Yeah I’m afraid that if I started selling it I’d have to do business stuff, make things when I don’t feel like it, measure the time it takes me and the cost of materials to set a fair price, worry about if the patterns I’m using are commercial friendly, worry about the actual quality/sturdiness of the plushies because people have expectations when they’re not getting things for free…when I’m not in a position to really need the extra money.

Hospitals are a great idea but it looks like the local ones here only accept brand-new stuff with the exception of hats. :/ I guess my friends will just have to deal with an excess of plushies lol

It is a brand new thing. It’s a brand new plushie made by an artisanal craftsman. You are the brand and the plushie is new.

They talk about leaving the tags on and have a separate category for things that can be made that doesn’t include plushies. I really don’t think crochet plushies are something they want, and I’m not really into trying to skirt the rules with “this is TECHNICALLYYY new even though I can tell it’s not on the list of things you’re looking for” when it comes to hospitals haha.

Fair enough. Could always make your own cardboard tag and draw a barcode on though lol.

The rules are really there to discourage people offloading their broken 2nd hand stuff.

It’s worth asking the hospital staff/admin if it’s something you might be interested in.
