Taking the internet by storm, Jellycat soft toys are making their way into millions of hearts. From hauls to wish lists and beyond, everyone is becoming utterly obsessed with the little smiley-faced plushies.
What is Jellycat?
Stuffed animals have been a loveable childhood companion for many providing comfort, joy, and love. Among the many brands, Jellycat stands out for their soft, quirky, and high-quality creations that have captured the hearts of people of all ages.
Founded in the UK in 1999, Jellycat has quickly become one of the most popular and recognizable brands in the world. According to their website, the name Jellycat was dreamt up by a child who loved jelly and cats and giggled at the thought of them together. And so, the Jellycat name was born.
An Ever-Expanding Collection
As most people likely came to know the brand, Jellycat is recognizable for their bashful bunnies with super soft ears which make the perfect gift, especially for children. Having now been in business for over 20 years, their collection has grown immensely to include everything from dragons to frogs and lobsters. There’s something for everyone and every budget.
Following their growing popularity, the company introduced its iconic Amuseables collection which included some slightly more whacky creatures including plush flower pots, pastries, fruit, and more. With their catalog growing more and more each season, the choices are endless!
Why Does Everyone Love Them?
Why have these lovable plushies become so popular? For teenagers, young adults, and 20-somethings, Jellycats aren’t just super soft cozy plushies, but can also be beautifully decorative additions to any room. Their playfulness and sense of humor set the brand aside from other soft toys, making them appealing to so many people, and their vast range on offer has encouraged people to continue adding to their collections.
