I need a big cuddly toy elephant, about 2 to 3ft tall.

Perhaps a giraffe too, but would have to be 4ft, couldn't have the giraffe shorter than the elephant.

Where's the best cuddly toy shop? Online best.

TIA.

It's probably better you order them instead of him?

Thought so.

There is more than a whiff of the "furry" about those adverts.

Gets good reviews:

My daughter recently bought this giraffe for my wife, for Mother's Day. I thought it was quite a sophisticated and expensive choice, given she is only 2, but I still think it is a fantastic toy. My wife, however, thinks it is not an appropriate gift for an adult and believes my daughter bought it with every intention of keeping it for herself.

The toy is huge and takes up the entire corner of our dining room, which is fantastic as I no longer have to repair the broken plaster on the wall. This also makes my wife angry.

The photo listed alongside this item shows a tiny child staring up, admiringly, at the impressively proportioned giraffe, yet the product description insists it is unsuitable for children under the age of 36 months.

From this I can only surmise that:

A) The seller harbours a callous disregard for the safety of small children
or
B) The child in the photograph is in fact a convincing stunt-dwarf, trained in the dark arts of handling dangerous animals, like a 4ft stuffed giraffe.

I have been unable to establish why this item is unsafe for the under-3s. I can only assume a toddler might try to climb it, in a desperate and frenzied bid to reach the dried apricots on the 3rd shelf up. My daughter is unlikely to do this, preferring instead to use an upended coffee table. For this reason she felt safe in disregarding the seller's advice and bought the giraffe anyway.

In summary, this is an excellent toy for all ages and if you're considering buying a 4ft stuffed giraffe; this should definitely be in your top 5 options.

Got quite a few of these sorts of things in Harrods. Not too ridiculous on price surprisingly.

Strangely enough I was just browsing the 'big fk-off cuddly toy section' in Harrods last weekend.

I was quite impressed until I saw that the lifesize Lion was £4000.

The Giraffe comes in a box that is too big to go in an XJ6.

This is an appropriate size toy for an unborn baby I'm sure. Defo. Not sure what Mrs H's reaction will be.

Handily the bedroom which junior will occupy has patio doors into the garden, I think we'd struggle to get that through the hallway.
