From furry coconuts to pink fluffy parrots, the summer Jellycats to grab before they sell out
We're obsessed with the new tropical collection
If you haven’t heard of Jellycat, they’re essentially the modern version of Beanie Babies, complete with their own super fans and collectibles.
The brand was launched by Thomas Gatacre 25 years ago but has really become popular on TikTok (where else?) in the past few years. The sweet plushies are meant to be aimed at children, yet the London-based brand has created such a huge range of designs that these fun, cuddly toys have become popular with people of all ages. Jellycat croissant bag anyone?
In the quirky Amuseables line (which launched in 2018), you’ll find everything from a smiley avocado (for the millennials) and fluffy potatoes, to a boiled egg wearing a groom's top hat. Naturally. Meanwhile, in the main collection, each toy has its own character and name, such as Ricky Rain Frog or Cooper Doodle Dog, making them fun to collect – one of the reasons they’ve become so sought-after in recent years.
Our top tip – the limited edition and retired models are the most valuable among collectors, and if you can get your hands on the ever-out-of-stock Peach, you're on to a winner, just FYI.
Speaking of limited edition, we recently attended the launch of the Jellycat summer range and it was everything you could imagine and more – there were cuddly sandcastles, giant furry palm trees, and adorable tennis ball bag charms. You'll find all our favourites below.
Where to buy Jellycats
The brand has its own website, which is home to the entire collection of plush toys. You can also find lots of Jellycat toys as well as backpacks and keyring charms at big retailers such as Selfridges, Fenwick and Harrods to name a few. You’ll even find Jellycat on Amazon.
Some Jellycats are exclusive though and are only available in certain locations. The funky Fish & Chips plush is only available in-store at Selfridges, where the team will take your order, wrap up your Fish & Chips and even sprinkle Salt and Vinegar (the Jellycat versions) over them for you. It’s a fun, interactive event that’s incredibly popular – make sure you book so you don’t miss out!
While Jellycats are pricey (typically around £35), they’re well-built, great quality, and have a soft, luxurious feel. Really, it’s no surprise that they’re a go-to gift for many. Just make sure to grab them before they sell out!
Our picks from the Jellycat summer collection
Bringing all the holiday vibes, Pammie Palm Tree is one of our favourites from the new summer collection and the one we most wanted to slip into our bag and take home. Complete with smiley face on the base, little legs and soft, furry palm leaves, Pammie is the perfect summer companion.
Cheeky and bold, Squawkatoo is the cuddly toy of our tropical island dreams. With a furry pink body and funky crest feathers, this Jellycat is full of charm.
Whether you’re an avid football fan or just want to get into the spirit ahead of the women’s Euros this summer, this huggable Amuseables football bag charm is the perfect game day companion.
Drinking out of a coconut is synonymous with poolside relaxation or lounging on a sunny beach, and that’s why we love this Amuseables Jellycat so much. It gets us in the tropical spirit even when we’re sat in the office…
This cool dude is ready to tackle the biggest waves. With the surfboard attached round his little leg, this smiley surfer is ready to go.
Sweet and refreshing, the Amuseables Lemonade makes a great summer treat. Complete with a straw for sipping and a fresh slice of lemon, it’s your new zesty sidekick.
This cuddly sandcastle is a beach favourite and sold out very fast last summer, so don’t delay if you’re a fan of the sandy fur and coral and mint seashell detail.
Other best Jellycats to shop
He may have a grumpy face, but we can’t help but smile when we look at this fuzzy little guys. He’s always worth having on standby for whenever you need a pick me up.
With the end of the school year almost here, this boiled egg in their graduation cap would make a great end-of-term treat. Coursework done. Exams finished. Jellycat cuddles: due.
We love a (furry) rich coffee in the morning. This friendly espresso cup is here to help you start the day with a smile. The ideal buddy for your morning caffeine hit.
Timmy is us on a Monday morning. This is the big version of Timmy, hence the price; he is available in medium for £38 but currently out of stock. Apparently, Timmy isn't as grumpy as he looks and he gives good hugs. Same.
He’s pricey but for a good reason. Viggo sits at an impressive 37cm tall and boasts a big, squishy tummy that’s perfect for cuddling up to or even using as a pillow! While his long, curved fangs may make him seem scary, in reality, he’s just a super soft friend with a long, floppy trunk and flicky tail.
If you’re new to Jellycat, Bashful Bunny is the perfect place to start. This adorable bunny is a bestseller for a reason and makes a comforting teddy for both kids and adults alike.
There are 25 colours to choose from, as well as seven sizes ranging from tiny (£17) to giant (£225). Whatever you opt for though, this bunny will make a gorgeous, timeless gift.
Get two for the price of the one with these spongy marshmallows. With cord boots and blushing smiles, they're an adorable duo. They're also joined together with a pink satin ribbon, making them marshmallow mates for life.
We didn’t think sausage dogs could get any cuter… And then we saw Otto. The soft toy is only 17 centimetres in length, meaning it truly embodies the miniature (yet sassy) spirit of the breed. His dark chocolate fur, spritely tail and floppy ears will put a smile on any dog-lover's face.
