Baby toys available in the UK

I'm buying presents for a UK baby but would prefer not to risk buying double. Are Oli&Carol vegetables or Sophie la Giraffe very common in the UK? My baby loves them and all the babies here have one or both, but my UK parents didn't know about either. If they're very common, I'll just send clothes.

Sophies were all the rage a few years ago. Don't know whether they are as popular now but I'd probably avoid. Never heard of the vegetables. Can you buy them and get a gift receipt?

Sophie la Giraffe teething toys are very popular but i've not heard of the vegetables.

The vegetables are hilarious but rather over priced so perfect for a gift. You get babies doing what's up doc with rubber carrots or nibbling lettuce like a guinea pig. On that basis a carrot sounds better than a giraffe. Plus I keep standing on our giraffe at night and giving myself a heart attack! https://oliandcarol.com/?srsltid=AfmBOopfkjoOQtpeFyOiB7Lz272aXOjBT799KtPcP4oaFggfdKIAwh0-

I have a baby, we have a Sophie but I haven't heard of the vegetables!

The Oli & Carol toys are lovely! Never seen anyone with one at work, but they are very expensive!

It might be a brexit import tax thing. They're not much more than a Sophie here in Europe, so a bit more common. I've just realised it's a Spanish company and the baby is Spanish so there's a good chance it will end up with a whole green grocers, but that's maybe more fun than a herd of Sophies!
