SING OUR CURRENY
Changes are afoot at Star Tulip Stuffies!
We are at the end of our lease in this location and have been wondering what to do...
So--we are definitely CLOSING OUR CURRENT LOCATION at the end of business on Friday, May 31, and we already have a LOT of stuff on HALF-OFF SALE...
We now know that it's a MOVING SALE rather than a Closing Forever Sale! We'll be downsizing a little to share space for at least a few months with another local business owner (and friend) here in Redlands! Where do you suppose you will soon be able to find us again after we close here.....?????
We are having MAJOR SALES ahead of closing this location as of May 31!
Turns out it's a MOVING SALE to downsize a little. There simply will not be enough room to take everything with us, so merchandise that just won't fit from several areas is ON SALE NOW!
The first thing we have put on SALE is our ENTIRE COLLECTION of Family-related, Professions and Sports-related "Stuff"!
Just in time for Father's Day, coming next month, EVERYTHING in this area is HALF-OFF the current sticker price--and if that's an odd amount we will round DOWN to the nearest dollar (you KNOW how much we hate small change coinage!)--and still include sales tax!
NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS can be applied to SALE items, but you can still use our Discount Coupons for regularly priced merchandise!
The second group of things we have on SALE is our ENTIRE COLLECTION of Angel, Christian and Spiritual "Stuff"!
Baptisms, First Communions, Confirmations to celebrate or acknowledge--or just need to express a little moral support or encouragement? Check out the possibilities here! EVERYTHING in this area is HALF-OFF the current sticker price--and if that's an odd amount we will round DOWN to the nearest dollar (you KNOW how much we hate small change coinage!)--and still include sales tax!
Today is Monday, May 20, 2019. We are OPEN until 6 PM today in Suite 101 in the Redlands Plaza at 330 6th Street in Downtown Redlands!
We have reclaimed our SALE Table from its use the last few months to stage out PBS Nature videos and have filled it up with a LOT of "stuff" we need to not have to move in a couple of weeks! It's a mix of items that will change as they go away, so be sure to check in and see if there is anything there you could use a great deal on!
We have assembled a nice collection (worth over $200!) of cool items for our "Fantastic Spring" Customer Appreciation Gift Basket Drawing that we are currently qualifying entrants for with ANY (no minimum) purchase as often as once a day per customer per transaction, right up until we choose a WINNER once we're set up at our NEW location in mid-June! And for our NEXT trick, we will attempt to "stuff" it all into the Basket we'll be using...!
ALL items in our Family, Sports and Professions Collection AND our Angel, Christian and Spiritual Collection are ON SALE NOW for HALF OFF!
AND we just added Gradation "Stuff" (excluding cards and Flags) to our HALF-OFF SALE!
Shop with us at this time of year for lovely Spring Decorative Flags and some fancy NEW Decor Accessories (Statement Stakes/Door Decor) that coordinate with them, 3-D PopUp Greeting Cards for Graduation and Father's Day as well as All-occasion and, of course our beautiful realistically rendered Stuffed Animals!
And definitely visit before we CLOSE THIS LOCATION at the end of May if there is anything you need now or will be needing for at least a couple of weeks thereafter while we regroup in our new shared location!
GRADUATION "STUFF" is up here at Star Tulip Stuffies!
EVEN BETTER--it's ALL (excluding Greeting Cards and Flags) HALF-OFF the current sticker price--and if that's an odd amount we will round DOWN to the nearest dollar (you KNOW how much we hate small change coinage!)--and still include sales tax!
NO FURTHER DISCOUNTS can be applied to SALE items, but you can still use our Discount Coupons for regularly priced merchandise!
Since we won't be showing any more PBS Nature videos at this location, we have reclaimed our SALE Table! Watch to see what kind of DEALS will be appearing here starting NOW on items that we need to NOT take with us when we move during the first part of June!!
WARNING:
"Emergency Wildflower Closures" ahead!
We've been having a blast so far this spring discovering fabulous displays of wildflowers--and we thank you for your tolerance in allowing us these days away from the Shop! We hope you can get out there and appreciate some of California's richly diverse and beautiful native plants on your own and maybe even think about using some to landscape your own gardens (several nurseries in SoCal now specialize in Ca Native Plants!)--they belong to you, too!
