CUSTOMER LOVE
"This was purchased after my son had a complication from his appendicitis landing him in the hospital for several weeks. When word got out that we had an appendix plush we got extra visits from nurses and doctors wanting to check out his unique gift."

My young daughter needed to have her appendix out, and we knew noone else who ever had that done. She had alot of questions, why her? Why did her appendix get sick? I found I Heart Guts and thought it was cute so I ordered her a "new" appendix. She LOVED it, especially the book it comes with that is educational with a great sense of humor. It helped her so much that she raised money and donated appendix stuffies to her surgeon to give to other kids that need their appendix out. I Heart Guts was supportive to her when they heard what she was doing, which is just another way they are amazing!
This is the second time we've surprised a loved one with their organ back, plush style.
Having an emergency procedure can really dampen the mood and make life hard. Both times now this has brought much laughter and joy to the patient.
This unexpected gift really lightens the mood and helps to see this emergency as another adventure in life to laugh about but never forget!
Thanks for this idea and for helping people laugh!
Nothing like gifting a plush organ to organically bring the smiles back! We're so glad our insides could bring some much needed laughs during tough times. Thanks for keeping us in your heart. Sending love from the bottom of our organs to yours, Sami!
My mom had her gallbladder removed six months ago, and recently had to have her appendix removed as well. To make her feel better I’ve purchased both the gallbladder and then decided to purchase the appendix plushy to replace what she’s lost. When she initially got the gallbladder plush, she laughed so hard she said it hurt a little :-D Then after she got the appendix, she said, I love these plushies but hopefully I don’t get gifted anymore to replace any more organs. What she doesn’t know is that soon she’ll be receiving a heart of gold. I love the iHeart guts plushies, and will be finding any excuse to purchase more in the future ;-)
Got the appendix and spleen plushes for my husband as a funny gift after he lost both to surgery. He loved them!
RIP to your hubby's appendix and spleen! Lost but never forgotten, especially now that he's got plushie replacements!
I just had to purchase this adorable appendix plush pillow. It has the happiest little face. After losing my appendix due to a very rare appendix cancer this is something to bring a smile to my face when everything about this disease brings sadness.
Karen, we're tearing up. We're sorry to hear about your long lost appendix, but so glad you're enjoy your plushie replacement! We can confidently say that our stuffed organs are far less problematic than the real thing LOL! Here's to a long-lasting Gutsy friendship with you and your happy little appendix.
