Why the hype for the 2025 Spring Collection isn't dying
I’ve noticed that even though we are already well into 2026, the obsession with the Jellycat 2025 Spring Collection (Amuseables) hasn't slowed down one bit. If you’re a collector like me, you know that the 2025 Easter drops—especially the Amuseable Daffodil and those adorable Sun charms—became instant classics. My social feeds are still full of people trying to complete their sets.
We often find that here in Switzerland, our local boutiques only get a fraction of the full range. I’ve spent way too many weekends checking shops in Zurich and Geneva only to find the same basic stock. The really quirky stuff, the ones that make the Amuseables line so special, seem to vanish from European shelves almost as soon as they arrive.
The US retailer advantage for Swiss collectors
My secret to getting these plushies is looking across the Atlantic. Major US retailers like Nordstrom often receive stock of specific 'Amuseable' designs much earlier than we do in Europe. In fact, many 2025 designs are still being restocked in the US while they remain 'Out of Stock' indefinitely on this side of the pond.
I’ve found that by shopping at US stores, I can access the full breadth of the collection. Whether it's the limited-edition 2025 Spring bag charms or the larger home decor Amuseables, the variety available in the States is just on another level. Plus, I don't have to deal with the second-hand market markups that are so common in local collector groups.
How I shop from the USA using a tax-free address
When I first started doing this, I was worried about the logistics. Most US stores don't offer direct international shipping to Switzerland, or if they do, the costs are astronomical. That is when I started using comGateway. They provide me with a tax-free us address in Oregon, which means I don’t have to pay US sales tax on my Jellycat haul.
The process is actually quite simple. I just use my US address at the checkout of my favorite toy store or department store. Once the package arrives at the warehouse, I get a notification. If you are new to this, I highly recommend checking out this step-by-step guide on how the whole forwarding process works. It made my first purchase feel a lot less intimidating.
The BuyForMe solution for tricky US stores
I’ve run into a common problem when trying to buy from big names like Nordstrom, Sephora, or even Nike. Some of these stores are notorious for blocking international credit cards or automatically cancelling orders that are sent to a known freight forwarder. It’s incredibly frustrating to have your heart set on a rare Amuseable only to have your order killed five minutes later.
To get around this, I use the "BuyForMe" service. Instead of me trying to use my Swiss card, I tell the comGateway team what I want, and they buy it on my behalf using a US domestic credit card. I’ve found this is the safest way to guarantee my order doesn't get cancelled. It’s a lifesaver for those high-demand drops where you only get one shot at the stock.
Shipping estimates to Switzerland
I know we all worry about the final cost of shipping. To help you plan your next Jellycat haul, I’ve put together some estimates based on my previous shipments of the 2025 Spring Collection. You can also use the shipping calculator to get a more precise number for your specific items.
| Logistics Factor | Estimated Detail |
|---|---|
| Box Weight | Approx. 1.1 lbs (0.5 kg) for a medium plush. |
| Box Dimensions | Small (Approx. 20x15x15 cm). |
| Volumetric Warning | Plushies are light but can be bulky. I always check if my items are being shipped in a box that is much larger than necessary, as international shipping rates are often calculated based on volume rather than just weight. |
| Battery Check | No lithium batteries! This makes shipping much easier and avoids extra safety surcharges. |
My advice? Try to consolidate. If I'm buying a small Amuseable egg, I’ll usually wait and buy a few other things from different stores so I can ship them all together. It significantly lowers the price per item when you look at the total shipping fees.
Managing Swiss import costs
Finally, we have to talk about the boring stuff: taxes. When I bring my Jellycats into Switzerland, I have to be mindful of import duties and the Swiss VAT. Since 2024, Switzerland has simplified some of its import tariffs, but you still need to pay VAT if the value of your goods (including shipping) exceeds the limit.
I always make sure to keep my invoices ready for customs. It’s just part of the process when you want the best collectibles that aren't available locally. Even with the shipping and the potential customs tax, I usually find that I’m paying less than I would to a local scalper—and I get the peace of mind knowing my plushie is brand new from a reputable US store.
If you're still looking for that one specific piece from the Jellycat 2025 Spring Collection, don't give up. I've found that the US market is your best bet, and with a reliable shop us store strategy, you can get it delivered right to your door in Switzerland without the headache.
