So when Liv's mum spotted a humungous yellow bunny Jellycat in her local charity shop, she immediately messaged her daughter - who's a massive fan of the adorable toys.
And despite the fact that the giant rabbit was marked up at £80, Liv decided to ask her mum to buy him, to either add to her already bursting collection, or to resell for a profit as part of her mission to turn £15 into £500.
"I was working from home and my mum FaceTimed me and said there's a couple of Jellycats in the charity shop," Liv explained in a video on her TikTok page.
"I did not expect it to be this one. He is absolutely huge!"
After researching the lemon Bashful Bunny, she discovered that he's "super rare"
"All that I know is that the lemon Bashful Bunnies are discontinued and I can't find any of his size on eBay or Vinted or anything!" she added.
"I'm currently sat here cuddling him and I'm really tempted to keep him," Liv added.
"But if I was to sell him how much do you think I should list him for and what is he worth?"
The comments section was almost immediately filled with people offering their suggestions, with one writing: "I personally think over £200 as a medium one sold on eBay for £105!"
"Wow okay good to know! I'll try not get attached to him!" Liv replied.
The five signs that your Jellycat is FAKE - and the things to look out for to authenticate a real one
"How much did you pay for him?" another asked.
With Liv responding: "£80 which is a lot but he's rare and retired!"
"I remember one selling for over £250 a few years ago," a third wrote.
"I just missed out of bidding so start high in auction I say!"
"He's very rare, he was a John Lewis exclusive for Easter," someone else said.
"Not sure what year."
Why are Jellycats so popular?
THEY were made for kids, but Jellycat toys remain incredibly popular with adults too. So just what is the appeal?
The London-based company 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.
"I'm so jealous!!! I love him! He's amazing!! If you sell please let me know!!" another gushed.
"He's amazing! Yeah I will do," someone else said.

A TikTok star whose sudden passing shocked the internet nearly three months ago died by suicide, it has emerged. Joshua Blackledge, 16, died on March 18 at his home in Newport, North Carolina after suffering a gun shot wound to the head, documents obtained by US Weekly revealed. A family member found his body next to a teddy bear, paper note and a picture. Blackledge had 'exhibited behavioral changes' socially and academically in the year leading up to his tragic death, his family claimed, according to the documents. No drug paraphernalia was present at the scene. Blackledge was a junior at West Carteret high school and had over 1million followers on TikTok. His last post came on March 14 and saw him hanging out with his friend in a white pickup truck. He often posted videos that saw him lip-syncing or hanging out with friends as well as his girlfriend Emmie Gillikin. The pair celebrated their eight month anniversary just days before his death. Gillikin paid tribute to Blackledge with a heartbreaking social media posts two days after the tragedy. 'Missing this sweet boy right now. never would've thought i would have been here without you,' Gillikin wrote on social media on March 20. 'Josh showed me what love really was even [though] im very young. he never failed to put a smile on my face no matter how mad i was at him ... Even after these past couple days nothing seems real and im feeling all the emotions.' She also dismissed rumors surrounding Blackledge's death in a TikTok Post.

The social media star is survived by his parents Jonathan and Jackie Blackledge and his brother Josiah. 'Joshua will be remembered by those who knew him for his enthusiasm and love for life,' read an obituary for the teen posted by Noe-Brooks Funeral Home.

Sabrina Carpenter slammed by domestic violence charity as she defends sexy image
Sabrina Carpenter is facing intense backlash following her latest album cover, with a domestic leading domestic violence charity accusing her of 'reducing women to pets' The backlash of Sabrina Carpenter's latest raunchy look for her album cover has continued with the singer being slammed by a leading domestic violence charity. She has been accused of "reducing women to pets" in the latest outburst, but continues to defend her actions. As the former Disney star, 26, announced her 12-song record called Man's Best Friend earlier this week, she accompanied it with an image of a faceless man. In the upload he is seen pulling the star's hair as she posed on all fours. The picture has caused outrage online, with Glasgow Women's Aid the latest to vent their frustration. In a statement, the organisation said: "Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover isn't edgy, it's regressive. "Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it 'Man's Best Friend' isn't subversion. It's a throwback to tired tropes that reduce women to pets, props, and possessions and promote an element of violence and control. We've fought too hard for this." It went on: "We get Sabrina's brand is packaged up retro glam but we really don't need to go back to the tired stereotypes of women. Sabrina is pandering to the male gaze and promoting misogynistic stereotypes, which is ironic given the majority of her fans are young women!" It ended by urging: "Come on Sabrina! You can do better!" And they were far from the only ones pleaded with the star. Many fans took to TikTok to vent about the "uncomfortable" nature, with one user receiving over 51,000 likes after saying: "I just don't think this is a good image that we should be preaching." In agreement, another user said: "FINALLY people are talking about this. Her rebrand hyper-sexualising herself for the male gaze is setting us so far back." However, others failed to see the issue. And Sabrina backed up offering and denied any wrongdoing in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. The cover star of the latest magazine said: "It's always so funny to me when people complain. They're like, 'All she does is sing about this'. "But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it." The latest furore comes as the star is widely known to have a sarcastic sense of humour and sexual innuendos. Recently, during her X-rated 2025 BRIT Awards performance, the star's actions also divided viewers. Over 800 people complained to Ofcom following the show as the pop star kicked off the annual music award ceremony with a rendition of her hits Espresso and Bed Chem. She wore red lacy outfit as her and her dancers performed to the innuendo laden song that was broadcast on ITV well before the 9pm watershed.

