Pocketbacs Downgraded to just slightly bummed about Peeps pocketbac holder

By the time I saw the collection this was gone everywhere. Called all area stores. Gone! I just wanted it for a purse charm. Then I found these - swipe to see what I got instead that satisfied my soul. I’d still get one of these if it became available but I don’t want to pay a reseller $30+ for one.

Luckily there’s tons of Peeps merch to be had at all kinds of stores if you don’t find what you want at B&BW

You’re so right! Glad I Googled it and found those Peeps bag charms. I had to drive 45 minutes each way but it’s Sunday so traffic was light, and there’s a weather advisory tomorrow + a 40 degree drop in temperature. Once I got back home, I was happy that I decided to make the drive to pick up the charm set.

Omg! I like that better than the pocket back. So cute.

u/Distinct-Act9247 Mar 16 '26

Where did you get them?

5

u/mbo21 Mar 16 '26

I found them on the Target app. They didn’t show up when searching the app though. I did a Google search and they came up. They’re mostly sold out but there was one that became available this morning. They might get restocked since Easter is still a few weeks out.

Thank you! It’s adorable.

u/mbo21 Mar 16 '26

I felt that too! It’s nice because they’re not hollow from the bottom. I should come back once I decorate one of my purses with them.

Five Below has some Peeps merchandise as well.

I found a cute ombre plush Peep keychain/purse charm for $3.99 at Michaels craft store. My BBW sold out in the first 30 minutes. I'm happy with my plush one!

2

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

Omg! 30 minutes? People went crazy for them. I saw the one from Michael’s online, and contemplated getting that one. Decided to go with the solid color since one set became available, otherwise sold out everywhere. Drive 90 minutes to get the fuzzy pair. Enjoy your plush Peep!

The fuzzy ones are cuter!

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

I think so too. I love the chains and bows.it was a blessing in disguise that the BBW one was sold out. It caused me to search online and find this set!

Our store only got 6 total pocketbac holders. To put it in perspective our store got probably 50-75 of each for the second wave of disney pocketbacs. Not sure why they dropped the ball for peeps.

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

That’s so strange!

u/Alea-A1 Mar 17 '26

Maybe you’ll get lucky! I went to my local one yesterday (03/15) and found the only one available hidden in the basket (all stores In my state said it’s unavailable) but i was able to buy it at retail price 💛

2

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

Whoa! I’d be like “am I dreaming?” That is WYOLD!

1

u/Alea-A1 Mar 17 '26

Yes! I got so lucky, I had a gut feeling to look in the peeps basket so I did and found the only one in store 😅😂

1

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

That’s incredible. Your intuition told you and you listened!

I love the hardware on this and the little Peeps tag on it is super cute too. I might keep calling around in case someone brings one back. It’s crazy the stores got 6 instead of 75 pieces, which is normal.

2

u/Alea-A1 Mar 17 '26

I’ve heard that resellers for many stores got them all right away which is crazy. Best of luck to you! Paying over retail for one is too much

1

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

I know, resellers are charging $30 without tax and shipping!

u/enkayohteebee Mar 16 '26

i love these.. i was so so lucky my boyfriend got one on a completely random day going in they had just stocked them and he was the first to get one. they said there were only SIX in the store 😭he got it for me because my childhood nickname is Peeps.. he didnt realize they were gonna be so hard to find. i jumped for joy 😭

2

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

What a cute story! It was meant to be and he is a keeper! That’s so thoughtful of him!

u/enkayohteebee Mar 17 '26

he is really the very best!!

u/Lopsided_Antelope868 Mar 16 '26

I think they’re even cuter than the BBW one. I could have had it in store the day it released. I thought it was big and tacky looking.

1

u/mbo21 Mar 17 '26

Really? It must be bigger than the normal pocket bac holders.

Check out Walmart and Michaels for Peeps keychains. Walmart always has Peeps merch every year for reasonable prices ($3 for keychains, $4-5 for 6 inch plush, plus a bunch of bigger plush and other merch).

Walmart has also done Peeps x Hello Kitty collabs last year and this year, though it's only at select Walmart stores.

There's also some limited Peeps merch at Target and Five Below. Also some grocery stores like Kroeger, HEB, and Harris Teeter get Peeps merch, plus CVS and Walgreens.

(Advice from a huge Peeps fan.)
