there was a peaceful village surrounded by a great green forest. In this land there lived many magical and forest creatures, big and small. Each cutie had an important role in the community, and because everyone helped in their own special way, Cuddlelore Willow was a happy and magical place to live.
If you back the project in the first 48 hours, you will receive a FREE Cuddlelore Cutie tote bag! Early birds also have access to a discounted pledge level, which has limited availability!
The Cuties come in a couple different shapes and sizes! Please note the following dimensions: Patty the Frog: 5" Tall and 13" long Benedict Bigfoot/Heidi Yeti/ Michael Mothman: 17" standing, 12" sitting
Each Cuddlelore Cutie has an outfit that was specially designed for them! While some outfits are interchangeable, not every outfit will fit every Cutie. Please refer to the photos below to see if your preferred outfit will fit your plushie!
Check out our outfit & plushie bundles!
*Please note: outfits will fit best on the plush they were designed for. Due to different tail and ear shapes, outfits may not fit perfectly on other cuties.
Arnold the Dragon will fit in most of the other quadruped's outfits, but they will be a little snug and cover his wings. Please keep this in mind if purchasing other outfits for Arnold.
These glossy vinyl stickers will be approximately 3"-4" All of them are based off of items you'd find at a souvenir shop! Post card, snow globe, patch, and pressed penny! These stickers are Backerkit Exclusives and will not be available to purchase on our website later.
Coloring Book
We have designed a 30 page coloring book filled with cozy pages of the Cuddlelore Cuties! This book will have thick, high quality paper, perfect for alcohol marker coloring.
Example Page
Enamel Pins
There are 10 special hard enamel pins for this campaign. They are 1.75" and are based on postage stamps!
Sensory Toys
It wouldn't be a Winky's Whimsies campaign without unique fidgets! We designed two items, just for this campaign! The first is a clicky stress ball, called the Heart of the Forest. The ball contains heart-shaped beads, some with fake pressed flowers inside. The second is a tree-shaped sort mat, each color based on one of the four seasons.
Larger orders will have higher shipping costs as they will need to be shipped in box due to their size and weight. Adding on multiple plushies will also increase shipping costs.
International backers: Please be aware when backing for the higher pledge levels, we will need to ship your rewards via UPS. UPS charges brokerage fees upon arrival to your country. We will not include this fee in your shipping charge, it will be charged separately by UPS.
Please note: this timeline is merely an estimate and is subject to change. Delays could happen during any part of the production process. Any major delays will be communicated through campaign updates. I have a trusted manufacturer and do not anticipate any major issues, but this is just a disclaimer.
Backerkit is a pledge now, pay later crowdfunding platform! When you back the project, you are helping these plushies get funded. They cannot be made without your help!
Your card won't be charged until the end of the campaign, and if we don't reach our funding goal you won't be charged at all! Each pledge gets us closer to unlocking all of our goals! Waiting to pledge does not help us reach our goals. We do not recommend waiting until your desired plush gets unlocked. Backing later makes no difference since you will not be charged until the end of the campaign.
You can edit, add to, or cancel your pledge any time before the campaign ends. Once the campaign has ended and your card has been charged, your pledge is final and no refunds or cancellations will be accepted.
Please refer to the project timeline prior to backing. Participating in a crowdfunding project is similar to a pre-order and it will take several months for your rewards to be delivered.

Hello everyone! My name is Zoe and I am the founder of Winky's Whimsies. My sister and I started Winky's Whimsies in 2022, after our childhood dog, Winky, was diagnosed with diabetes. What started as a way to help pay for his medical expenses became a successful business and our full-time jobs!
We started by packing orders out of our living room, but since then we have expanded into a 6,000 sqft warehouse space! Since 2022, we have fulfilled over 40,000 orders out of our Los Angeles warehouse.
We have spent the last four years designing different products and having them manufactured, particularly different fidget toys. While I love designing fidget toys, plushies have always been what I am the most passionate about. In January 2025, we released our first plushie line called Fruity Felines through a successful pre-order on our website. They were a true passion project and fully inspired by my Himalayan cats. We also held our first crowdfunding campaign in 2025 called Scary Cats! They were brought to life due to the help of 450+ backers here on Backerkit! I am so excited to share this new project with you all!
