I got this little guy to help keep me warm at night since it’s getting colder! He’s exactly as cute as he looks online, keeps warm for around an hour and a half. Unlike other reviewers I haven’t had a problem at all with it smelling weird, just a ton of lavender :) considering getting others for gifts, so I would recommend!

Great

While this item is super cute, it’s very small for the size. I should have read the size description before buying this because almost $30 for a 12 inch bear is kind of crazy. Also, the heating pouch that’s included smells great when you first buy it, but after heating it up I though it smelled very odd. All in all, I love Rilakkuma, so that was the biggest selling point of this item for me, but I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Even if you're not a fan of Rilakkuma, you'll still love this cuddly friend TT he's perfect! With or without the heated pouch you won't regret getting him! The best gift for yourself and for others TT

The plush is super cute and smells pleasant when you first open it up. I heated up the pouch according to the instructions, and the smell changed to something different. Can't quite place it and it doesn't smell bad, but it isn't exactly pleasant either.
