I found this set of two Three Bigrees trays on eBay a few years ago. They feature the "Hamburger Stand" theme (my favorite!) and are marked $4.50.

Puddles Plush
I few years ago I was very excited to find this Three Bigrees plush on eBay. He's Puddles the Hippo and stands about 7 inches tall. He's not dated (or priced) anywhere, but I would guess early '80s. He's wearing burgundy corduroy pants with faux leather suspenders.
Best of all, he still has his original paper tag:
The back explains the origin of the Three Bigrees:

Noranekoland Stickers
This set of Sanrio Noranekoland stickers dates from 1989. It features three cats: brothers Kuro and Tora and sister Mike.
Tora must be the tiger-striped cat, Mike is the calico (calicos are almost always females) and Kuro is the black and white one. I never saw this character in the 80s, and I suspect it was not common outside of Japan.

Let's Chat Pencil Case
This plastic "Let's Chat" pencil case is by Sony Creative Products and features Penjamin Penguin. It's dated 1982. On the back it is also marked Expression.
I never saw a lot of Sony Creative Products items growing up in the 80s, but I did have a Let's Chat notebook that I remember getting in a dollar store-type place.

Bunny and Matty Mug
This Sanrio Bunny and Matty child-size ceramic mug is only 2.5 inches tall. It's dated 1976. The front looks to me like a pilot theme with Bunny and Matty wearing goggles and a parachute (but also a raincoat, rain hat, and boots).
But on the back, Matty is sitting in a cloud trying to catch a baseball:
Who said cute had to make sense? Hop two!
