Online MON AMI Florine Flamingo Stuffed Animal by

Florine is a flamingo stuffed animal with considerably more character than the usual tropical bird plush, which tends to be a blob with a beak attached. She has enough presence to hold a corner of a room instead of disappearing into the heap of stuffed animals at the foot of the bed.

That presence is why flamingo plush does not stay in the kids’ room. A good share of these go to grown ups who collect flamingos, and she looks entirely at home on a shelf, a console, or the end of a bar cart at a party nobody under twenty was invited to.

For parties she is the obvious pick for a tropical, flamingo, or poolside theme, where she works as a centerpiece that does not wilt, spill, or get thrown out on Sunday night. She also lands well as a baby shower gift for a nursery leaning tropical rather than pastel and generic, and she pairs easily with the rest of our plush toys and bird stuffed animals.

How do you care for plush toys? Display plush collects dust, so periodic brushing with a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum attachment is the standard upkeep. For marks, spot clean with mild soap and cool water and air dry rather than machine washing.
