Jellycat soft toys have become a sensation, charming both adults and children alike, with some fans even willing to spend hundreds of pounds on the adorable plushies. However, Home Bargains has unveiled its latest collection of teddies that bear an uncanny resemblance to the real deal, offering incredibly cute Easter-themed Jellycat lookalikes for just £1.99.
Jellycat, which has been around since 1999, is known for its animal-themed plushies suitable for all ages. In recent years, the company has expanded its range to include plushies of almost anything imaginable, from fruits and vegetables to plants and sports gear. Their popular Happy Boiled Egg plushie retails at £18, while the Croissant is priced at £20 and the Carrot goes for £35.
Savvy shoppers have spotted Home Bargains' alternative and are flocking to snap them up. Just in time for Easter, the discount homeware store has launched its own egg, carrot and hot cross bun plushies, complete with adorable smiley faces and little legs, much like their Jellycat counterparts. The range is priced at a mere £1.99 for the 20cm plushies.
Home Bargains has also introduced bunny plushes, which bear a striking resemblance to the classic Jellycat teddies. A Bashful Bunny from Jellycat starts at £18, but Home Bargains offers grey and white bunnies starting from just £3.99. The budget-friendly store also has an Easter-inspired teddy clutching a carrot for a mere £2.49.
Devotees of the adorable soft toys have already clocked the budget-friendly option, with one TikTok user gushing: 'They are so cute.' Another exclaimed: 'I need these!' A third chimed in: 'OMG, need!' Jellycat boasts a roster of high-profile admirers, including Princess Charlotte, who has been photographed clutching her beloved Fuddlewuddle dog.
