Why We Love Carrying Used Jellycats, Cuddle + Kind, and Slumberkins at Whimsy Kids Boutique

At Whimsy Kids Boutique, we believe that quality, comfort, and connection should never come with a steep price tag—or at the cost of the planet. That’s why we’re proud to carry a handpicked collection of gently used Jellycats, Cuddle + Kind dolls, and Slumberkins. These beloved brands aren’t just adorable—they’re meaningful, intentionally designed, and built to last.

Here's why we love giving them a second life—and why they’re such a big hit with families across Canada.

🧸 Jellycat: Irresistibly Soft and Collectible

Jellycat plushies are known for their ultra-soft textures and whimsical designs. From bashful bunnies to mythical creatures and quirky food-shaped friends, these cuddly companions are cherished by kids and collectors alike.

Why we love carrying pre-loved Jellycats:

  • Durability: Jellycats are incredibly well made, often looking brand new even after years of snuggles.

  • Sought-after styles: Some discontinued Jellycats become collector's items. We love being able to offer rare finds you won’t see in stores.

  • Eco-conscious: Choosing a second-hand Jellycat means less waste and a more sustainable nursery.

Whether you're hunting for your little one’s first lovey or adding to a growing Jellycat collection, second-hand is a smart, eco-friendly way to shop.

🧵 Cuddle + Kind: Dolls That Give Back

Cuddle + Kind dolls are more than beautiful—they’re mission-driven. For every doll sold new, the brand provides 10 meals to children in need. Each heirloom-quality doll is hand-knit by artisans in Peru using natural cotton yarns.

Why we love offering gently used Cuddle + Kind dolls:

  • Ethical craftsmanship: These dolls are a testament to slow, intentional design. When resold, they retain their meaning and quality.

  • Timeless style: With their soft colours and thoughtful details, these dolls look lovely in any nursery or play space.

  • Pass-along quality: Many of these dolls look brand new even after years of gentle play—making them perfect for resale.

By choosing a second-hand Cuddle + Kind doll, you extend its story and impact, all while enjoying luxury quality at a fraction of the cost.

🦊 Slumberkins: Tools for Emotional Growth

Slumberkins plush toys and books are intentionally designed to promote emotional wellness and social learning in children. Each creature focuses on themes like mindfulness, confidence, grief, or family changes—making them powerful tools for connection.

Why we carry second-hand Slumberkins:

  • Lasting impact: The messages these creatures carry are timeless and helpful at every stage.

  • Made to be loved: Their soft textures and minimalist designs make them endlessly huggable and calming.

  • Eco-friendly parenting: Rehoming these emotional learning tools aligns with conscious parenting values.

A pre-loved Slumberkin still has so much magic to offer. We love being part of continuing its mission.