I bought a tiny house for £68K – I have to crawl around my bedroom but it's totally worth it & I have so much space
A YOUNG woman decided to buy a tiny home to get herself on the property ladder quickly. Bresha Jeanea took to social media to show off her new tiny home but it seemed there was one flaw people couldn't get past. 4 4 4 The woman who lives in Houston, Texas, had purchased the tiny house for £68,000 and it came to her on the back of a lorry already built. The stunning home was kitted with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and a loft. But instead of using her bedroom to sleep in, Bresha decided that the loft would make more sense. The only issue is that the loft is only 3 ft 6 inches high - meaning she was unable to stand up in her bedroom. This had left millions of people on social media to ask why she even put her bed there in the first place. Bresha finally revealed why in a recent video posted to her TikTok account @ breshajeanae. She said: "I live in a tiny home and I get hundreds of questions from people asking me why I chose to make the upstairs loft area my bedroom. "For context, this is how big the bedroom is downstairs. It's very small, the bedroom is only 8 foot by 5 foot." Bresha went on to say that her queen-sized bed would barely fit inside the room, let alone her bedside table and other belongings. She then took people upstairs to the loft which she had turned into her bedroom. 4 Amazon is selling an 'insulated' tiny home for just $9,350 – it comes with 2 bedrooms and an 'enclosed' hall "Guys, this is the room upstairs. The loft area. And yes, it's not tall at all. It's only 3 foot and a couple inches tall," she explained. "But it's so big. There's so much room. As you can see, I have my queen size bed, two side tables, a dresser." She even had room for a small seating area to be put in. The loft would have been used to store Bresha's clothes and dressing table so she could get ready in the morning, But she decided to switch the spaces around so her bedroom was now her wardrobe as it made more sense to store clothes where she could actually stand up and get ready. She continued: "It just made more sense to me to have the downstairs room be my getting ready room where my vanity is and my clothes. The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick. TikTok user "Rather than trying to get ready upstairs because I can't fully stand up. So I would have to take my clothes, bring them downstairs to the bathroom and put them on." The clip went viral on her account @breshajeanae and people were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts. One person wrote: "Love the logic, makes sense to me. Who's standing in their bed anyways?" Tiny Homes FAQs The tiny house movement began in the USA before gaining popularity in the UK. What is a tiny home? Tiny houses are small, fully-equipped living spaces designed to lead a more sustainable, off-grid lifestyle. Although they vary in size and shape, tiny homes tend to be between 15 and 50 square metres in capacity, made of sustainable materials and are easier — and cheaper — to maintain than traditional brick homes. Are tiny homes legal in the UK? As long as the tiny house doesn't exceed 19.8m x 6.7m in size, it is defined as a caravan in UK law. Therefore, tiny houses are classed as legal additional living space. Can you get a mortgage for a tiny home? The small size and relatively low cost of tiny houses means they're not generally considered eligible for a mortgage. However, there are plenty of options to take out a loan to fund your dreams of the perfect, moveable home. Another commented: 'I could not do this I'm so claustrophobic." "I 100% support this. You're sleeping or sitting up there, you're not doing cardio up there, people need to relax," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "I know it's not my house but my brain likes the loft space being the room. Love the living room area and then the windows either side. I'd love waking up to sunlight in the morning seems far less claustrophobic too." "The idea of the bed space having such a small ceiling makes me sick but I'm glad it works for you I see the appeal,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'It looks so nice, I just get claustrophobic being close to the roof."
