Why I think the 2025 Jellycat Spring Amuseables are still the hardest find in Australia

February 07, 2026

The magnetism of the Amuseables collection

I have spent the better part of early 2026 trying to complete my collection of the Jellycat 2025 Spring Amuseables. If you are like me and live in Australia, you know the struggle of seeing these adorable plushies—from the smiling daffodils to the blushing eggs—go viral on social media, only to find our local shelves completely bare. There is something uniquely charming about the Amuseables line that turns grown adults into dedicated hunters. My obsession started with a single coffee cup plush, and now, my Sydney apartment is slowly being taken over by a soft, smiling garden.

The hype surrounding the 2025 Spring Collection hasn't faded even as we move further into 2026. These items are more than just toys; they have become lifestyle accessories and collector's items. However, the supply chain for these specific designs often favors North American retailers, leaving us in the Southern Hemisphere waiting months for stock that may never arrive.

The reason I look at US retailers first

We often find that major US retailers like Nordstrom and certain boutique toy stores receive the first wave of any new Jellycat release. By the time I see a 'Sold Out' sign in a local Melbourne boutique, I usually find that my favorite freight forwarder already has a healthy supply of the same items sitting in US warehouses. This disparity in stock levels is exactly why I changed my shopping strategy. Instead of waiting for local distributors, I started using a tax-free US address to secure these items the moment they drop.

Essential items I tracked down from the 2025 Spring drop

During my recent search, I realized that certain items are much harder to find than others. The 2025 Spring Collection introduced several new floral and food-themed Amuseables that became instant hits. I managed to find the Amuseable Tulip and the Spring Bunny at a US retailer that didn't even offer direct shipping to Australia. This is where a reliable international shipping service becomes essential for a collector. We don't want to miss out on limited-edition releases just because of geographical boundaries.

Calculating the journey from the US to Australia

I always tell my fellow collectors that the most important part of the process is knowing what you will pay before you click 'buy'. I always use the shipping calculator to get a clear picture of the costs. Plushies are deceptive because while they are light, their volume can add up quickly if you are buying the 'Large' or 'Really Big' versions of the Jellycat characters. If a store refuses to accept my Australian credit card, I simply use the BuyForMe service to have a professional handle the purchase for me.

Shipping estimates for your plush haul

To help you plan your next haul, I have put together a rough estimate based on my experience shipping the 2025 Spring Amuseables from the US to Australia.

FactorEstimate for Standard PlushEstimate for Large/Bulky Plush
Box Weight0.3 kg - 0.5 kg0.8 kg - 1.5 kg
Box DimensionsSmall (approx. 20x15x15 cm)Medium to Large (approx. 40x30x30 cm)
Volumetric WarningLow riskHigh risk (Plushies are airy but take space)
Battery CheckNo batteries includedNo batteries included

A note on Volumetric Weight: I have learned the hard way that shipping companies charge based on whichever is greater: the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Because Amuseables are light but can be quite 'poofy', they often trigger a higher volumetric charge. I always recommend using a service that offers repacking or consolidation to minimize the empty space in your box.

My step-by-step method for getting these home

If you are ready to secure your own pieces from the 2025 collection, here is how I do it. First, I find the items on a US-based site like Nordstrom or the official Jellycat US store. Then, I ship them to my US suite provided by comGateway. If the process seems confusing, you can always check out this step-by-step guide which explains how the package moves from the US warehouse to your front door in Australia. My experience has been that even with shipping costs, I often save money compared to the inflated prices on Australian secondary markets, and more importantly, I actually get the items I want before they disappear forever.
