Piggy Wiggies are collectible plush toys that are made from socks. The company was launched earlier this year at the New York Toy Fair and has already had the distinction of having their product named Plush Toy of the Year by Creative Child.
Piggy Wiggies are named after members of the creator’s family. Bingy and Lilly are sister Piggy Wiggies (named after the creator, Emma Louise, and her own sister). Other family members are also represented such as Doodles (the Dad). There are even limited edition holiday ones: Loved Santa and Santa Snorz (great stocking stuffers!).
These toys are recommended for ages 3 and up, and because of the buttons used for nostrils, I definitely agree with that recommendation. However, Baby C. saw them and instantly fell in love. At first she was only allowed to play with them while sitting on either my or hubby’s lap so we could monitor her play and ensure she wasn’t putting the buttons in her mouth. She loved them so much, though, that she never wanted to set them down. So we ended up cutting off the buttons. Poor Piggy Wiggies! It was the only way we were comfortable with letting her play with them, though, and it’s good that we did. She’s grown so attached that she literally cries if I take one out of her hand long enough to just put her arm through her stroller strap.
Joining the Piggy Wiggies family are Howly Owlies. The first one, Sad Sam, is available now; the rest should be available starting in December.
Where to Buy
Piggy Wiggies start at $13 ($6.99 for key chains) and are carried at FAO Schwarz, various boutiques and zoos around the country, and online.
You can also win your choice of one large Piggy Wiggy and one key chain! Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Reminder: Rafflecopter takes a moment to load; if you don’t see the form after a minute, please try refreshing your browser.

Loved Santa is my favorite one!
I would like to win this for my 5 year old! To say she loves pigs would be an understatement! Last year she had her birthday party on a farm so all the kids could pet and feed a real pig. We just recently bought her a mini pot belly pig as a pet. His name is Mr. Orson!
My favorite piggy on the site is Cheeky Monkey!
