Chubby Bears.. To Go!

We all have a favorite plushie that stands guard over our bed and greets us after a long day. The only downside to those beloved stuffies is that they are not very portable. They are undeniably cute and cuddly, but they tend to be bulky and take up precious space in your bag or purse. That is where the Chubby Bear Pendants really shine. These little companions have all the color, personality, and squishability of a classic plush, but in a perfectly portable form. Since they easily clip on, they are always ready to travel with you and add a touch of comfort wherever you go. 

Speaking of travel, these cute little bears make excellent adventure buddies. Perhaps you have a long flight ahead of you and you're traveling with a cranky child. Or perhaps you yourself have some flying anxiety. Due to their size and clip-on abilities, they infuse a bit of joy to an otherwise long and tiresome journey. These chubby bears can easily fit into a carry-on pocket or can be clipped right on to your luggage. Traveling can bring out the worst in all of us! Seeing one of these brightly colored friends on your hotel nightstand can be just what your child (or you!) need to feel like you have a little piece of home with you.

Little Bear, Big Icebreaker!

These fun little bears are brimming with personality. While you might feel a strong sense of loyalty to your larger plushies, our Chubby Bear Pendants are designed to be both collectible and easy to take anywhere. Simply clip one onto a keychain, backpack, or even a belt loop when your outfit needs a little extra flair. Carrying a chubby bear pendant adds a pop of joy to everyday life and makes your accessories feel more personal. Clipping one on can also be a great icebreaker and might even spark a new friendship. Sometimes, seeing a brightly colored chubby bear is all someone needs to smile.

Why Chubby Bears?

Bears have historically been the classic stuffed animal. In fact, the history of the teddy bear traces all the way back to the 20th century, and may have more political intrigue than you’re prepared for. In 1902, U.S President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt famously refused to kill a bear while on a hunting trip. Political opponents had a field day with teasing cartoons about how “unmanly” the President was. However, toy makers were also fascinated with this story. In the U.S, toymakers Morris and Rose Michtom sold handmade plush bears in their store known as “Teddy’s Bears”. They even got Roosevelt’s permission! Over time, the Teddy Bear evolved from a novelty item to an almost universal symbol of comfort and security in childhood and beyond. Today, it’s remained one of the most enduring and recognizable toys in the world. 

To honor the Teddy Bear’s rich history within the toymaking space, we’ve taken the beloved, time old symbol a step further. Now this icon of comfort can come with you wherever you go, and you can personalize it to match your outfit or favorite color. In fact, we have 12 iconic colors to choose from, each with their own backstory and personality. These compact, chubby little characters are the perfect addition to any bag, keychain, or wallet!

Okay, now that we've spent some time on why we chose bears for these fun pendants, lets talk how cute and chubby they are. We designed these chubby bears with the idea of celebrating the inherent coziness of abundance. Yes, abundance as in full berry bushes, an extra slice of pie at dessert.  And yes, snuggling a chubby bear is just more fun. But we're also celebrating life's richness in comfort, coziness, and companionship. Our chubby bear friends are not creatures of scarcity. Their rounded form tells a sweet story about a world that provides fullness (and lots of snacks). 

Small in Scale, Solid in Craft

These pocket sized friends may be small, but they are built to last. Each of the chubby bear pendants in this collection are crafted with a soft plush polyester exterior and lovingly stuffed with a cotton stuffing. We made sure to add extra stuffing for these chubby guys 😉.

Each of these chunky little guys comes out to 3.15 inches tall. We told you they were fun-sized! They are just the right height to tag along with you on all of your adventures without being bulky and annoying. 

Tethered With Care: Tags and Hardware

Each Chubby Bear Pendant comes equipped with thoughtful details designed for both style and functionality. The elegant bronze spring clasp keychain ensures your plushie is always secure while offering effortless attachment to bags, belts, or a key ring. The rotating ball mechanism prevents twisting and tangling, keeping your little bear perfectly positioned wherever you take it!

Did you know each Chubby Bear Pendant comes with a black bear plushie tag that doubles as a  cute secondary accessory and label. This tag officially marks your bear, serving as a charming nameplate or identifier while adding extra character to your plushie. It’s the little things that count, right? We’re all about the small details and finishing touches that makes your chubby bear extra special. 

Which Chubby Bear is Right for You? Traits that Charm: Meet the Bears

We can all agree that the Chubby Bear Pendants are adorable, make a fun accessory, and even have an intriguing history. But with 12 lovable options, how are you supposed to choose which one is right for you? Let’s break it down so you have all the facts and can make the most informed decision. Unless, of course, you want to collect them all, which is completely understandable.

First up is the lavender chubby bear. Her name is Lila 💜, and she is known as our Daydreaming Grazer. She is girly, dainty, and always a little lost in thought. Before she realizes it, she has happily snacked her way through the entire tea party spread. Lila is the perfect choice for the gentle dreamer, someone who moves through the world with imagination, a soft heart, and very little concern for schedules or hard deadlines. She suits anyone who could use a small, friendly anchor to carry along while their thoughts drift elsewhere. And honestly, Lila probably needs that grounding presence too.

