Amuseables are some of the most popular Jellycats out today. I’m going to be honest, I really wasn’t sure if I was going to get any of them. They were adorable, but I didn’t think they fit in with my collection: I only had creatures and I was trying to keep with a theme. I was wrong. Now I have nearly 100 Amuseables and over 50 non-animal designs that fall into the Amuseable category on the Jellycat website (Numbers are still from 2022).
In the 2018 Main Collection, Jellycat released the first Amuseable designs. They consisted of a Cherry, Watermelon (now sized as Large), Pineapple (now sized as Large), Mushroom, and Cactus. By the 2018 Mid-year Collection, the Cloud (now sized as Large), Avocado (now sized as Large) and Yucca joined the line up as well as bag charms and zip pouch variations of the original five designs.
When the collection was first released, the names on the tag said ‘Amuseable’. The tags featured a green leaf with the words ‘Amuseables’ and ‘Jellycat’.
In mid-2024, this was changed to ‘Amuseables’, and the tags changed as well. In an effort to combat counterfeits and to distinguish the different Amusesables lines, the tags now feature the house shape that are used for all Jellycat tags. The jelly on top of the cat is replaced with a pineapple for the regular Amuseables designs and a sport cap for the Amuseables Sports.
I have used both ‘Amuseable’ and ‘Amuseables’ in this database, depending on when it was released, to be true to the tags and names that appear in the catalogues and on the website. But the correct phrase is Amuseables, when referring to a design.
Four years later, the Amuseables range has gotten bigger, with recent designs including plants and stationary materials. With smiling faces, or not so happy, as is the case of some of the boiled eggs, these designs are highly popular among collectors.
