Gifting & Add-ons
How do I choose a gift for a newborn or baby?
When choosing a gift for a newborn or baby, start with the product’s age guidance and look for items suitable for 0+ where applicable. Softness, safe design, and easy-care practicality are usually the most important factors for early-age gifting.
What makes a good first birthday gift?
A good first birthday gift is usually something soft, memorable, and easy for families to enjoy beyond the day itself. Many customers choose plush toys, keepsake-style gifts, or character-led designs that feel both playful and gift-worthy. For a more personal direction, use our first birthday gift guide.
What is the difference between soft toys and plush toys?
“Soft toys” is a broader everyday term, while “plush toys” usually refers more specifically to toys made with a plush, soft-touch fabric finish. On our site, we preserve that distinction where it is relevant on product pages.
What should I check before buying a toy as a gift?
Before buying, it is best to check the age guidance, product size, care details, and delivery timing for your country. This helps you choose a gift that is suitable, practical, and likely to arrive when you need it.
Do you offer gift wrapping or cards?
Yes — add a Handwritten Card (€0.99) with your personal message in your bag before checkout.
What is Priority Fulfillment?
€1.49 moves your order to the front of our processing queue. Courier speed is unchanged.
What is Photo Confirmation Before Dispatch?
For €0.99, our staff sends a photo of the prepared parcel to the recipient before dispatch. This is a confirmation service, not an approval step, and it does not delay shipment.
What is Hand-select the Sweetest Expression?
For €0.99, our staff chooses the most appealing available face for eligible plush toys in your order. The option appears in your bag only when a suitable product qualifies. It is a careful best-available selection, not a guarantee of a specific appearance.
What is Create Their Unboxing Order?
For €1.99, carts containing three or more physical items can request the order in which the gifts are discovered. Select the service in your bag and write which item should appear first, second, third and beyond. Our staff follows those instructions when arranging the parcel.
