Bloody jellycat teabag

AIBU to be completely done with the Jellycat teabag madness? Honestly, who knew a small stuffed teabag could cause such chaos. The minute they come out, they’re gone – poof – straight into the hands of people who don’t even like them, just want to flog them on Vinted for triple the price.

I wouldn’t even care normally, but my daughter has been utterly brainwashed by this Jellycat cult and now apparently her collection will be incomplete without a pretend teabag. Meanwhile, I’m sat ringing around and scanning social media like a mug while Janice from Kent is selling 5 of them for 65 quid a pop.

And don’t even get me started on the Aldi wooden toys. Blink and you’ve missed them – unless, of course, you want to buy them off someone online who’s decided they’re now luxury limited editions.

Can we not just let kids have toys without turning it into a side hustle? It’s a cuddly teabag, not gold bullion.

Does anyone know if the Jellycat website is likely to have a restock before Christmas?
I’m after the teabag plus a few more and they are all out of stock so I’m not sure if I should pay to buy from Vinted or hold out to see if restock

The teabag isn’t available online, only in independent stockists. Your best bet is looking at the stockist page on the website and then ringing round to see if any of them has one.

She’s 14, some people might say she should leave the soft toys for the little ones.

You know there are adult collectors who go absolutely nuts for these, yes?

I got scammed by Florence Lumos online for 2 steepys trying to get one for me and one for a friend. Currently with my credit card company for a chargeback 🤦‍♀️

I'm sorry you got scammed, but that's the most obviously AI-generated-dropshipped-from-AliExpress website I've ever seen.

I know, my point is that when we start policing who can buy these things then others will find 14yos too old too.
