The Perfect Gifts for Kids and Adults Alike: Jellycat Cuddly Toys

Jellycat cuddly toys are a popular gift for children and adults alike. This post covers why they make great gifts, how to use them safely with babies, and some of our favourites.

Why Jellycat Toys Make Great Gifts

They are very soft and huggable, with playful designs from Bashful Bunnies to Amuseables, so there is a Jellycat for every taste. They're made to last, which makes them a gift that's kept for years, and they suit babies, children and adults.

Can babies and toddlers sleep with a Jellycat?

Follow safe-sleep guidance: the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping soft toys and other soft objects out of a baby's sleep area for at least the first 12 months. After that, check the product label for any age guidance and keep an eye on young children at sleep time. During the day, many Jellycat designs are marked suitable from birth for supervised play.

Why are Jellycats more expensive than other soft toys?

Jellycat toys use very soft fabrics, detailed designs and are tested against toy safety standards, which shows in the price and in how long they last.

What age is appropriate for cuddly toys?

For play, check each toy's age label: many Jellycats are marked suitable from birth. For sleep, keep soft toys out of the cot for at least the first year, as above.
