About Budsies
Budsies is a US company that makes custom stuffed animals and keepsakes from customers' own artwork, and has since expanded into pillows, puppets, pet plush, bobbleheads, pyjamas and other personalised products. It states that it launched officially in 2013 and that it has made more than 200,000 Budsies, with custom toys reaching more than 60 countries. The company presents its work as turning artwork into plush, and its process pages explain how a drawing becomes a finished toy. It also runs an education programme for classrooms and a philanthropic programme with hospitals across the United States called Budsies Pals, and it offers bulk orders alongside single-item retail commissions. Its published milestones include projects with The Gap, Cut the Rope, Crayola and Disney, and appearances on The Today Show, ABC's Shark Tank, CNBC, BuzzFeed and in the New York press. The site sells gift cards and gift boxes and prices in a range of currencies. The tone is consumer-facing rather than trade-facing: the company frames its product as a lasting keepsake made from a drawing, a photograph of a person or a pet.
