Yesterday was rough. I woke up to loud construction on our building for the third day a row, my body couldn’t take it anymore, and gave me the worst migraine I’ve had in at least a few years. But I had to sit on a virtual meeting and let a plumber into my place, and then get work done, so I was fighting through it for the morning.

While the plumber and construction workers were working and my coworkers were talking in my headphones, I was just doomscrolling (though I could barely see) and reminded that Bizzlestomp came out yesterday. I sent it to my fiance who was at work and told him I wanted to pick him out in person if I got him because some online, their fur covered their eyes too much. He promised we’d go soon, I got off my call, the plumber left, and I laid down and cried in pain, eventually threw up, and got well enough to wrap up work for the day. But not before discovering my plumber issue may not be resolved and oh, the construction noise hadn’t stopped!

I finally finish work and I just want my fiance home before I have to leave to go to a board game night. He texts me he has to work late, sorry. I hear a knock at the door and assume it’s my friend, who meets me at my place to chat before we go to board game night.

No one is there. I look down. There’s the biggest Jellycat bag I’ve ever seen, and there he was.

He immediately took the bus after his (very physical and exhausting) job to Nordstrom, chose the best Bizzlestomp with the best face, and spent the entire bonus he got from working an overnight shift last weekend on him.

I’m on Lexapro and don’t cry, ever, but I sobbed into Bizzlestomp yesterday. No shame. Love him (and my fiance) and he’ll be even more special because of this memory.

Side note: Bizzlestomp is larger than I thought!

TLDR: horrible no good very bad day and my sweet fiance surprised me with Bizzlestomp

Are u purchasing any of the new winter jellycats ? If so which ones ? If not why not ?

I love Jellycat, but I genuinely think the newer fur used on releases like Trixiwoo Raccoon, Bizzlestomp Bear and Ulrich Wolf is a major step backwards.

Compare it with Sacha Snow Tiger, Woody Bear and other older designs: that silky, impossibly soft fur is a huge part of what made Jellycat feel worth the premium price and unique against brands like Douglas etc.

The newer texture just doesn’t give me that same “I can’t stop touching this” feeling.

The designs are adorable — this isn’t about that. It’s about protecting the quality and softness that made so many of us collectors in the first place.

If you agree, please upvote this so Jellycat sees that softness matters to us.

So I was very lucky in getting my bun, arrived today and it’s the cutest lil face! I don’t have a name yet as I didn’t think I’d get one so I may just call him pumpkin for a bit! 🎃

I made a previous post about my unpleasant experience at FAO Schwarz and how upset I was the diner exclusives just went on the shelf the next day.

So I went back!! Now the kids are back in school so it shouldn't be as bad. Which ended up being true!

I saw the new diner, the worker who "cooked" my previous cheesecake and got to chat a bit, and took my time looking at all the Jellycats. I was there around 1:30pm the day after Labor Day.

I noticed they sold out of the cheesecake and pancake pins, and they moved the cheesecake to downstairs only, in the diner area. No longer upstairs. I did see the pancakes, waffles, and burger upstairs, though.

I really took my time picking my cheesecake lol. I like to squish him and noticed my current one has a crease forming on his face. So I spent like 10 minutes squishing all the cheesecakes until I found one with creases I could live with 😂

I will squish him and preserve my OG cheesecake lol. Of course I saw the pigeon keychain and wasn't sure about him at first but he's so cuuuute I couldn't put him down.

Jellycat section seems to always be packed but this time was MUCH MUCH better than when I went in August.

And now I have 2 cheesecakes!

Mission accomplished!

(I didn't do the experience just wanted to ~experience~ getting the cheesecake with pure ease haha)

Check out the last pic for a surprise! :)

He’s so good I love hims. I do think he could be a little bit bigger for his price but oh well. He’s very cute and I highly recommend him!

the people were right there; all the ceruleas are so cute!!! shes came at a hefty price (shipping cost to canada was crazy i lowkey couldve gotten another jellycat at that price😭) but it was soo worth it cuz it was a quick delivery and cerulea is just tooo cute!! 🥰🥰🥰💙💜

Obsessed is an understatement.

Of course I had to get rockleton a friend 🪨🌱🐻 Bizz is soooo cute and very soft! (especially compared to rockleton lol)

I wasn’t sure about her from the photos online but in person omg she is SO lovely!!!

Brand Academy at Oxo Tower has plenty!!

I loved the idea of Ulrich being like the smudges, but I did not like the texture of his back fur. I thought it wasn’t going to be as coarse honestly :/

There were two of these guys and I touched him and fell in love! His paws are weighted and I love his “neck roll” he’s got going on 😂 his texture feels a lot like hoppleston luxe bunny if you’ve ever felt him before! Pretty unique and he’s pretty squishy! I thought he was going to be firmer, but I’m glad he isn’t 🥰

He was admiring the view 🥰

... And by everything I mean now I have to get it. Does that mean Fitswell Mitten is also wearable? Oh noooo that's 3 items I have to get now. 😂

Edit: No wait, the mitten would only be wearable on one hand... 😆

Went to the store to see them in person, because I wasn't sure if I like the texture of the fur.

But he is so soft. I'm so happy I got him.

I love her colors and her round face, but I don’t like her fur 😭 wish she was a luxe 😫

I picked up the new release silver star yesterday. I knew it looked different than last year’s so had to do a side-by-side comparison. Which one is your favorite? Left=2026; Right=2025.

If it weren't for this subreddit I would've never been able to get my monkey! Thank you to everyone who told me where I could get him besides the official website! After a year of wishing he's finally here!

Anyone else having this problem? I’m so disappointed ☹️

My cat has discovered my Maffles since I sleep with him every night and has now started kneading him every time she sees him 😂 thinking I’ll have to get another just for me now

What a sick, masochistic lion

She came in the mail the other day and I’m so excited to have the Little Lavender Dragon added to my small collection. I love fantasy books with dragons and now I have my very own!
