Abstract

A product having features that facilitate the use of items (e.g., child toys, food items, non-food items, etc.) by way of stuffed creatures (“comfort creatures”). The products can incorporate features such as a compartment to enclose consumable (edible) items such as food and/or drink, and/or non-consumable items so as to hold small gift items for presentation or gifting to another person. The product can be provided with cup-holders embedded into limbs as the stuffed animal is oriented in an upright position. Thus, drink containers can be set into the cup-holders and positioned in a stable manner for use by the child and/or adult. A tray system can also be provided in the main body and removed for standalone use.
