What is stuffie or stuffy?

Stuffie or stuffy is a term used to describe a stuffed animal or plush toy. These toys are often made from soft materials such as cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers, and are designed to be cuddly and comforting for children. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and may be modeled after real or imaginary creatures, characters from books or movies, or simply abstract shapes and designs. Some stuffies have additional features such as sound chips or lights that can make them even more interactive and engaging for children. Many children form strong attachments to their stuffies and may keep them for years, even into adulthood.
