"Name a Star" Plush Pets by Russ Berrie, U.S. Gift

Russ Berrie Shining Stars have been some of the best-selling children's plush toys since their release in 2007.

Children love these plush stuffed animals - not only are they sweet and cuddly, they also have a whole different life on ShiningStars.com as virtual pets.  Most importantly, they have a unique quality that no other plush animal has - it's very own star in the sky!

So what's this all about?

About International Star Registry 

How to Name a Star...

Name a Star at StarRegistry.com

The International Star Registry (ISR) is where you can name a real star after the Shining Star pets.

However, it's not just for Russ Shining Stars - ISR is available to anyone who wants to name a real star for themselves, after someone else or give a real star to someone as a very special gift.

Along with the star comes a special certificate and a star chart so that you can easily locate the star in the sky.

This is one of the most unique gifts that someone could receive, and is quite popular with people who fall in love, for giving as birthday or Christmas gifts, gifts for children or given in memory or respect of someone special.

About Russ Berrie Shining Stars 

Russ Berrie Shining Stars Russ Berrie and the International Star Registry have teamed up to provide the most unique plush & virtual pets ever, and so far they are really taking the world by storm!

The pets themselves are reasonably priced (about $15.00 - and usually less than this on Amazon.com) - and there is no additional cost to name a star after the pet!

As of this writing (Dec, 2007) there are 25 pets (not including Limited Editions), but I predict that more will be released in the not-too-distant future. If you would like to see them all, click here:Or - check out some of the more popular ones below:

Hi Florissa,

You know - at one point I saw some Shining Stars custom outfits for sale on Amazon.com. Try doing a search for "russ shining stars clothes" and see if they come up. Or, just "russ shining stars".

Hope that helps!

Hi Michelle,

I don't know, but I suspect that the online virtual pet aspect of the Shining Stars was inspired by Webkinz (Ganz). -TonyaB
