Jellycat Smudge Fox Review

Saturday, April 6th, 2024

Hi everyone!

I’m so happy because my Smudge Fox arrived!

I ordered him on the event day on Tuesday 2nd April and I couldn’t believe that he arrived the very next day!

It’s taken me a couple of days to be able to post a review, but here he is!

The pictures here don’t do him justice as in real life he is more of a rusty, red-orange colour. He appears a lot brighter in reality, but he is sooo soft and cute!

He sits well upright and can be positioned laying down too in the classic Smudge way.

Another super adorable thing about him is that his tail is slightly curved. This means that when you sit him upright, you can curl it around his feet!

He is the perfect cuddling size and so lovely and floppy. I love all the multiple ways you can position him, including the classic “resting your head on your paws” position.

His hang tag, like all new Jellycat tags, is attached with a cotton thread to be more environmentally friendly.

His style number code is SMG2F and his tag reads:

I am
Medium
Smudge Fox

Please look after me.

The only minor (totally fixable) criticism I have about him is that he needs a little trim around his eyes and nose as they tend to get hidden behind his fur. This is easy to do with a pair of nail scissors, so I will be giving him a little trim in due course.

My thoughts…

I wasn’t going to buy Smudge Fox at first, but I’m so glad I did. He is not only better than I thought he would be, he is so floppy and adorable that I couldn’t possibly NOT fall in love with him!

I will be however, giving his eyes a trim so he can “see” a little better.

Do you have Smudge Fox in your collection? What do you think of him? Leave a comment below!

Jellycat Review: Forest Fauna Frog

Wednesday, March 20th, 2024

Hi everyone!

I received this little guy in the post yesterday and I just HAD to show him to you!

Meet Forest Fauna Frog!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewI must admit, even though Forest Fauna Frog has been on my wish list for a while, I wasn’t particularly sold on him at first.

His face wasn’t quite how I expected it to be from the stock images, his house was a little out of shape when it arrived (not the seller’s fault, he was squashed through the letterbox!) and now I have detached him from his toadstool home, it has a tendency to fall over when he isn’t sat inside!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog Review Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewHowever, he has somehow managed to find a special place in my heart. I think that’s the thing with Jellycats. Sometimes I fall in love with them straight away, sometimes it just takes a little time to “get to know them”!

He has been sat on my living room table since he arrived, smiling away to me and I’ve now warmed up to the little guy!

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog ReviewForest Fauna Frog arrived attached by a cotton thread through his hang tag to a loop inside the bottom of his house.

On the top of his hang tag is the Jellycat style number (FORF2F) and the message below reads:

I am
Forest Fauna Frog

Please look after me.

Jellycat Forest Fauna Frog Hang TagThe little frog is very small, which is actually just what I wanted as I love the tiny Jellycats.

I intend to use this little guy as a “pocket Jellycat” to be able to fit in my handbag while out and about.

He measures 10cm tall to the top of his little eyes and 8cm from toe to toe on his tiny webbed feet.

Although it took a little more time than usual to fall for this little guy, Forest Fauna Frog has really grown on me!

His little smile brightens my day while working, and I love his little (if a little wonky) toadstool home!

My only advice would be to try and see this little guy in the flesh first and check on the quality of his house to make sure it stands up.

The only other thing i’m not certain of is whether to unpick the stitched of his hands so they aren’t attached to his body anymore. I’ve seen someone do this on Reddit and thought it improved his look a little, but I’m a little nervous to try this myself! If anyone has done this before, please give me some advice as I don’t want to ruin him!

Sandy Snail – A Review of the Adorable Yellow Gastropod

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023

Hi everyone!

I was really excited to get this little cutie! Well, technically she is at my parent’s house until I return to the UK from Bulgaria but my Dad sent some pictures so I could see her before I come home (thank you Dad!).

Here she is….Sandy Snail!

Jellycat Sandy Snail

She kind of reminds me of the Wriggidig range and looks like she’d make the perfect companion to Wriggidig Ant or Wriggidig Caterpillar (two that are on my wish list!)

I have been informed that she is incredibly soft and very cute (apparently my Mum has taken a shine to her – sorry Mum, she’s mine!).

Jellycat Sandy Snail Side View

Her swirly beige shell is just too cute and goes really well with her mustard yellow body. Her little yellow antennae make an adorable little touch.

Her hang tag can be seen below and reads:

I am
Sandy Snail

Please look after me.

My thoughts…

Although I don’t have Sandy Snail in my hands JUST yet until I get home, I can’t wait to see this adorable little gastropod.

She isn’t that big, making her a good size to carry in your bag. Not quite pocket-sized, but small enough to be a travel companion.

Do you have Sandy Snail? What are your thoughts on her? Leave a comment below!