Next up we have Sunny 🍊, our cheerful baker who specializes in citrus treats. If you’re not instantly smitten with Sunny’s tangerine flavor, you’ll definitely be charmed by his baking. Sunny is a perfect companion for someone with a generous soul and sweet tooth. If you’re the type of person who shows love by making things to share with others, but also gets a little carried away in the process, Sunny is the bear for you. Like Sunny, perhaps you are the “just one more bite” type who also laughs easily, is welcoming of others, and believes life should be abundantly joyful and a little messy. Sunny is a bear who is warm, enthusiastic, and finds happiness in bright flavors. He finds joy in feeding the people he cares about. Do you share his belief that tasting too much isn’t a flaw, but rather proof of wholehearted living?  

When you learn about Goldie 🍯, it’s not too hard to guess what color she is! Goldie is our sweethearted honey aficionado. Check out Goldie’s description for how she overcomes the problem of what happens when she gathers too much honey for winter. Goldie is the perfect bear for someone who is a thoughtful over-prepaper with a generous heart. If this speaks to you, perhaps you plan for every possibility, just in case, and sometimes takes it a tad too far. Maybe you’re the friend in your group who brings extra snacks and way over packs for a vacation. But, perhaps like Goldie, who realizes she’s gathered more than she needs, their instinct is to share rather than hoard. This bear suits someone who finds comfort in readiness, joy in community, and contentment knowing they have loved ones to share with.

Calling all introverts! If you find yourself feeling shy in social situations, you might have something in common with Indigo 🌚. Indigo, our midnight blue bear, likes to forage for blueberries at night when the other forest animals are sleeping. Perhaps you can relate to the feeling of longing for some quiet, alone time. You feel deeply, and might prefer listening to speaking. You might notice small details that others miss. You hope that others don’t misinterpret your quietness. If you read Indigo’s story, you might relate that just because you prefer peace and quiet, you can still be counted on to do the right thing by your neighbors. 

If you’ve got anxiety- and who doesn’t have anxiety these days- you might feel drawn to Sam 🎒, our salmon colored bear. Sam’s anxiety presents itself in preparedness. What’s wrong with that, you might be wondering? It all depends on how far you take it! In Sam’s case, she overprepared for a hike. Especially when it came to snacks. She packed so many snacks, in fact, that her pack was too heavy and she had to bail on the hike before she made it past the trail head. Her weakness? Trailmix. Well, Sam learned from her mistakes and remained optimistic. She resolved to pack appropriately next time, and went home happy with a full tummy of trail mix. Win, win!

Are you the type that has to learn every lesson the hard way? If so, let me direct your attention to Bubbles 🍬, our turquoise chubby bear pendant. Perhaps like Bubbles, you dive fully into experiences, and trust your appetite as much as your instinct. True, you might have to reckon with the consequences afterward, but you’ve got some great stories to tell. If you decide to learn more about Bubbles, you’ll learn that after one particularly indulgent feast, he fell asleep with a tummy ache and had a wild fever dream that taught him to slow down next time.

If you’re a tender-hearted soul who yearns to be seen beneath the surface, look no further than our green bear, Benny 💚. Do you relate to Benny who feels the weight of other people’s judgements and assumptions? If so, you know there is more to a person than how they look. Perhaps you’re sick of other people’s assumptions that they know who you are and what you like, just by looking at you. Benny definitely feels this way, and is so over people who think they know him when they really don’t. In an effort to stop the assumptions, Benny tries to change his appearance. He soon learns this doesn’t help the situation- it’s better to just accept and love who you are.

If you’re a comfort seeker with strong preferences, I’d direct you to Fizzy 🩵. Fizzy is our baby blue bear, and he is, for lack of a better term, picky. Well, maybe picky isn’t fair. It’s not so much stubbornness as it is self knowledge. His preferences bring calm and everything else feels like too much. He feels safest when the world (and his food) are predictable and just the way he likes it. In Fizzy’s case, he prefers his food to be one color: blue. However, when a well-intentioned friend brings Fizzy dinner after his eye surgery, he finds out that he can expand his palette! 

Calling all risk-takers! Cosmo 🌠 is our black bear and is a great match for someone who follows their heart without overthinking. Cosmo dives headfirst into an adventure and decides to worry about the consequences later. He would pair well with someone who thrives on spontaneity, embraces unpredictable outcomes, and delights on the joy of acting on instinct. Thankfully, Cosmo has a good friend who grounds him. Will you be another good friend for Cosmo?

Are you an adventurous foodie? If so, Pixie 🌶️ the magenta chubby bear pendant might be the bear for you! Much like her coloring, she likes intense things. She has a taste for the extreme, and her nickname is rightfully “taker of bold bites”. If you go out to eat with Pixie, she will probably judge you if you order off the kiddie menu. She loves sour, sweet, spicy, extra sauce, extra sprinkles, extra everything! She will try everything at least once and needs an adventurous friend to conquer the menu with. She loves getting messy and outrageous flavors. Do you think you could keep up with Pixie? 

If you’re not quite sure where your place is in the world, consider Bobby 🩶. Bobby is a gray bear. No she’s not a black bear, and no she’s not a polar bear. While she may have grown up feeling caught in between worlds, never fully “inside” one group or the other, she’s now known as a thoughtful bridge-builder. She now cycles in between each community with ease, and possesses the confidence to navigate each. Perhaps you’re the type that sees the beauty and struggle unique to different groups. Bobby can relate! She belongs to someone who embraces complexity and values genuine connection over conformity.
