselves apart as a unique series that brings human emotion to life by personifying feelings as main characters. These characters are soft and cuddly and kids of all ages will love their bright colors, wacky looks and signature belly buttons. More importantly, kids will be able to relate to the insecurities these monsters embody.

If you’re looking for something truly unique, then look no further than the strangely cute line of Stitch Kittens by Gus Fink. Made from pose able, huggable plush, the Stitch Kittens are unusually distinct and each is packed with personality. Each kitten has a flat bott om, which may reduce its cuddle factor, but will allow it to stand on its own. From a value perspective, each Stitch Kitten comes packed with a mystery comic book that doubles as a poster, a trading card and a checklist, all for under 20 dollars.
