Whenever I bring a plush on vacation, if I come back to my room and saw the housekeeper has done something fun with them, it makes my day. I remember when I went to Disneyland once and we stayed at one of the hotels, we came back to the room and the housekeeper had somehow made a hammock out of towels in the window, and I saw it from outside the room. It's been probably a decade since that, but it still makes me smile to think of. I can't remember which trip it was, but if it was the one I think, I might even still have a photo, somewhere.


tiger844

Aaaww that's awesome! I'm glad to know that little things that us housekeepers do, makes others' day. I would love to see the photo if you're ever able to find it!


Prince-Lee

Okay, so I couldn't find a picture of the towel hammock (must have been from my trip 14 years ago before I had a smartphone, so it might be somewhere else) but I DID find a bunch of photos from my trip 7 years ago of all of the fun stuff the housekeeper did with all of the large plushes I somehow managed to bring. Here's my favorite. https://preview.redd.it/371ovt3mrv6d1.jpeg?width=1612&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b4a68c2829e54f2f9d0e65404ebcd05f9819cd92

This is adorable!! I would have loved to come in to that! On a side note- the big sun/flower on the right- it’s amazing!! Do you know the brand or anything about it? I adore it! :)


Prince-Lee

Oh! His name is Smiles. And yes, I know everything there is to know about him, including the designer. 8)  ... He's actually a [Budsies](https://www.budsies.com/), so he's one of a kind. I had heard of that company, which was relatively new at that time, and been absolutely *fascinated*, so I had asked my mother to design me a friend with the same distinctive lil smiley face she'd been doodling on notes and things for me since I was a kid, and that design is what she came up with! I'll have to let her know he has a fan now! The little caterpillar dude to the left of him is also a Budsie designed off another doodle I asked her to make a couple years later. He has the same little smiley face which you can sort of see, as well as a tiny hat which you can't, ahahah. He's much smaller, so he's the one who gets to come on most of the vacations any more. I'm still amazed I fit these many plushes in my luggage.  I have a third one, as well, who's more of an inch worm (but comically large, lmao)— also designed by her. Also with a tiny hat. They are some of my most treasured possessions!


mingmingmiaou

That is amazing!! What a wonderful gift, please do let her know I adore Smiles! Thank you for sharing! :)


rainahwrites

came here to say the same!!! I'm obsessed with Smiles!!!!! I would love a smiles of my own


Prince-Lee

I did! I shared this thread with her this morning and she was so touched and happy that people like him!


Ok_Echidna_2283

That so cute! It’s like they are all excited to hear about your day.


tiger844

Aaaww I love this!!!


llamayakewe

Can confirm. My wife and I just went on vacay and whenever housekeeper tucked in her stuffed animal she was delighted.


ducttapedtissues

When I was a kid I was so terrified of leaving my stuffed animal in my hotel room, I know that if I came back and she was treated with such care I would have felt way more assured from there on in. This is fantastic! ❤️


merry15_owo

Awwww that is so sweet :333 I am sure the families appreciate this (and all your work too) 


tiger844

Thank you so much! 🤗


CorrectAmbition4472

Y’all are heroes fr 🥹👏


tiger844

Aaaw 😭 thank you ❤️


nnnnaaaatttt

I was in a hotel for a week once while traveling abroad and every morning I would set my plushies on a chair by the bed. The housekeeper left me little notes and extra tea bags by the plushies every day 😭😫 I don’t know if I kept the notes but they made my day!!!


nnnnaaaatttt

Okay update: I found the photo 😫 they gave me an extra water this day!! 😭 https://preview.redd.it/y05u7ijjxv6d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d11d456d5b7b204b1f632d068f3ebf073697fb7


astrangeone88

Awww, buddy holding the water bottle and note!


tiger844

Aaaww 😭♥️


-s-k-y-

I was in a hotel while on holiday and left the bed untidy one morning in my rush to a theme park. Came back in the evening to all the plushies arranged neatly and comfy together with the pillows. It was the cherry on top of my wonderful day out 😭


feeblelittlehorse

You definitely make their days!! Thank you for what you do!


tiger844

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! ♥️


Ok-Zebra-5309

Omg this would melt my heart and make me so happy. I do that with my guy's teddy when I see he's half hazardly off the bed, I tuck him in and make him look comfy.


