Star Tulip Stuffies has our Valentine mojo on inside our Shop--have you?
Today is Monday, January 27 2020
We are OPEN until 6 PM today!
Back to sunny spring weather two months ahead of schedule! Much too nice to stay inside today so why not treat yourself to some LOCAL SHOPPING? Stop in for a visit with us and check out all the NEW "STUFF" now appearing on our shelves--and on our Flag Wall! How long has it been since you added something awesome to your own or a special collector's plush collection?
NEWSFLASH (in case you didn't know): Valentine's Day (on February 14, a Friday this year) is already ONLY just THREE WEEKS away!
Valentine's Day "Stuff", Valentine's Day Flags and Pop-Up Valentine's Day Cards are on display NOW--and it's definitely not to soon to be planning for this fast-approaching holiday!
In case you need more reasons to come out to do some LOCAL SHOPPING (for Valentine's Day or otherwise), we have available to help you SAVE MONEY our JANUARY/Valentine DISCOUNT COUPON published here and in print (Coupons Monthly Redlands, Highland and Yucaipa--we just received our stacks of Redlands and Yucaipa editions in store--and we honor ANY past Coupons). We've been taking entries to qualify for our Valentine's Day Customer Appreciation Gift Box/Basket Drawing for several weeks already. AND, we just added another bribe, uh, "incentive" to pay us a visit and possibly earn one of our Valentine Gift-with-Purchase Customer Rewards!
We hope the contrast created by our "hot" Valentine store decor with the mid-winter, almost-cold weather outside (well, at least at night!) also reminds us of the special people in our lives who likewise warm our hearts! One of our favorite holidays, Valentine's Day gives us an unabashed opportunity to celebrate them by letting them know how much they mean to us!
NEW Dragons and Unicorns from Douglas have helped fill up our Fairy and Fantasy area--and all the NEW the Dragons just in from Aurora fit, too!
No fewer than NINE new magical creatures have just joined our Fairy and Fantasy area!
Wondering how to creatively treat that Dragon and/or Unicorn lover on your next gift list? Wonder no more! (Just FYI, we've already sold several of these to adult collectors!)
LOOK who just joined those new dragons and Unicorns in our Fairy and Fantasy Habitat!
NEW from Douglas, it's a cute Baby Yeti and an absolutely adorable Sasquatch!
HEEEEEERE'S NEW Puppies from First and Main!
Look at ALL of the Plush Dog Breeds we just restocked from Douglas!
Thanks to "contributions" from First and Main and Douglas, our entire Dog area is freshly restocked--and brim full with breed choices!
We've not only recently added to our Fairy and Fantasy Habitat and plush Dog Collection, but we've been "filling in" our Barnyard, too!
Douglas' Blue Lace Hen, modeled after a real variation on an actual Chicken Breed, the Wyandotte (without even too much exaggeration!), is BACK IN STOCK!
Just FYI, we've added some interesting creatures to "fill in" our Prehistoric Collection...
Valentine's Day "Stuff" is up at Star Tulip Stuffies!
Do we have lots of choices for you in Valentine's Day Decorative Flags?
Of COURSE we do--but they are going fast so don't delay if you see something you like (most, but not all, are still available in both House and Garden Flag sizes....)

Newest "contributions" to our Teddy Bear Collection from Ganz!
Here's a recap of the awesome new additions in from Ganz in October!
Teddy Bears and Sesame Street Characters arrived earlier this year during Autumn!
"Big Bo" Panda, "Graham" (seated, upper right and about the same color as the crackers), "Maxie" (classic big hugs from her!) and "Henry" (preceded by his very imposing schnoz and luscious in velvety black!)
Count The Count, two (oops, three) versions of Abby Caddaby and Chef Gonger among the new arrivals! (All available 10-14" Sesame Street Characters are back in stock!)
Gund's wonky little "Toothpick" Teddy Bear has become SO popular (although not always on first impression--until you realize they MEANT to make him that way!) that Gund has created an entire NEW collection of "related" plush characters around him! We just ordered almost all that are currently available--and here are the ones in stock now!
A plethora of new plush designs arrived this Fall from Ganz!
We have refilled all those empty "leaves" on our "Tree" (now again) full of Audubon Birds with the authentic sound chips recorded by Cornell University! Back in stock are Meadowlarks, Mockingbirds, House Sparrows, House Finches, Black-capped Chickadees and Eastern Bluebirds!
Our Desert Habitat is FULL once again, thanks to all of these pieces that arrived in our most recent shipment from Wild Republic!
