So, if your customers are looking for super soft toys and room décor inspiration for them and their baby to enjoy endless hours of playtime together – whatever their little one’s age – then read on...

From birth:

Is your customer expecting a little bundle of joy sometime soon? Or perhaps they’ve just welcomed a new-born into their family? We’ve no doubt your customer’s new addition is the apple of their eye, and so while they’re all wrapped up in that new parent glow (or perhaps that’s just the side-effects of nappy changes and sleepless nights!), we’ve got some whimsical and wondrous soft toys and plushes to help make playtime even more magical for them and their baby.

Take a look at this My Princess Castle Play Set. It’s full of cute activity toys that are sure to delight little princesses and contains a castle, a princess doll with crinkly fabric, a horse that makes magical sounds, an enchanted mirror and a star wand with a squeaker. Exclusively from GUND, this play set is sure to make playtime a huggable experience, with each item made from super soft fabric. Coupled with the interactive features of different textures and noises, through sensory play, the My Princess Castle Play Set helps with baby’s development too.

With a SRP of £24.00, your customer gets a lot of bang for their buck – five enchanting items that are all CE marked, so they can be sure their little one is safe and secure during playtime. Plus, all of the items are surface washable and can be easily wiped down when inevitable milk-sick or nappy mishaps occur!

Then what about this oh-so-sweet Luna Keywind Soft Toy? A big hit in the Baby GUND collection (and it’s not hard to see why), the lovely Luna is here to help your customer’s little ones drift off into a peaceful sleep after a busy day of snuggles and smiles. Not only a super-soft toy, you can also wind the key on Luna’s back to hear her play the classic lullaby ‘Hush Little Baby’.

Featuring blush pink colours with slight purple undertones, with rose gold metallic hints running throughout her sumptuously soft fabric, the Luna Keywind Soft Toy is perfect for newborns as well as being a super-stylish addition to any nursey or play room.

With a SRP of £27.00, Luna makes a great gift for friends and family looking to buy a present to welcome the new little bundle of joy into the world. Like the My Princess Castle Playset, Luna is CE marked and surface washable, so those sticky little fingers shouldn’t be a problem!

Bigger babies:

Not a new-born anymore, your customer’s little one is growing up fast! Now they can roll onto their tummies, sit up unaided and are full of smiles and giggles. This stage in their baby’s life truly is magical, and so they’re going to want something equally as special to help make playtime even more memorable! So why not enlist the help of everyone’s favourite Pomeranian pooch – Boo – as you’ve never seen him before?

As part of the Fairytale Dreams collection, Itty Bitty Boo Unicorn features the cute pooch wearing a pink fluffy jacket. With the hood of his coat pulled over his head, the outfit transforms him into a unicorn, with a silver holographic horn standing proudly between his ears, and a fluffy mane of rainbow colours cascading down his spine.

Itty Bitty Boo Prince is every inch the fairytale hero too. With a light blue cape draped around his shoulders, trimmed with a luxurious white fur and tied at his neck in a bow with a blue ribbon, a silver sparkling crown sits proudly on Boo’s head giving this cute and quirky character a very regal feel.
And for every prince, there must be a princess. Itty Bitty Boo Princess shows the little dog wearing a tall cone-shaped head-piece in a metallic blue shade, topped off with a pretty pink ribbon. Boo’s dress sits gently around his waist in a subtly shimmering fabric, completing his fairy tale look.

All of the Itty Bitty Boo items in the Fairytale Dreams collection have a SRP of £13.00 each. At this price point, they won’t break the bank, and so your customer can afford to build their little one’s collection of their favourite playtime pal to enjoy over the years to come. CE marked and hand washable too, Itty Bitty Boo is suitable for children aged one year and over, and because they’re from GUND, they’re sure to give hugs that last a lifetime.
