There were actually Jellycats at the Waterstones I was in this weekend, when I've been in the past there was usually just a couple or none. After I took these photos I actually straightened up the display so everyone was facing out. I didn't get anyone because I didn't have money but I did thoroughly enjoy saying hello to everyone and giving them pats and a little "hand cuddle" (like hugging them but using just my hands so that I don't accidentally get them too close to my face or anything).

I really liked Munro Scottie Dog, they had three there, it was nice to check the texture since sometimes it can be a little tricky to tell (a bit like the curvie Jellycats, a couple of lengths and warm/fluffy type fabric instead of silky soft), if I'd had money I honestly would've been tempted to bring one home. I felt Crumblie Fox and liked that texture too (same as or very similar to the Fuddlewuddles). Fuddlewuddle Dino and Elephant are great, the name made my brother smile, they've both been on my list for ages, and Harry Panda is always very tough to resist because while he's not floppy he does have the perfect amount of stuffing (at least all of the ones I've felt) to where he squishes a little when you hug him but also presses you in a nice reassuring way.

I know lots of people like sharks so the sharks in the second photo are Keel Eco (the brand is called Keel, this collection is the Eco collection it uses recycled materials if I remember rightly) and are very very soft and lovely, the Keel Eco stuff is always super soft (almost Jellycat soft) I have a little Panda I got as a gift and they're great so if anyone is curious about those then I can recommend them. In case anyone was curious my brother's favourites were these sharks and Bashful Tiger (he didn't get anything either because he's trying to save money).

In the window I saw a few lambs but didn't get a proper look because it was getting late, I think one might've been Huddles Sheep though (bearing in mind that I need to go for an eye test and definitely need new glasses xD) very cute!

I'm really excited for the Feb 15th drop, I don't know if I'll be able to actually get anything right away (this month didn't go to plan and I feel like their prices have gone up since a year or two ago which is sad for me), but regardless I'm excited to look when they drop! I got my favourites into the three I'd buy if I could though (three because initially three was how many I intended to get and had allocated money for it but between Build-a-Bear and a few things going wrong I used most of it).

Blowzy Belle Sheep (if I'm picking just one this'll be the one)

Fuzzkin Monkey

Tumblie Elephant (or Cosmo Monster, I keep going back and forth on this one)

Then once Feb is done I need to take a break to let my wallet recover (also I'm out of space so I really need to limit myself more).