We also just filled in a bunch of gaps in our Forest Habitat with new pieces from Wild Republic!
Here is a montage showing critters added from the most recent shipment!
These unique pieces from Wild Republic just assisted in repopulating our South American Rain Forest Habitat!
Newly arrived additions from Wild Republic to our Australian, Asian and African Habitats!
Things have taken a familiar shape in our new digs! We'll be working on getting the appropriate backgrounds up behind our Habitats beginning in January!
Of COURSE we brought along the Decorative Flags (now "guarded" by our plush Dogs!), Raggedy Ann and Andy and our 3-D Greeting Card Collections (both Swing and Pop-Up)!
Yes--we brought the "Cat House", currently housing both our Realistic Domestic Cats and Kittens as well as our Caricature Cats like Grumpy Cat, Pusheen (a few left) and Simon's Cat AND our Ocean Habitat! Those Jellyfish and that big blue Sperm Whale will eventually find themselves again "floating" among the waves--as soon as we can get a ladder in there to suspend them from the ceiling...!
Our Medical Area has become one of our most popular displays, so of course we have it at the new location! We even made more space for it to house additional fun "stuff" in anticipation of adding more plush Cells, Germs and Vermin from Giant Microbes in the near future!
It is hard to believe that Star Tulip Stuffies, House of Fine Stuffed Animals has been open for over four years home again in Redlands, CA (we started here back in 2003 in the now-defunct old downtown Redlands Mall)!
We have lived and worked and been your neighbors in this area for more than 40 years! Star Tulip Stuffies was originally opened as a storefront in the Redlands Mall back in 2003. Since then a growing following of stuffed animal aficionados has managed to find, support and spread the word about us.
From the very beginning our intent has been to bring our customers the very best selection of the finest quality plush creatures we can find while keeping our prices as rational as we can.
We are all about choices; we like nothing better than to present several different companies’ version of the same animal because we have found that every designer will have a different take on that same critter. Thus, if you visit us, which we certainly hope to make you curious enough to do, you should not be surprised to find that, not only do we have an “unusual” creature, say a porcupine or an opossum, rendered in plush, but that we also will likely have four or five or even more styles from as many different manufacturers (with accompanying differences in sizes and prices!) of that individual kind of animal! This also means that while you will find respected and familiar names like Gund, Ganz, Douglas Cuddle Toy, Fiesta Toys, Aurora, Wild Republic, etc. on many of our products, we make a point of searching out quality companies less well known, especially in California, that you may only brush up against on a trip to the zoo or aquarium (we really love the educational kick provided by those extremely realistic representations!) or while traveling east of the Rocky Mountains (many retailers are simply unwilling to stand the cost of shipping some of these…)--or that are just outrageously esoteric (we have plush germs--in Petri dishes, no less--by GiantMicrobes and body parts--if I only had a brain--from I [Heart] Guts!
Our selection is so diverse (we are simply stuffed with “stuff”, but then “stuff” is what we do!) in order to keep track of everything we have resorted to arrangement by habitat! When you visit (by now you know you have to if you can…) you will eventually notice that our entire shop is suggestive of the interior and exterior of a gigantic fantastic playhouse or dollhouse. “Inside” live authentic Raggedy Ann and Andy, Sesame Street characters, etc. Also living the pampered “indoor” life are plush Cats and Teddy Bears “Outside” you will find our rather extensive collection of realistic Dog Breeds (this is a personal favorite category of ours, so if someone makes a decent version of a specific breed, we will try to have it for you!), Barnyard Animals, Horses, Frog and Turtle ponds, Forest critters, Desert animals, Birds, and creatures of Central and South America, Australia, Africa and Asia as well as an area devoted to Ocean life! There is even a section “inhabited” by the fantasmagorical creatures of the imagination including dragons, faeries, unicorns and the like!
About Our Name: The “Star Tulip” part of our name alludes to our other life as occasional botanists! “Star tulips” are members of a rather large genus, Calochortus, meaning “beautiful grass”, of native Californian lilies that includes species with enchanting common names like “butterfly” or “mariposa tulips” and “faerie lanterns”. The butterfly tulips have large goblet-shaped tulip-style flowers, often marked with spots and bobbing in the breeze above their cohabitating grasses like the insects they appear to mimic. The more diminutive faerie lanterns have closed flowers on slender overarched stems and could easily be imagined to light the nighttime activities of elfin woodland inhabitants. Our tiny namesakes open fully wide and close to the ground as if they were stars scattered across the forest floor! The alliteration of “Star Tulip” and “Stuffies” was just too tempting to pass up!
