Part of our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide

Everybody needs a good little buddy, and my sweet Balian is no exception! B loves all of his little stuffed animal friends, but he recently gained a new buddy, who just so happens to offer something his other pals just can't!

Caryn Noritz, an Independent Scentsy Rep offered to send us a Scentsy Buddy to review as part of our Holiday Gift Guide. I was super excited about the chance to review a Scentsy Buddy. These buddies aren't your run of the mill stuffed pal! They're some of Scentsy's best sellers, and they even have their own Facebook page and website! I just had to see what all the fuss was about over these cute little pals.

Scentsy Buddies

Caryn was sweet enough to send us Scratch the Cat, who is absolutely adorable! She is super cuddly and soft! Scratch came to us in her very own carry case (box) with handles. All of her info is on the box! Now, what makes Scratch and all of the other Scentsy Buddies so special and unique is that they unzip in the back, and there is a built in pocket for you to place your favorite Scentsy Scent Pak. The Scent Pak makes each and every Scentsy Buddy come alive with fragrance!

 Scratch the Cat at our house! Isn't she cute!?

It's important to note that the Scentsy Buddies are for children 3 and up. Reason being, the Scent Paks contain fragrance oils and are not suitable for little babes. I introduced Scratch to Balian, without the Scent Pak inside. He squealed with delight upon meeting Scratch, and gave her a big hug! So adorable to see little ones interact with their best friends... even if that friend is a stuffed animal! 

Here are some of Scratch the Cat's features:

 There are lots of adorable Scentsy Buddies to choose from to suit every child or even the child in you! At just $25.00 each, you can build a Scentsy Buddy collection! There are ten Buddies in all! I think the Scentsy Buddies would make adorable stocking stuffers this Christmas. Just imagine your child finding a special new friend popping out of their stocking on Christmas morning! I can see those big eyes and sweet smiles, now! Scentsy Buddies would make a great wrapped gift, too... you could get all cute and include in ID tag or 'birth certificate' with the Scentsy Buddy. Get creative! How about giving the Scentsy Buddy as a get well gift to someone who is sick or recovering from surgery? Sweet idea!

 Some of the delicious Scents Paks offered by Scentsy...

On to the Scent Paks... Caryn sent us the Honey Pear Cider Scent Pak, which smells so, so good! I think I may have a new favorite fragrance! I decided not to put the Scent Pak into the Scentsy Buddy, simply because I wanted to allow Balian to cuddle his new friend. If I do decided to put the Scent Pak into Scratch the Cat, she would simply become a shelf sitter in Balian's room, which would be perfectly fine, because she would make his stinky boy room smell delicious and fresh! I have some options with the Scent Pak, though... I can use it in a drawer, a closet, toss it into a tote bag, or place it just about anywhere I'd like to add a little Scentsy fragrance. I can even hang it up, because there is a little loop in the top left corner of the Pak. This Scent Pak should not be placed on finished surfaces or on the dashboard in your vehicle. There are 36 amazing Scent Pak scents to choose from, and at just $7.00 each, I can see myself stocking up on these and giving them as stocking stuffers. All of the girls in our family love nice-smelling things!

 Yummy Honey Pear Cider Scent Pak...
