Cute, colourful and instantly recognisable, Miffy plush toys have been winning hearts for more than 70 years.

And we LOVE her at Gift + Home!

From classic white Miffy to colourful corduroy designs and super-soft cuddly versions, there’s now a Miffy plush for pretty much everyone. They make gorgeous gifts for new babies and children, but Miffy definitely isn’t just for little ones. We’ve seen plenty of grown-up Miffy fans adding them to bedrooms, desks, bookshelves and ever-growing collections too.

So, if you’re looking for a Miffy plush in the UK, where do you start?

At Gift + Home, we stock a lovely selection of Miffy soft toys in different colours, fabrics and sizes. From the hugely popular Miffy Corduroy range to Terry, Cozy and Cotton Candy designs, there are LOTS to choose from.

Here are some of our favourites…

Why are Miffy plush toys so popular?

Miffy was created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna in 1955 after he told his son stories about a little white rabbit they had spotted while on holiday.

The character, known as Nijntje in the Netherlands, went on to become a bit of an icon.

Part of Miffy’s appeal is just how simple she is. Two dots for eyes, a little cross-shaped mouth and those unmistakable bunny ears. You know it’s Miffy straight away.

That brilliantly simple design has also helped Miffy stand the test of time.

For parents and grandparents, there’s plenty of nostalgia attached to the character. For younger generations, Miffy’s simple design and endless choice of colours make her feel completely at home alongside today’s interiors, fashion and gift trends.

And, of course, Miffy is VERY cute.

That always helps!

Miffy plush toys aren’t all the same

Search for a Miffy soft toy and you’ll quickly realise just how much choice there is.

You’ve got classic designs, bright colours, neutral colours, different textures and Miffys ranging from little keyrings right through to much bigger cuddly versions.

This makes them particularly good for gifting.

Buying for a nursery? You might want something soft and neutral.

Know somebody whose favourite colour is pink? There’s a Miffy for that.

Shopping for someone who already has several Miffys? Choose a different fabric or style to add to their collection.

The hardest bit is usually picking just one…

Miffy Corduroy plush toys

One of our absolute favourites has to be the Miffy Corduroy collection.

These Miffy plush toys take the classic Miffy shape and add a lovely ribbed corduroy fabric. They’re soft enough for cuddles while also looking great displayed on a shelf, bed or nursery chair.

And then there are the colours.

There are LOADS.

If you want to keep things classic, there’s the Miffy Sitting Corduroy Off White.

For something with a little more colour, take a look at the Miffy Corduroy Cobalt Blue 23cm.

The wider Corduroy collection also includes colours such as Bubblegum Pink, Buttercream, Olive Green, Fuchsia, Pumpkin and Aviator Blue, giving you plenty of choice if you’re trying to match a favourite colour or nursery theme.

The 23cm size is a particularly good all-rounder. Big enough to feel like a proper present, but small enough to sit comfortably on a shelf or bedside table.

Miffy Corduroy soft toys are handmade by Bon Ton Toys and contain 100% recycled PET filling too.

Which colour Miffy Corduroy should you choose?

This might sound like an easy decision until you see them all lined up together!

If you’re buying for a new baby or don’t know the recipient’s favourite colour, the classic off-white and softer neutral shades are always a safe bet.

For a birthday present, choosing their favourite colour makes the gift feel that little bit more personal.

And if you’re buying for a Miffy collector, we’d go for one of the more unusual shades.

The beauty of the Corduroy collection is that they look GREAT together too. So if someone already owns one, you can add another colour for their next birthday or Christmas.

Before long, they might have a whole Miffy rainbow.

Sorry about that 😂

Meet the super-soft Miffy Cozy

We’re not exaggerating when we say these are VERY soft.

The Cozy Miffy collection takes that familiar bunny design and gives it an extra fluffy finish that’s pretty much made for cuddling.

Our Miffy Cozy Cream 23cm comes beautifully presented in a gift box, making it a lovely choice for a birthday, baby shower, new arrival or special occasion.

There’s also the Miffy Cozy Grey 23cm if you prefer a slightly darker neutral shade.

Both come ready to gift, which saves you a job too.

Of course, there’s absolutely nothing stopping you buying one for yourself.

We won’t tell anyone…

Miffy Cotton Candy plush toys

If pastel colours are more your thing, you’ll want to meet the Miffy Cotton Candy collection.

