Meet Jellycat, The Cuddliest Toy Around

What Makes Jellycat Toys Special

Founded in London in 1999, Jellycat has captured the hearts of children worldwide with their irresistibly softness combined with the personality that radiates from each character. From the gentle expression of their signature bunnies to the cheeky charm of an Amuseable Avocado, or the wise look in a Fuddlewuddle Elephant’s eyes, these toys are irresistible.

The attention to detail is remarkable with the different fur textures, the careful feature placement and perfect weight distribution, every aspect has been thoughtfully designed. Jellycat’s Amuseables turn everyday objects into loveable friends and cuddle companions.

Aside from their obvious appeal, quality soft toys can play an important role in child development benefits, providing emotional support and helping little ones develop empathy, nurturing skills, and emotional regulation through imaginative play.

Safe and Durable for Little Ones

Safety remains at the heart of every Jellycat design. Each Jellycat soft toy undergoes rigorous testing to meet British, European, and international toy safety standards, including EN71, ASTM, and ISO regulations. You’ll find CE and UKCA marks on every product, giving you  complete peace of mind that your chosen toy is perfectly safe.

The durability is impressive too. We regularly see customers returning years later to add to their collection, not because their original needs replacing, but because these quality toys truly become treasured keepsakes that last through childhood and beyond. We always recommend checking individual labels for age-specific guidance.

Why Elphicks Is the Top Jellycat Stockist in Surrey

Extensive In-Store Range

Our toy department feels like stepping into a Jellycat wonderland. We stock an extensive selection compared to what you might find elsewhere, including all the beloved classics, and our soft toys department is a destination in itself.

We also stay current with Jellycat’s latest releases and seasonal collections. Throughout the year, new characters arrive reflecting changing seasons and special occasions. This means every visit offers potential for discovery, perfect autumnal hedgehogs, festive reindeer, or bright spring characters.

Our buying team works closely with Jellycat to make sure we’re among the first to receive limited edition pieces and exclusive designs that you won’t find in larger chain stores.

Hands-On Experience for Parents and Children

There’s no substitute for the hands-on experience we offer at Elphicks. Online photographs simply cannot convey the true softness of Jellycat’s premium fabrics or the satisfying weight of a well-made toy. Here, families can take their time exploring, feeling different textures, and letting children make that important emotional connection with their chosen companion.

We often see children who arrive unsure about what they want, but within minutes they’ve found their perfect match. There’s something magical about watching a child reach out to touch a Jelly cat toy for the first time and instinctively know which character speaks to them.

Expert Advice and Gift Wrapping

Our team has developed considerable expertise in understanding different Jellycat ranges. We know which toys work best for different ages, which characters become the most beloved bedtime companions, and which designs are perfect for imaginative play versus quiet comfort.

Whether you’re choosing a first toy for a newborn, a comfort companion for a nursery starter, or a special gift for an older child, we’re here to guide you towards the perfect choice. Our complimentary gift wrapping service adds that extra special touch, making Elphicks the ideal one-stop shop for thoughtful presents.

Jellycat soft toys work beautifully for any occasion, newborn gifts, first birthdays, comfort toys for nursery starters, or spontaneous treats.

Seasonal collections add excitement throughout the year. Spring brings baby animals perfect for Easter, summer sees beach-themed characters, autumn welcomes cosy harvest friends, and winter brings magical festive characters for stockings.