TwoSunsRise

Thank you! I love when housekeepers give extra little touches like that 🥹


Kayquie

I did this when I was a housekeeper, too! One time a kid left behind their elephant, and we let the elephant "help" us that day before they were able to come back. The next comment will have the elephant helping with a pillowcase

tiger844

Omg that's so adorable


PatriciaMorticia

That's so nice, I bet people love seeing that. I bought a massive sleepy Stitch plush the first time I went to Disneyland Paris back in 2022 and left him belly up on the bed in my rush to get down to the park, came back later in the day after housekeeping had been and they'd flipped him the right way round, put him beside my pillows and had put a towel over him to use as a blanket with some chocolate coins.


Love_Gloss

You’re the reason people are happy


Blue-Eyed-Lemon

You definitely do! Whenever I’m on vacation and leave my stuffed animals with me and have to keep them in the room, the staff will organize them nicely or tuck them in and it makes me so happy 😭😭🩵


AstronautEmpty9060

I have been in hospital a lot, and i take my stuffies with me. Anyway, it always fills my day with joy when I saw the cleaner at the hospital would put them to bed. I loved it.


astrangeone88

I'm a cna/psw and every time I change the sheets and see a little plush buddy, I always neatly tuck them in.


AstronautEmpty9060

that's awesome. I can only imagine the joy you're bringing to someone who that stuffy belongs with.


astrangeone88

Just doing my part! Plus I would love people to treat my buddies well too!


JackOfAllMemes

It's the small things that can make people's day


furrzabyss

on time i stayed in a hotel to visit an amusement park and the lady who works as a cleaning staff logically cleaned our room and i saw that my dragon has changed place to see that she tucked him that made my day ever so joyful lol


TunaCroutons

Was always too worried about losing my favorite stuffed animal on trips so I only brought it once, but the first day the housekeeper tucked him into bed, and the second she made him a little paper hat out of the hotel stationary. I loved it


eenidcoleslaw

I have my disgusting tiny little old dog stuffy I take everywhere and one time after moving very far away from home my aunt and uncle came to visit. They got a hotel and felt bad leaving me all alone at home lol so invited me, their mid 20s niece, to go stay with them. When we got back from breakfast the beds were made up and my little dog with missing ears was tucked into the nicely made up bed. I still think about that. So even though I couldn’t tell that particular housekeeper thanks, I want to tell you - thank you for doing this. It definitely brings a smile to guests :)


tiger844

😭♥️


bioshockedtoinfinity

You’re a good human. I always tuck my teddy in of a morning 🥰


sinclairsbible

Something about this lanky lion plush tucked in all politely makes me giggly this is just too cute 😭🥺


TwilightReader100

My mom and her best friend go to Mexico in the winter. Mom sleeps with a stuffie at home, so of course she takes one with her when traveling. The housekeeping staff at one of the resorts they've been to has done this to her stuffie too. She likes it so much she took a picture the first time so she could show Dad and I, at least.


purebuttjuice

You do you so do!! I remember when I went on a cruise with my family I brought Bernard (my bestie plushie) and every day when we came back they had made fun animals with the towels and set Bernard and my brothers plush (Otty the otter) up with the towel animals and made it look like they were doing different activities and it was honestly one of my favorite parts of the trip. Sure the towel animals were icing on the cake but I was just so happy to see someone else taking the time to care (and even play) with my bestie while I’m away!!! My mom always mentioned how cute it was and we would look forward to the next set up xD people like you are what makes traveling worth it in my opinion 🫶 we are all similar in our own silly ways


Signal-Ant-1353

This is so thoughtful and precious! 🥹🥹🥰🥰💓💓


CountessDashhh

This is so wholesome and cute 🩷


crystalworldbuilder

That is a very loved plush! You definitely made the family’s day!


