It&#8217;s not easy to have celebrations right now. Noa is a fourth-grader with a big heart and overflowing imagination. Her mother, Jaime, had to think outside of the box to create a special <a href=\"\/blog\/stories\/supersized-birthday-gift-surprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">birthday party<\/a> for her daughter. They weren&#8217;t able to hold a sleepover with four of her friends because of social distancing. But her mom came up with an idea thanks to her Budsies friends.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NOA2.jpg\" alt=\"birthday during coronavirus\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jaime says Noa absolutely loves her Budsies.\u00a0When she was in second\u00a0grade, Noa designed her first &#8220;Chub&#8221; character named Dew Dew in Art Class.\u00a0This fun character quickly grew into a lovable obsession for Noa. She did not just want to create one Budsies character. Instead, her goal was to create an array of her own custom stuffed animals, known as &#8220;Chubs,&#8221; and to create a backstory for each one. She told her mom that she wanted to be able to hold one of her characters That&#8217;s when Jaime found out about Budsies and turned to their talented designers to help Noa&#8217;s wish come true.<\/p>\n<p>Now Noa has four Budsies, with three more on the way. There&#8217;s a &#8220;Chubs,&#8221; for each day of the week! Noa even has shirts with her original designs printed on them so she can represent her creations in style as Budsies brings her artwork to life.<\/p>\n<h2>A Special Budsies Birthday Party<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4572\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2020\/04\/NOA3.jpg\" alt=\"birthday during coronavirus\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t have a slumber party during social distancing, you certainly can have four Budsies help you out with a birthday scavenger hunt! Jaime took all of Noa&#8217;s favorite custom stuffed animals and created an elaborate hunt for Noa to embark upon using her imagination.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, all of her Budsies gathered on her bed so Noa could open her final present. Then, her parents brought her &#8220;Chub-cakes&#8221; which were little cupcakes with pictures of each of Noa&#8217;s drawings sticking out of the desserts. With a little imagination and a ton of friendly custom stuffed animals, Noa\u00a0had one of her favorite birthdays with the characters she lovingly created.
