A woman obsessed with buying stuffed toys from the viral brand Jellycats has revealed she has spent over £4,000 on her collection - even resorting to selling her clothes online to fund the habit. Megan Goldberger, 27, from Cardiff, Wales, became obsessed with the plush toys after seeing influencers showing off their own collections on TikTok.

She bought her first Jellycat - an aubergine called Vivacious - in February 2024 and has now amassed a collection of 150 stuffed toys. 'I've always loved teddy bears,' Megan said. 'My Jellycats heal my inner child.'. Despite acknowledging that Jellycats are 'designed for new-born babies', the 27-year-old's favourite toys include a brown bunny called Miss Pecan, an ice cream called Mr Whippy and a dragon called Flynn - who recently helped her conquer her fear of flying.

With Flynn in hand, Megan, who has ADHD and anxiety, was able to get on an airplane for the first time in 18 months. 'If was as if a person was there with me,' she said. Megan also spends hours hunting down discontinued Jellycats online such as finding an old edition bunny on eBay and spending £400 on the toy which would have previously retailed at £15.99.