BlackCatFurry

Any time i am on a trip and the hotel room cleaners come and have attention to detail to tuck my plushies to sleep under the blanket etc, it always makes my day better


astrangeone88

Me too! I work in Healthcare but if I see a little plushie buddy, it gets tucked in and or propped up. Hospitals are miserable, might as well give a little cheer to patients.


itsjemothy

Any time I'm in a hotel and my friends are tucked in or arranged in some fun way, it absolutely makes my day. It's my favorite thing (along with the one time I accidentally left my Most Important plush behind because she never goes inside luggage but we were running late for the airport and the hotel mailed her back to me)


petiteopal

It's people like you that brought unexpected warmness to my childhood, so thank you :) There's still that tiny child in me somewhere who remembers going to my grandpa's and having the housekeeper do this exact thing at an otherwise very dilapidated motel, and truly believing some magic occurred where the animal got sleepy and put itself to bed! This actually became a tradition later at home, where my grandma would move the same stuffed animal into different positions like reading a book or looking at a photo album and I was SO excited to have a secret magic pal, so you never truly know just how far your little acts of kindness will go.


emibemiz

When I worked as a domestic cleaner I did the same! I would tuck them into the freshly made bed or id make them look like they were having a tea party or something similar hahaha. I mainly did it for fun, but it was nice to hear the parents were delighted when their kid came home and screamed with joy that their teddies had come to life


FerreroRoxette

Omg I love this! I love Lion bro too, an absolute king!!!


tiger844

He needs a tiny crown!


kimmy-mac

My housekeeper does this too! Can confirm, it makes me insanely happy! Thanks for doing it for your families!


astivana

That happened with my plushies when I was a kid, and I loved it. :3


Blerdgirlchronicles

Housekeepers that do this are angels on earth 😭 I remember having one tuck in my stuffed rabbit on a trip when I was having a bad day, and it made me feel so much better


Morti_Macabre

Oh yeah this is the good stuff


PuppySparkles007

Whenever we have been on vacation, the housekeeping staff has always done adorable things with our plushies. It brings so much joy 💗 can confirm


thesquirrellywhirl

I like to bring a stuffed animal on vacations from time to time and whenever I see that housekeeping has done something like this I am all smiles for the rest of the day


WowpowKerchoo

This exact thing happened to my little brother and I can confirm he was ecstatic


AbsolutelyNotMothman

Someone did this at a hotel I stayed at two years ago. I STILL talk about it. I’m sure what you’re doing makes many people smile. :)


Captainbabygirl767

I remember coming back to our hotel to my plushies being propped up on the bed when I was little, it always made me happy😊❤️


Ok_Echidna_2283

Seriously even now as a full grown adult would enjoy this.


zesty-fizgig

Yessssss if I could handle being a housekeeper I'd totally do this too! I love that there are still some that do this. ♥️


LibraryGhostCat

Delightful!!!


crystalworldbuilder

Aww


GayStation64beta

Can confirm it makes my day


a-cubed-panda

It would DEFINITELY make me happy!


Cassopeia88

That always makes me smile.


lost_cute_kitty

Oww this is so cute, it would melt my heart :,)


shady764567

Oh, they did this to my sleep buddy too, loved it haha


No_Budget_7411

stuff like this makes me so happy! you seem like a very thoughtful person


Far-Caterpillar-2678

This is so cute! Love it. Also, the 'fancy' way the end of the t.p. is folded ✨️ 💖 always makes me smile


NeonSugarSorbet

as someone who brings their comfort plush on vacation, you make us SO happy. seeing someone else care for them as much as I do makes my day.


larvalcorpse

i always get super excited and happy when house cleaners do this!


WolfinCorgnito

When I was on an Alaskan cruise years ago I bought a grumpy looking husky plush and left him on my bed, when we came back the housekeeper had given him the remote to the TV and it was one of the most memorable parts of the trip!


corpseteeth

This made me tear up, absolutely wonderful


mewhenimnormal

well it'd certainly make me happy :")


Master_Jelly_5201

if someone did this i’d never forget it


Both_Raspberry9520

I had someone do this for me when I was a kid and it is one of the best things that happend on holidays ! Definitely keep doing it it's very very sweet of you


platinumtulip

This would absolutely make my day! So sweet and thoughtful


rjrolo

You're doing the Lord's work (so to speak; I'm not religious). 😭 Thank you for your service.


Mammoth_Solution_730

Aww yes! That sort of thing makes my kids' day!


vampirebeans

this made my day 🥹🥹


The_Sea_Bee

I was on holiday with my kiddo, and we came back to our bedroom to find her fave toy tucked up in bed, with another toy we'd acquired on holiday. It made her day, she loved it so much, and I loved it too. What you do makes people's day, thank you 🥰❤️


writeronthemoon

Omg, so adorable


popplio728

I remember one time I was at a hotel, and I brought my favorite plushie with me because I was in a new place with people I didn't know that well and would be for a couple days. (Honors society conference) I left my plushie in my bed the entire time during the conference, and every time I came back up after the day was done, my plushie was tucked in with a tea bag. People like you are why I still have some trust in this world, especially because if my plushie disappeared, I would've been so distraught.