OK--we've been "good", working hard on home chores long enough! We simply cannot stand it any longer, so we ARE OUTTA HERE for a day of wildflowering on Wednesday, May 22, when we will be CLOSED (but ONLY for the day)! According to the weather forecast, we might even get wet, but we don't care! We'll be back to work regular hours at the Shop (getting ready to move soon) on Thursday, May 23 (remember that Thursdays are our open late--about 2 PM--and stay into Market Night, around 7:30-8 PM, days)!

All of the rain and relatively mild temperatures are resulting in a continuing off-the-charts-awesome Wildflower season this year! By now it has begun to heat up and most of the desert valley floors have faded and gone to seed (the WHOLE point--annuals are programmed to last only so long under any circumstances!), except for some good displays of perennial shrub and cactus, most of the flowering has moved up the slopes to a little bit higher elevations! It's entirely possible to chase "Spring" wildflowers up the hills and into the mountains in California well into July and August!
We will do doubt continue experiencing more symptoms of Botanical Wildflower Cravings--and will be forced to close (usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday--check our Facebook Page for pertinent notifications...) for (potentially many?) individual days (usually no more than once every week or two)!

THIS is the DISCOUNT COUPON now appearing inside the May issues of the Redlands Coupons Monthly and Highland Coupons Monthly!
Many of these are delivered right to houses in these areas, but if you don't happen to receive one on your doorstep, never fear! We have a stack of them in store, so pick one up when you visit and take advantage of all the cool deals inside!
Almost ALL of our plush Body Parts from I Heart Guts are now BACK on the Medical Collection shelves!
These are just TOO much FUN!
Got anyone about to graduate with a medical degree/specialty?
These are also rumored to be GREAT teaching aids--not to mention gag-gifts to "celebrate" surgeries...
Our storefront is transitioning to celebrate the rest of Spring, including Mother's Day and Graduations!
We'll soon be chasing Bunnies out of our display windows to make room for Butterflies and a Mother's day Tea Party!
LOOK at all of the swag we have collected for our "Fantastic Spring" Customer Appreciation Gift Basket!
What do you think our chances of fitting it ALL into that basket are?
Enter NOW to score our "Fantastic Spring" Customer Appreciation Gift Basket Drawing! You can submit an entry with ANY (no minimum) purchase, as often as once a day per customer, until we choose our winner in June!
Some of our NEW Spring Decorative Flags can now be accompanied by these interesting complimentary pieces. The Statement Stakes come in two sizes. The 24" styles (third row) come with their own hardware for placing into the ground and are backed with solid fabric. The 36" Statement Stakes (first and second rows) are double-sided. finished in full dimensions front and back and require separate hardware that we also have in stock (buy once and use for different designs of this size). Both sizes of Statement Stakes can alternatively be hung (like a wreath) from an attached ribbon on, e.g., a door or wall. The Door Decor pieces (last row) are proportioned more like a wreath, backed with plain fabric and are meant to be hung. We guarantee you will not fully appreciate how fabulous these additional decorative choices are without seeing them in person--we are SO impressed!
Hard to believe it's already time to think about Graduations (U of R has already had all of their ceremonies)!
For a keepsake salutation in honor of the occasion that will certainly make an impression, choose one of our 3-D PopUp Graduation Cards to recognize this major achievement!
Honoring a NEW GRADUATE with a Party--or just want to add some additional "Rah-rah" to honor the achievement?
Mark the location and/or the occasion with a cool House or Garden Size Decorative Graduation Flag!
When we selected our collection of nine different realistic Bunnies in the Myoni Collection from Aurora, we made a point of choosing ones with no reference to a specific holiday! We think Bunnies like these are in season anytime--especially for anyone who loves the real ones and/or collects plush versions. As we make way for Graduation "Stuff" in the coming days, these guys will simply "relocate" to our Barnyard Habitat where you will still be able to find them!
We recently added some beautiful Spring Plush Animals from Douglas!
Look for these in our Barnyard and Stable Habitats!
Today's featured area at Star Tulip Stuffies is:
Our Raggedy Ann and Andy Collection
Patriotically attired in printed hues of red, white and blue this soft-doll duo has been one of America's favorite couples for over 100 years!
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!
