Paci-Plushies™ would not be what they are today without the guidance and hard work of Josh Livingston and Custom Plush / Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company. I can not put into words the gratitude that I have for Josh and the rest of his team, who helped make my vision for the Paci-Plushies™ a reality.

When I met with Josh in August of 2008, I had already completed my first production run of Paci-Plushies™, which were manufactured through a custom plush supplier based out of Canada. My initial meeting with Josh was held at the only place I could possibly meet with my two small toddlers in tow- a McDonald's restaurant with an outdoor playground to occupy the kids. At the time, my husband had just made an unexpected career move and had gone from playing hockey in the National Hockey League, to signing a lucrative contract with a newly formed European league called the Kontinental Hockey League. I was single-handedly preparing for the launch of my Paci-Plushies™ at the biggest juvenile products trade show in the USA, when I realized that the quality of plush that my previous Canadian supplier had shipped me was nowhere near my standards. Although this supplier had promised a money back guarantee, when push came to shove, they refused to fully reimburse me for their poor workmanship. So I met with Josh just weeks before the official Paci-Plushies™ launch to see if his company could improve on my existing plush toy. I knew right away that Josh's company was a great match for a Mom- Entrepreneur whose life is as hectic as mine. Josh patiently suffered through the sweltering summer heat and my two screaming toddlers while I hurriedly explained my vision.

I wholeheartedly mean it when I say that the Paci-Plushies™ would not be what they are today without The Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company. Josh patiently waited for my absurdly sluggish replies to his emails as I struggled to juggle my rapidly growing business with relocating half way around the world to reunite with my husband, who had already been overseas for three months. With the most minimal input from me, The Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company was able to develop amazing retail friendly packaging for my product, negotiate superior BPA and Phthalate free infant pacifiers and ensure that the highest quality plush and materials were used during the manufacturing process, all the while remaining within the scope of my initial budget for the project.

Partnering with The Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company has been the best decision that I have made for my business. I will continue to use them for all of my custom plush needs, including the Paci-Plushies™, because they are a company that I trust on an individual basis, and as a whole. The Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company continues to provide me with top-quality customer service alongside top-quality plush. I look forward to building a lasting partnership with The Beverly Hills Teddy Bear Company, and I highly recommend this fantastic company to anyone with custom plush needs.

Beverly Hills Teddy Bear was an integral part of our successful launch of MyUville.com. Josh Livingston and staff provided a seamless transition from the conceptual stage of our plush all the way to final production. Their responsiveness and follow through were outstanding. We needed a partner to help us make our online, virtual characters come to life and BHTB made that happen with excellence. Recommended to me by a business associate, BHTB lived up to the expectation I had from the recommendation, and I wholeheartedly pass along my recommendation.

Josh Livingston at BHTB helped us bring our school mascot to life on a smaller scale so we could sell these as a band fundraiser.  He worked with our pictures, ideas and was very helpful bringing this project to fruition.  Our "Hootie the Hawk" is beautiful and everyone young and old recognizes her immediately.  Our "Hootie" the hawk mascot plush is very fine quality, a really nice size and is very realistic.  It is soft, but sturdy.  I just can't say enough about  our experience.  We got exactly what we wanted and are very pleased.   As a testament to how close she resembles our actual mascot... one of the first places I went with her is a local gourmet shop in our town... the owner's son will be in first grade starting today and as soon as I took the first "Hootie" out to show them, he hollered "Hootie"... so obviously she is very recognizable which is exactly what we wanted.... thanks again!!!!

I am so excited about the little stuffed Maxwell dogs that I ordered from Josh Livingston and CustomPlush.com.  The quality is incredible! He is soft, cuddly with the cutest little face that any one of any age would want to cuddle! I am amazed at the likeness to our real dog "Maxwell." You captured his personality perfectly ....all from only a photo! Nothing short of awesome! I especially appreciated working with their whole team! Josh Livingston went above and beyond to meet our deadline and best of all, in our price range! He was professional and everything he promised... he delivered! I would highly recommend Beverly Hills Teddy Bear to everyone who wants a quality product, for the best price and delivered on time! In fact, I'm getting ready to order again!  Thank you so much!
