From soft toy characters to blankies with bunnies attached, there's a Jellycat character to please everyone. For cheerful decor you could choose the Amuseables Sun, or how about the cutest Bartholomew Bear swinging from a shooting star; for sports fans there's a cuddly football; or for dino enthusiasts you can fall in love with Fossilly the Stegosaurus. The bunnies and teddies have been favourites for 25 years, while each year there are new fabulous characters to enjoy - from Capybaras to Cheese, from Elephants to Asparagus, and from Dragons to Porridge.
