Hi, I'm Bonnie. I'm a 11 year old girl who started a business in the USA with my family.
One day, I was talking to my parents about where to travel next, when I thought, "How amazing would it be if there was a store that could do it all, all while reducing our impact on the earth?"
That is where I came up with the idea for Build and Care - an amazing store that could reduce landfill waste while making any age happy.
From there, I called a few of my friends and talked to my parents and enrolled them to help me. And here we are!
I hand select cute plushies from thrift stores and resale shops. At this stage, I take the "BEFORE" photo - so you can see the transformation!
The stuffies are then brought to our Stuffy Re-Care Center, where they are washed with a high-temperature sanitation cycle with natural, hypoallergenic and skin-friendly detergents - so they are perfect for snuggles.
Then, the animals are restuffed with fresh stuffing to make them squeezably soft.
From there, a 3D printed "Wish Star" is placed inside the stuffy, and the animal is stitched back together. At this stage, I take the "AFTER" photo, so you can see your newly washed, newly stuffed, lovely stuffy!
We can also add optional perfume scents (if requested) for a small fee.
Your new best friend is then carefully packaged for travel to your home - complete with any accessories you purchased.
Please note: Business hours are between 2-6 PM
Please send a text or leave a voicemail and I will get back to you during business hours to make your magical stuffy dream come true!We do in store or local event purchase only around the upper state of SC. Please email to schedule a time and a place, and to talk about any additional information like, if you want a sent in your stuffy if so wat sent, any specific accessories, or ect. also all stuffies are for ages 5 and up unless you do a special order and leave out the star.
