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.
