Jellycat earns glowing reviews for irresistibly soft, well‑made plushes that delight babies, kids, and adults, with standout favorites like Bashful Bunny, Odyssey Octopus, and the Amuseables line. However, reviews also flag drawbacks: consistently high prices, occasional washability concerns, bead weighting inside some toys, variable softness across newer shapes, and mixed experiences with availability and customer service.

  • I could not recommend anything more, everyone needs a jellycat! Be warned once you start getting jellycats there is no going back they are just too cute!!!

  • I’m obsessed with jelly cats! They are adorable. I can’t stop buying jelly cats for my friends birthdays or Christmas. I highly recommend them to anyone!

  • Jellycat are the ultimate stuffed toys. So soft and so cute, and everything from animals to vegetables. I'm 33 years old and I still want them all. They are pricey, but I think they're worth it.

  • I might be an adult but I do still love stuffed animals and I must say this is one of my favorite stuffed animal companies. I think it is so fun that they give food and inanimate objects legs! I recently got the strawberry stuffed animal as a present from my dad for passing my schools nursing entrance exam, and I think I was happier to get the stuffed animal than I was to pass! Definitely recommend getting these stuffies, such a great present. I now have 3!

  • 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.

  • The JellyCat stuffies are soooo soft! Also, they have a series of "books with tails" for when your baby is in that "loves tags" stage. Soft, cute! I know a kid obsessed with the frogs. Warning - they have beads in them. Personally, I love Squishmallows, but the quality of Jellycat things is high, I just wish they didn't use beads as weights.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • I’ve always loved Jellycat. There’s something about their plushies that just makes people smile, no matter their age. Every time I pick one up, it feels like holding a tiny piece of comfort. The quality is incredible, the textures are soft and velvety, and the characters always have this quirky charm that sets them apart from other stuffed animals. I started buying them as gifts for my nephews, and now it has become a bit of a tradition. Every birthday or holiday, I find myself scrolling through the Jellycat site trying to pick which one to get next. The animals are all so cute that it’s almost impossible to choose. My nephews love them and always end up giving each one a name and personality of its own. It’s sweet to see how attached they get. What I love most is how timeless they are. Jellycat has this ability to make something that feels nostalgic but still fresh. It’s the kind of brand that reminds you of childhood while still feeling like the perfect modern gift. Even as an adult, I totally get the appeal. If you’re ever stuck on what to give someone, a Jellycat plush is always the right answer. They’re adorable, comforting, and somehow make even a regular day feel a little softer.
