Customer Reviews
I absolutely love my new plush! It's perfectly balanced, unlike most weighted plushies that only have beads in the belly & feet. It's incredibly soft except for the mane & tail tuft. I do wish they'd used softer material for those, but it's a minor quibble. I'm very happy with my purchase & would buy from Sensory Soothers in the future.
I've ordered many weighted plush from Sensory Soothers and they have all been beautiful. This sweet donkey is even more adorable in person! He is weighted perfectly! Thank you for these amazing, calming, and beautiful animals!
Way more adorable in person, was a gift for my son. He takes him everywhere. Wish I could upload the picture I took of him poking his head out of the box we wrapped him in. Very soft and fuzzy, durable construction thankfully, I hope he lasts for the life of my son. Thank you for this and the others we’ve gotten/will get!
I just got my donkey in the mail today and was SO excited! She's super soft and cuddly and the perfect size and weight for me. I got the 4 lb. version and it's perfect! Even my boyfriend enjoys the weight of the donkey and he is not a stuffed animal person like me.
I received a note on how to take care of the donkey's fur and keep it looking nice as well as a hand-written note from the seller thanking me for purchasing the item and for supporting a family-owned business, which made me feel really happy.
I absolutely love this product! Thank you for the care and craftsmanship that you put into this!
I waited a while for this donkey to come back in stock and am SO happy with it! He’s adorable and the fur is so soothing to touch. Thanks to this amazing company for remembering my interest in the donkey! Great company to work with. I've bought 3 animals from them now and they're all great and much loved by their recipients.
