Happy 30th birthday Snuggle Bear! (and a giveaway for you!)


Update: this post now has a Snuggle prize pack giveaway!


I came of age in the 80's, but when I look back at that decade, I cringe.  Mullets, perms, acid wash, neon, high waisted pants.... cullottes??  Some things are best left in the past!

To be fair, there were a few good things that came out of the 80's that endure to this day.  Michael Jackson.  Madonna.  MTV.  Rubik's Cube.  And Snuggle Bear.

Yes, Snuggle Bear was a child of the 80's too!  He was "born" in the early 80's and quickly grew to become the symbol for everything soft and snuggly.  This month Snuggle Bear is celebrating his 30th birthday, and everyone is invited to the party!


The celebrations include:

  • A virtual birthday celebration ‘Twitter’ Party hosted by @Snuggle_Bear will be held September 17 (1:00 – 2:00 PM EST) using #HappyBirthdaySnuggle
  • A donation to Make-A-Wish Connecticut as part of the birthday celebration will be made. Snuggle Bears will also be donated to Connecticut chapter for Wish Kids throughout the state.
  • The Snuggle Facebook page will be in celebration mode all month, encouraging fans to send birthday wishes to Snuggle
  • Giveaway Tuesdays: Fans will be able to enter to win a year’s supply of Snuggle® products and limited edition birthday bears
  • Wish Wednesdays: Snuggle Bear will ask fans how they would celebrate his birthday and make the world a softer place. This user generated content will be used for picture posts and a series of e-cards created by Snuggle Bear.
  • Throwback Thursdays: Snuggle ads, images and packaging will be featured in retro images

Win a Snuggle prize pack

One lucky Bonggamom Finds reader will win a Snuggle prize pack featuring:

1 box Snuggle Exhiliarations dryer sheets
1 bottle Snuggle Exhiliartions liquid fabric softener
