* RealityEnsues: Bo Peep wanted to be played with by the family Andy and Molly's mother donated her to, just like her previous owners did with her. Unfortunately, the girls weren't as careful with playing with toys like Andy was due to being very young girls, and Bo Peep and her sheep are made out of porcelain. As a result, their parents banned them from playing with the lamp and its figurines (though it didn't stop them from getting some playtime in with them behind their parents' backs).

* EurekaMoment: During her time at Second Chance Antiques, Bo Peep overheard a mother suggest to her children that they go to the nearby playground. That's when she got the idea to become a Lost Toy in order to have plenty of kids play with her and the sheep and would never have to worry about being abandoned by one again.

* ButtMonkey: Bo Peep and her sheep suffer through many misfortunes after being given to various owners.

* ContinuityNod: At the beginning of the short, Woody has finished telling Bo his story of everything that happened in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'' and the beginning of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'', with Giggles being particularly fascinated with the bit about the giant claw at the end of the former.

* ChekhovsGun: The two little girls that Bo Peep and her lamp were donated to attempted to replace a lightbulb at one point. Unfortunately, they used a too-small lightbulb, resulting in a short-circuit induced fire that burned Bo Peep's bonnet. She uses the same method to create a small fire in the antique shop so she and the sheep could sneak out while the fire department was too busy dealing with the fire.

* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: After years of being passed between unsavory owners and being thrown away, Bo Peep originally welcomed the peaceful life of being on display in the antique store. However, the boredom of just collecting dust on a shelf proved to be just as miserable.

* UnreliableNarrator: Giggle and Bo teasingly suggest that some of the story was untrue (most prominently the antique shop being protected by lasers you'd expect in a museum full of invaluable art, not in an antique shop), or at least jazzed up a bit. Outside the lasers, none of it is really outside the realm of possibility for ''Toy Story'' though, so the audience can take it at face value.

It chronicles the story of what happened to Bo Peep between the time she was donated and her meeting Woody again during the events of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4''.

* SecretSanta: When Bo Peep winds up in a "Free" box by the curb once the little girls outgrew the lamp, a college student walks by and decides to use the lamp as a White Elephant joke gift for one of these events. The college student who received it wound up using it for quite a bit afterward.
