When I prepared my 2020 True Top Spenders Mid-Year Check In, I noticed a few items were missing from the blog archives. This is one of them. It is now No. 1 on the charts and No. 4 for the year to date.

FYI: This product is similar to Flawless Body, which was on the charts last year.

This is a recycled brand name. The original Happy Nappers were similar in design to Pillow Pets.

The original campaign ran in 2011 and was No. 18 on the JW Annual that year. It helped spark the plush craze that took over the industry in the ensuing years.
