It can be heartbreaking for people of all ages to see their beloved stuffed animals wear down and fall apart over the years.
For many, stuffed animals aren't just cute toys — they're a source of comfort, nostalgia and love.
One TikTok user has become the champion of repairing worn-down stuffed animals in a truly heartwarming way that will have anyone's fuzzy friend feeling all better in no time.
Tina, whose TikTok name is @viva.valentina, accepts commissions for stuffed animal friends that need some TLC to become bright and shiny again.
She's kind of like a one-person day spa for our cherished fluffy ones. People from different places have called on this handy TikTokker, and she continues to answer.
Perhaps the most touching part of her process is the adorable little hearts she makes for her stuffed animal patients.
She sews little felt hearts, packs them in with the toy's original stuffing, and inserts it back inside the toy along with its new filling to ensure that every cutie has a heart full of health, love, and fluff.
Tina understands the deep connection people have to their stuffed animals, especially the ones they grew up with.
It's a bond that shouldn't be broken, especially by some fallen pieces or torn stitches.
The finished products still look like the same plushes, but they look brand new and ready to come home for cuddles.
Sometimes we want to keep our lovely stuffed animals forever. Other times we want to pass them on to our children, or maybe even our grandchildren too.
There's no reason to abandon our plushies that have seen better days. Tina is giving customers a chance to not only have their stuffed animals repaired, but also for them to have some pretty strong hearts.
