LABUBU fever may have taken over for a while, but Jellycat toys remain a firm favourite with people across the country.
Some fans are willing to spend hundreds on their favourite smiley faced plushie.

But if your purse is feeling a little tight in the lead up to Christmas, Home Bargains has got you covered with adorable dupes for just £2.50.
And the much-loved retail giant’s plushies makes the perfect stocking filler.
London-based company Jellycat started making toys in 1999, and enjoyed success from the outset thanks to the fabrics used to make their plushies suitable for children of all ages.
In recent years, they have branched out from making toys of various animals into turning virtually anything you can think of into a Jellycat.
Their vegetable offerings, which range from broccoli to avocado, can help kids eat their greens.
And even their April Fools – a toilet paper toy – was a hit with fans.
Jellycat also has numerous celebrity fans, including Princess Charlotte, with a picture released in 2015 showing the royal with her Fuddlewuddle dog.
The hefty price tag of the toys also promote the idea of luxury, and the value of the toys increases over time – meaning they are often a worthwhile investment.
Jellycat releases two new collections a year – in January and in the summer, in either June or July.
Meanwhile, Tesco’s shoppers went wild for a similar plush toy that was £20 cheaper than the original.
The soft toys were launched in stores as part of a gifting range ahead of February 14.
They come at £4 each – a fraction of the price of the Jellycat originals, which can go up to £55.
Numerous different characters are available.
These include a French Fancy character saying “I fancy you’, a Strawberry with “You’re berry sweet” and a Sandwich with “You’re my jam”.
Shoppers have flocked to TikTok to praise the cute plushies.
Elsewhere, shoppers are going wild for an “amazing” perfume dupe that smells just like Le Labo.
So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever and you can’t afford to break the bank on high-end scents, fear not, you’ve come to the right place and will need to check this out.
One bargain hunter was left overjoyed when she recently spotted a dupe perfume in her local Home Bargains store in County Durham and according to her, it “smells like pure luxury.”
Eager to alert others to the purse-friendly scent, which is a whopping £166.01 less than an iconic designer buy, the content creator took to social media to give shoppers a close-up look at her new purchase.
