Holiday Gift Guide

Featured Holiday Gifts

As the twinkle of holiday lights grows brighter and the scent of cinnamon and evergreen drifts through the air, this year invites us not just to give, but to create. Welcome to our Holiday Gift Guide for 2025 — your curated collection of cuddly possibilities from Dubido at The Zoo Factory, where the real gift is “making together.”

Imagine a child’s laugh as they reach into a box and lift out a soft, empty animal skin, a friend-to-friend moment: “Which one shall we stuff?” You hand over the plush shell, a handful of fluff, maybe a little heart-patch or accessory. And then you both—child and grown-up, sibling and sister, grandparent and grandkid—start filling it, hugging it, naming it, dressing it. You’re not just picking a toy off the shelf; you’re sharing time, stitches of memory in the making.

That’s the heart of this guide. Because the holidays are more than “things.” They’re the moments where we gather—around the kitchen table, on the couch with cocoa, or beneath the glow of tree lights—and we do. We create together. We giggle as the stuffing goes everywhere. We snap the outfit on a newly stuffed friend and watch how it instantly comes to life. We wrap the finished buddy, anticipating the smile. We hand it over and in that moment, the gift becomes an embrace, a shared story, a warm keepsake.

Inside you’ll find:

  • The full range of stuffable animals in 16″ and 8″ available.

  • A selection of whimsical outfits— seasonal holiday looks—so every stuffed friend can have its moment.

  • Ideas for pairings and “stuff-and-dress together” experiences that make the gift itself the activity.

Whether you’re buying for a toddler who wants to “build” their own bear, a tween experimenting with style, or an adult looking to gift a moment of creative calm to someone special, this is your playlist of plush-made memories. Because nothing says “together” like selecting the skin, inserting the stuffing, choosing the outfit, and sealing it with a name.

So pull up a chair. Lay out the fabrics, fluff the stuffings, hang the dress-up outfit. And give a gift that does more than sit on a shelf—it becomes part of the story, part of the laughter, part of your holiday, together.

Happy stuffing, happy dressing, happy holiday.