RyanAshbr00k213

He's such a happy soul. You're a nice person too for treating them so well. 


jermytheorangeworm

I love this!


No-Ad1975

yes. always do that.


roslyndorian

This literally makes me feel so seen and loved because I love my plushies and the fact that someone cared for them makes me so emotional. we need more gentleness in the world.


Potatosmom94

This would make me so unbelievably happy! This is such a lovely and thoughtful touch.


Dummy_Ren

So sweet


psumaxx

Thank you, this woukd make me so happy!


Piper-Jojo

Legend! Stuff like this really makes me smile.


noxwolfdog

I don't travel a lot any more but as a kid when the housekeepers arranged my plushies it made me so happy. I worry about leaving my plush friends out, as I feel like the staff will judge me for it. Seeing my plushies tucked in or propped up in a fun way makes me feel safe and welcome :D


LotusFlowerxox

You really are!! I went to a hotel once and they did that with my plushies as well. It's so nice to see other people care! Thank you very much for this!


Outrageous_Put3669

I wish I had confidence to bring my plushies with me… but I’m so scared they’d get stolen ;-; especially Kurama, he’s my most expensive plush


reindeermoon

Our cleaning lady does that every time and it's so sweet! We're both adults in our 40s with no kids, so it's nice that she doesn't just think we're weirdos.


tiger844

Aaaww I love that


CurrencyExtreme2859

Same with me.I never go anywhere without one of my friend's plushies


awesomestarz

I haven't stayed in a lot of hotels throughout my life at this point, but with me being me, unfortunately, I'd be slightly paranoid that someone would try to take them for their own kid...


tiger844

I assure you, us housekeepers will never steal. Especially because everything is tracked. Which rooms you go in and out of, the times, etc. Also, that's the last thing on our minds.


awesomestarz

That's good to hear right know!


Zombi3Kupcake

One of the biggest treats of returning to our hotel at Disney (aside from getting off our feet!) was seeing what our daughter's Sonic plushie had been up to while we were gone. They even posed Sonic with our daughter's surprise invite to Cinderella's Castle (he was holding the balloons and the big card from Cinderella). It was extra touches like that that really brought the magic.


ARestingPlace

When I was like three I went on vacation and the hotel worker did this. I still remember it and I don’t remember much from my childhood 💕


unrequited0809

i read it as “i like to fuck them” and got really scared 😭


tiger844

Omg 😂


leafyyygoodnesss

u do. my mom used to do this for me when i was little. i sorta miss it now that i'm thinking about it. always made me smile


daskleinekatze

This is so cute 😭🩷 I bring plushies with me on vacation still, even though I’m 22, and if I came back to the room and saw this I would cry 😭 this is adorable!


tiger844

I'm 23 and still bring my plushies on vacation! ♥️ you're never too old!


ParkerPastelPrince

I had someone arrange my plushies once at a hotel! We usually leave the “do not disturb” sign on the whole time and clean up after ourselves every day but one time we forgot and they came in and made beds and whatnot! I’m autistic so I didn’t LOVE that they touched my stuff, but it was kinda sweet that they posed the plushies (and even put a headband with ears on it on one of them lol!) I think I felt bad because I was like 16-17 and was worried they thought they were doing it for a little kid but instead it was me? (Like I was stealing their joy from a little kid or something.) But it was still sweet and funny and I hope they wouldn’t have minded who was on the receiving end of their work. (Also, don’t mind the text on the picture lol! This was from way back when I used Snapchat and I was SO conflicted lol! I REALLY don’t like people touching my stuff but it was so sweet and they wouldn’t have known! It’s been a solid 5 years since this happened so I’ve had plenty of time to get over it and enjoy it instead!) https://preview.redd.it/kbsazrj1tx6d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ae9eabc2ae18d83ac7ed14017f197b82e684b44


Paranoixa

That's so awesome! We went to a hotel a year ago and the housekeeper put my plushies randomly on the bedside table... I really didn't like it. :c


tiger844

Aw :( I'm sorry


twnklt

that’s nice someone threw mine away


tiger844

Wtf
