Such a wristband display includes a band having a fastener configured to removably couple first and second ends of the band together to secure the band to a user's wrist. A base is located between the first and second ends of the band, a permanent magnet is disposed in a bore within the base, and a housing encloses the base and the permanent magnet disposed therein. A receiver includes a receiver base and a connector mounted to the receiver base. The receiver base is magnetically couplable to the permanent magnet through the housing so as to be removable from the housing, and a plush object is secured to the receiver base.
