How It All Began

Jellycat was born in London in 1999, founded by Thomas Gatacre. The name? Inspired by a child’s random but brilliant idea of combining two things they loved—jelly and cats!

Ten toys that have increased thousands of percent from launch

Most of us remember having a favourite toy as a child that might of been a bear or doll, or action figure to a transformer. I wish I had treated some of my toys better and kept them or persuaded my parents to keep a few more.

Many stores instead prefer to mention a few trending toys and popular products, so that they can hedge their bets and aim to keep online stock levels good for all.
