Meet Douglas, the wonderfully soft and mischievous monkey with a talent for finding trouble and a habit of dragging his favourite human into it.
Douglas is made from soft chocolate-speckled plush with a contrasting caramel face and corduroy details on his feet.
Douglas loves chasing the family dog, playing hide-and-seek, and building blanket forts in the lounge room. He doesn't like thunderstorms.
His favourite partner in mischief is Delores monkey, his girlfriend and the calmer one who bakes with grandma while he pretends to help.
Each Douglas monkey arrives with his own character tag, a small story in his own words. Every forever friend deserves a proper introduction, and children treasure the ones who feel like more than a toy.
Douglas is the friend they'll reach for at 2am, and the one who ends up in every family photo for the next twenty years.
Safe for your baby from day one, thoughtfully made for the smallest hands, Douglas is a beautiful new baby gift, baby shower present, or a child's first plush monkey. He measures approximately 25cm.
I do prefer a bath than the machine (especially with bubbles and a good book), but I’m just as happy with a simple soak in a bucket — it helps me stay soft and last for years to come
The plush body can be gently machine washed in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.

He's stunning! I bought this as a first birthday present for my nephew Cedric and he's just so cute!! Love the quality, love the outfit, and his little story is such a lovely touch. I think real life Cedric is going to absolutely adore his little donkey twin.
I bought the vintage pink blanket as a gift for my nephew and his wife in South Africa, and it is so gorgeous that I bought a second one as a gift for a good friend who has a baby girl. It is very pretty and so soft. The vintage colours give it a really 'expensive' look. I will certainly buy again in future.
