Sanrio Skips Candy & Flowers With New Hello Kitty, Kuromi & More Plush Toy Collections for Valentine’s Day 2026

by

To help you celebrate Valentine’s Day, Sanrio has launched two new collections of plush toys that are designed to be a lasting gift, unlike traditional chocolates and flowers. These collections, created in partnership with TeeTurtle, feature popular characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi.

TeeTurtle, the company famous for its cute plushies and t-shirts, has launched two new Sanrio collections perfect for Valentine’s Day. The first, available now on TeeTurtle and Amazon, is a special line of Sanrio plushies shaped like reversible gift boxes. Each plushie transforms from a wrapped present into a beloved Sanrio character – a two-in-one Valentine’s gift!

Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody & Strawberry Shortcake Arrive for New Valentine’s Day 2026 Plushie Release

These adorable plushies start as a gift box and magically transform to reveal Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, or Strawberry Shortcake! Each one is about 5 inches wide and 4 inches tall, made with super-soft, stretchy velboa fabric that’s perfect for cuddling. They’re available for $11.99.

Every character brings a unique feel to Valentine’s Day. Kuromi’s plush is for those who prefer a less traditional romance. It features her classic look with pink hearts, and when flipped over, reveals a giftbox with a black skull design and purple ribbon. It’s ideal for giving as a playful gift or keeping for yourself if you’re feeling a bit mischievous but sweet.

The Hello Kitty plush is designed with a comforting, all-pink aesthetic, using a softer, darker pink shade than her usual red, with lighter pink details. It cleverly transforms into a pink gift box featuring a light pink ribbon decorated with apples and bows. The plush is meant to evoke happy moments and remind us that kindness is a strength.

My Melody’s plush toy is incredibly soft and cute. Her classic pink hood is decorated with hearts, and it cleverly transforms into a pink and white gift box with hearts, flowers, and bows when turned inside out. It’s ideal as a sweet gift, for anyone who loves Valentine’s Day, or just needs a little extra softness in their life.

New Emotional Support-Style Plushies for Hello Kitty, Kuromi & My Melody Are Here to Comfort for Valentine’s Day 2026

Besides their popular reversible plushies, TeeTurtle has created Cloudheads, which are now available only at Michaels stores and on their website. These soft, huggable plushies are designed to be comforting companions, with large heads and slightly weighted bodies, and can be easily posed or displayed anywhere.

I’m absolutely obsessed with the new Sanrio Cloudheads! They’ve released Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi versions, and they all smell like strawberries – it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! They’re a really nice size, about 4.75 x 5 x 4 inches, and are super soft because they’re made with this stretchy velboa fabric. Plus, they’re weighted with glass beads so they can actually sit up on their own, which is so cute! Each character is dressed in an adorable strawberry outfit, and Hello Kitty even has a strawberry on her bow! Seriously, they’re just the sweetest.

I’m a huge fan of TeeTurtle! They really blew up thanks to their adorable reversible octopus plushies – seriously, TikTok went wild for them! And it’s awesome that they’ve teamed up with Sanrio on some really cute collections, plus they’ve even done stuff with big names like Dragon Ball Z! It’s cool to see them collaborating with so many different brands.

You can now find TeeTurtle’s Sanrio Cloudheads at Michaels.com. Plus, the Sanrio Reversible Present Box Plushies are available online at TeeTurtle.com and HotTopic.com.