These are a really pretty take on the classic Miffy soft toy, with soft shades that look lovely in nurseries, bedrooms and playrooms.

At Gift + Home, you can find Cotton Candy Miffy designs in shades including Rose, Cream and Pistachio.

The Pistachio is a particular favourite if you want something a little different from the classic white Miffy, while Rose is ideal for anyone who LOVES their pinks.

Like many of our Miffy plush toys, they’re also made using recycled materials.

How cute is the Pistachio one?!

What size Miffy plush should I buy?

Another thing to think about when choosing your Miffy is size.

A smaller Miffy plush around 20–25cm is a great everyday option. They’re easy for children to carry around, don’t take up too much room and can sit nicely on shelves, desks and bedside tables.

This size also works really well for gifting because it feels substantial without being enormous.

Larger Miffy soft toys make more of a statement. They’re great for cuddling and can become part of the decoration in a nursery or bedroom.

If you’re shopping online, always check the measurements before ordering. It can be surprisingly difficult to judge the size of a plush toy from a photograph alone.

Miffy plush toys for new baby gifts

Trying to find a new baby present that isn’t another babygrow?

A Miffy soft toy is a lovely alternative.

The character has a timeless feel, which means a Miffy can stay with them as they grow rather than being something they quickly outgrow.

For new baby gifts, we’d look towards the softer neutral designs such as Miffy Cozy Cream or the Terry collection.

You could also pair a Miffy plush with another small gift to create your own little new baby bundle.

And because parents and grandparents may well have grown up knowing Miffy themselves, there’s often a lovely bit of nostalgia attached to the gift too.

Miffy plush toys for birthdays

Birthdays are where you can have a bit more fun with your choice.

If you know their favourite colour, the Corduroy collection gives you plenty of options.

You could choose something bright and bold, go for their favourite colour or find a Miffy that matches their bedroom.

For someone who already owns a Miffy plush, look for a different colour, texture or size to add to their collection.

It also makes future birthday shopping VERY easy.

Another Miffy, anyone?

Are Miffy plush toys just for children?

Absolutely not 👀

Miffy has become a bit of a design icon in her own right, and plenty of adults are just as obsessed with the little white bunny as children are.

The simple design means Miffy works surprisingly well as part of your home decor.

Pop a Corduroy Miffy on a bookshelf, add one to a home office or sit one amongst cushions on a bed and she doesn’t look out of place.

There’s also the nostalgia factor.

If you grew up reading Miffy books, having a Miffy plush sitting on your shelf is a nice little reminder of childhood.

And with so many colours and limited designs available, collecting Miffy plush toys has become a hobby in itself.

So no, you definitely don’t need to be five years old to own one!

Looking for a smaller Miffy gift?

Maybe they already have enough plush toys to fill a room.

Or maybe you’re looking for a smaller present, stocking filler or little something to go alongside another gift.

That’s where Miffy keyrings come in.

The Miffy Flat Corduroy Keyring Buttercream gives you the familiar Miffy look and lovely corduroy texture in a much smaller package.

Pop one on your keys, handbag, backpack or pencil case and you’ve got a little Miffy with you wherever you go.

They make brilliant little gifts for Miffy fans and are a good way to add something extra to a bigger present.

How to choose the perfect Miffy soft toy

Still struggling to choose?

Think about who you’re buying for first.

For new babies, we’d recommend looking at softer neutral styles such as Cozy Cream or Terry.

For children, consider their favourite colour. The Miffy Corduroy range gives you plenty to choose from.

For teenagers and adults, think about where their Miffy will live. A colour that works with their bedroom, office or home can make a brilliant little decorative addition.

For Miffy collectors, look for something they don’t already own. A different fabric, colour or size gives them something new to add to the collection.

And if you’re buying for yourself?

Just choose your favourite.

Easy.

Why Miffy makes such a lovely gift

Some characters come and go, but Miffy has been around since 1955.

That’s quite some staying power.

Part of what makes Miffy such a lovely gift is that the character works across generations. Grandparents recognise her. Parents recognise her. And younger Miffy fans are discovering her all over again.

A Miffy plush can be a first cuddly toy, a birthday present, a piece of nursery decoration or part of an adult collection.

And because there are so many colours and styles available, you can find something that feels personal without having to overthink it.

That’s our kind of present.
