What are biggerCritters?
biggerCritters are
all one-of-a-kind,
stuffed toys designed,
sewed and named with
love by Krissy
Harris. biggerCritters
are for people who
want toys that have
a little - ok, maybe
a
lot of - personality.
Did we emphasize the one-of-a-kind, unique, handmade,
no-two-alike part? Good.
biggerCritters are each a lump of soft, plushy
love waiting for just the right owner.
biggerCritters are made mostly of fleece, fur
or some other very soft fabric and range in size
from about 6 inches to 18 inches tall or wide.
Eyes, tails, arms, feathers, pompoms and other
odd things sticking out of their heads are all
on tight. In particular, the eyes are fastened
together with washers, not just sewn on.
They are safe for older kids and adults (obviously),
and should be durable even for younger kids. But
use your discretion - there are some little pieces.
The biggerMojo line, however, definitely should
be reserved for teens and adults, as there are
smaller pieces that are not safe for younger children
and babies.
Do people actually like these biggerCritters?
This is a common misconception - see, they're
bigger. They're big, seriously. Most are
more than a foot tall. Hold up your arm - from
the crook of your elbow to the tip of your fingers
- most are taller than that. (Unless you're really
really tall.) A number of them - a good number
of them - are about knee high. See? Bigger.
Seems many people reckon they're only about 4
inches tall - not so. Then they'd have to be called
littleCritters and, well, the whole thing would
have gone down differently.

Well, as long as you asked ... just
read what our biggerFans have to say!
Can I see some pictures with real people?
Well, as long as you asked ... just
look at these pictures of people with their critters!
And biggerKrissy?
biggerKrissy is me, Krissy Harris.
Well, the short of it is that I stopped working a day
job a couple years ago - for myriad reasons. Although
this was a really good decision, it also made me face
the fact that I had no interests apart from work. How
boring was I? Really really boring.
I decided I better get a hobby or two or my days were
going to get very, very long. So I tried knitting, took
Spanish and art classes, went on adventure days and
made new friends. But I still needed something to do.
And for no reason that makes any sense, I started making
these weird stuffed toys - weird mostly because I didn't
know how to sew. Next I got myself a sewing machine
and sort of taught myself how to use it.
I was living a claustrophobic life that just kept getting
smaller and smaller (not to mention crappier and crappier).
As I made my way out, I decided I was going to be a
bigger and better Krissy. Mix that in with a dash of
private joke between a good friend and I, and biggerKrissy
was born. I am biggerKrissy now. You should be bigger
too. It's a pretty darn good place to be.
Who knew?
Hmm. Well. That's it, I guess. I think that in lots
of ways, most of me lives here at biggerKrissy. My happiness
is reflected in every critter I make.
Where's the biggerHeadquarters?
biggerKrissy's biggerHeadquarters is located in
Chicago now. In a building with no heat. Sigh.
What if I want to sell them on my site?
biggerCritters are available for both wholesale
and consigment - so if you want to work something out,
please contact us via
. You can also send us an AOL
instant message (getting tired of this
yet?!). We're looking to get into a couple more stores,
so if you have any ideas or want biggerCritters for
your store, drop a line.
Your site makes me sick - I'd like to see some other
places to shop instead.
Here's the page of links
to other cool web shops and things!
I don't like President Bush. Is there something
I can do?
Why, yes there is. We have made a special George
W Bush Yellow-Bellied ChickenPal. Put
one on your desk at work, send one to a Republican
friend. But it'll let everyone know just where you
stand. Etc.
If you're looking for something specially made,
want to be a biggerKrissy benefactor or just want
to let us know how worthless this site is - go ahead
and contact us.
