  • I love my Jellycat bag charm and will definitely be purchasing more! Great for gifts — my best friend and I are thinking of getting matching bag charms next. The material is so soft, the quality is great, and the designs are exceptional. I love seeing a brand so universally loved by both adults and kids, or rather, bring out the kid in the adult.

  • Jellycats are more adorable than I can handle. I have a pair of cherries and they are currently acting as decoration in my living room and I love seeing them in the background of my zoom meetings. These little guys are super cute and great for gifts.

  • We absolutely love toys from Jellycat. We have so many. I have five kids, and for birthdays, Christmas, different occasions, I seem to always get something from Jellycat. I always love seeing their new launches. And of course my kids love them as well.

  • Jellycat is actually my favorite stuffed animal brand. I think their in person experiences are incredible and so interactive. I feel like it’s kind of created bonding moments with my family and my friends and now I have really good memories associated with jellycats.

  • I mean, I don't think you can go wrong with stuffies. But Jellycat is such a joyful brand. And I don't even have a kid, my boyfriend got me the Cauliflower from Strand Bookstore — and I've gotten my coworker vegetable ones. So cute, so snuggly, just brightens your mood and the home.

  • A friend bought a bunny for my 1 year old daughter, it was quickly her favorite stuffed animal. It's very soft and seems durable enough. I bought the sheep dog too, it is very cute as well but a bit less soft. The price is a pretty high, but the quality seems worth it. I'll know in a couple years I suppose. I wanted to get her something customized with her name on it, but they only do the ear on the bunny and sweaters on other animals. It would be great if they had more customization options.

  • Every time I have the opportunity to buy a Jellycat stuffed toy for a friend’s little one, I always do it. Jellycat’s toys are so incredibly soft and so incredibly cute! My husband always thought I was insane for spending a lot of money on a stuffed toy, (they are a bit pricey… some might say “over priced” for what they are) but when we found out that we were having a baby, he asked if we should buy them a Jellycat stuffed toy. Obviously, I jumped at this opportunity and showed him the wide variety of stuff toys Jellycat offers. Everything from bunnies to farm animals to under the sea creatures to stuffed toys in the shape of veggies and potted plants! They’re so freakin cute! We somehow opted for a mythical creature called a “Jub Jub” and he’s really strange but absolutely adorable! We hope when our little guy is big enough he’ll love to snuggle his Jellycat stuffed animal!

  • My three and a half year old has an entire shelf dedicated to all her jellycats. They are so soft and cuddly.

    My daughter is absolutely obsessed with her Jellycat raccoon I’m particular.

  • Jellycat makes some of the cutest plush friends! They are also very soft. My friends and I have purchased many and will continue to purchase them. It is sometimes difficult to find the specific plush you are looking for as they are often out of stock. However, many stationery stores also sell them. I also visited the popup store in Chicago on Michigan Avenue. It had a small selection but was great. They also had the exclusive carrot cake plush!

  • My son has the little lemon tart, it’s adorable! Super soft, and he loves to play with it. He got it as a gift and now I buy them when I see them!

  • My friend got me the Ricky Rain frog with headphones as a gift. I'm not normally a stuffed animal person but it was a perfect addition for my office desk. It's soft and when I'm working it is a nice little companion!

  • I LOVE my jellycat! I got the huge Bashful Beige Bunny. The quality matches the price. I’ve had her for a few years now, and she still looks amazing. She even survived a few washes in the washing machine, with her stitching still perfectly intact. She’s also the perfect size to hold and cuddle with.

  • I love Jellycat! I am an early educator and so many of my students have had these animals. When my son was approaching 1 and getting too old for his Wubbanub pacifier cat, I knew he would need a comfort item as he would be moving up a classroom at school, and his dad and I were both moving apartments. I turned to Jellycat because I already knew they are trustworthy and durable! Since last spring we have toted “Momo” the little bee (originally Beellermo, a pun on Guillermo) everywhere. I even bought two extras, which we have since tragically lost, but now we have a Little Momo and a Big Momo that have kept my son company for going on a year now. We wash them occasionally when needed and air dry—washing does make the fur a little fuzzy and matted, but honestly it adds to the cuteness! You can tell they are well-loved items and that’s okay. None of the seams or stitching have ever frayed or come apart. Everyone always says how cute the bees are and asks about the brand, and I gladly recommend it to anyone who wants to know! I’ve had a couple friends buy Jellycat plushies after I told them about it, and they (and their kids) love them too. I’ll always be a Jellycat fan!

  • You might think, "What's so special about a stuffed animal?" I thought the same before becoming a parent. But having a toddler who is extra sensitive and definitely needs a "lovey" (or five!) for bed, I realized that Jellycat toys are the ones she keeps coming back to, every time. The things that sets them apart: 1. The SOFTNESS--my daughter pets her stuffed bunny when she's getting sleepy and I swear it's what has helped her fall asleep independently, having her Jellycat! 2. The cute characters--Have a kid that's into dragons? They got that! Have one that's into ice cream? They got that. It's so great because my daughter will go through phases where she's really into something (like unicorns) and I know that if I want to reward her or gift her with a toy that she'll definitely be into, I just turn to Jellycat.

  • We've recieved several jellycat stuffies for our son and they are all incredibly cute and high quality! Their variety of price points makes them a great add-on gift for baby showers etc.

    If you see one you like, don't wait to buy it since a lot of their styles are limited edition. Also if your little one is particularly attached to a certain style, buy a backup when you find it just in case!

  • Hes so soft and cute and came in his own bag like all jelly cats, delivery was fast abd hes adirablr

  • We have quite few of their plush toys and kids love them all, lovely and soft and so pretty. Amazing quality really

  • I own far too many of these! absolutely love them, so soft, high quality, a little expensive but so unique and cute!

  • So soft and cute! I always give a jelly cat stuffie at baby showers and those stuffies become beloved companions well into teenage years. They're more expensive than other companies but I think of them as an affordable heirloom

  • I love them so much they are a great brand overall I have been to the jellycat dinner in New York twice and I loved all of the food items
