I have a little rabbit i've slept with my entire life (I'm in my late 20s now). I have a few of my favorite old stuffed animals back at my parents' house but I keep them because they remind me of things (the monkey my late grandmother gave me when I had the chicken pox and a doll baby I loved the most out of all of my dolls. New stuffed animals don't really do anything for me, I need to have a special childhood/nostalgic memory connected to it
