JELLYCAT toys have soared in popularity in recent years - and if you’ve got some you could be sitting on a goldmine. The soft toys are often produced in limited quantities, meaning they go up in value due to their rarity. Peter Jenkinson, a toys and games expert who goes by the pro name of the ‘toyologist’, said: “Jellycat have been around for a quarter of a century but it’s only recently they've really started to achieve cult status.

“Maintaining a premium price, they appeal to gift-givers looking to give something a little special but also to those looking to collect and keep them in the hope of creating some extra cash. “It is, of course, the ones that are no longer being produced that fetch the biggest sums.”.

Jellycat toys are so popular that they have had over a billion views on TikTok. The company ‘retires’ many of their products every year, making them highly sought after – second hand, they can go for prices far higher than their original cost, though, as Peter said: “It's always best to keep on the tag if you want to maintain any value.”.

It is the exclusive ranges that command the highest prices. Peter said: “Take the Bashful Kara Bunny, a limited release in 2012 that has since become one of the hardest to find. “This has taken the floppy-eared cutey to values of £500 and above.”.
