Dear clueless boyfriends:
When was the last time you got your girlfriend a Jellycat? If it’s anything short of yesterday—it’s been far too long. And if you haven’t gotten her one yet, this is your sign to change that. Stat.
You may have seen these adorable plushies across TikTok, or perhaps your girlfriend has shoved her phone in your face, pointing to ones she wants in excitement.
Either way, they’ve become iconic—akin to or even better than receiving flowers, some may say.
But why does your better half need one? Not only are they precious, but they’ll always remind her of you. On the days when you can’t be with her, she’ll have her very own substitute cuddle buddy. While some are certainly pricey, Jellycats are known for their high-quality material and loveable designs so no matter which one you get, you won’t miss.
So whether you’ve pissed her off or simply want to surprise her, why not make her day with a cute plush?
If you’re a lost boyfriend trying to navigate which Jellycat to get your girlfriend, fear not. We’ll dive into some of the beary cute options.
1. Floral Jellycat
If you’re a romantic at heart and looking to give her something more traditional, no problem. There are several floral and botanical Jellycats to choose from. Pick your girlfriend’s favourite flower—from roses, tulips to sunflowers or orchids. Unlike real flowers, she’ll be able to keep her Jellycat alongside her, for as long as your love blooms (bonus, add your cologne so that when she smells it, she’ll think of you).
2. The icons: Bartholomew Bear & Bashful Bunny
You can’t go wrong with a classic Bart or Bash stuffy. Not only are they household Jellycat names, but they’re so cuddly and soft, your girlfriend won’t be able to stop snuggling them. Bart and Bash have also since debuted in other variations like pumpkin Bart or Bash with a birthday cake, so there’s a classic for every occasion.
3. Customize your Jellycat
The Jellycat site offers personalizations which means you can make her gift even more special. You could engrave your name on a jumper or on Bash’s ear so your missus always remembers your charming gesture. For that extra personal touch, you can engrave your anniversary date so she can carry the day you fell in love, wherever she goes.
4. Get a Jellycat that reminds you of her
Hop on the site yourself and browse through the different collections of Jellycats to find one that feels right. Whether that is Dorit Duckling, Timmy the Turtle, or Albee Bee, all Jellycats are beautiful in their own ways. Scour for that one unique stuffy that embodies your girl, so she can finally see herself the way you see her (be nice).
5. For the foodies
If your girlfriend often gets the munchies, a food or snack Jellycat may be perfect for her. Thankfully there are plenty of Jellycats to choose from to satiate your girlfriend’s hunger. Consider a savoury option, like a burger or ramen. Has she got a sweet tooth? We’ve got you covered, cinnamon buns or pancakes will do the trick. Having this handy pal around could also finally help her figure out what she wants to eat, next time you ask her.
6. Matching bag charms
Surprise! Jellycats also come in the form of bag charms. No matter the size, your girlfriend will adore having her cozy companion with her on the go. Step it up as a power couple by joining her. You could do a sports theme if that’s your vibe, weather theme, or keep it simple with a fuzzy friend. Now you can both look stylish, knowing you’re with each other even while out and about.
dear hopefully-not-so-clueless boyfriends:
The clock is ticking.
I hope the roadmap of the Jellycat world has been made clearer and I trust you will make the right decision by getting your girlfriend a Jellycat that she will absolutely cherish.
Though as I bid you farewell, I’d like to give you a word of warning—once you get her one Jellycat, it won’t be the last.
May your Jellycat family grow and thrive ♥︎
