Meet Gilbert, your new forever friend, a soft toy dog who’s always up for an adventure. Some dogs are quiet and polite. Gilbert is not one of those dogs.
Made from classic linen with soft cotton plush ears for added texture and Australian merino wool knitted overalls he’s the first one out the door, the one who finds the best stick and rolls in the mud when he thinks he can get away with it.
Gilbert loves splashing puddles, building forts out of cushions, and playing running races with his friends. He doesn’t like having his face washed.
Each Gilbert rabbit comes with his own character tag — a small story in her own words, because every forever friend deserves a proper introduction.
Made from natural fibres, Gilbert is gentle on sensitive skin and designed for everyday use and to be love forever. His best friend is Harriet the dog soft toy who likes to think she is the more loyal of the two dogs.
A perfect newborn gift, baby shower keepsake, or birthday surprise for a child who loves dogs.
I love adventures but I do need to be looked after: Spot clean with a damp cloth for small marks- this is the gentlest option and will extend the life of me.
I do love a bath (especially with bubbles and a good book) but I’m just as happy with a simple wash in a bucket, it helps me stay soft and last for years to come. (don't soak me for too long)
If a full wash is needed: place in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cold cycle.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.
Do not bleach.
Natural linen cotton may soften slightly with washing — this won't affect my appearance or safety.

The Kind of Blanket You Keep Forever
When you see an item that is meant for a child or a baby, but you're so taken by it as an adult that you think to yourself: " I would totally use this blanket on my own bed, or wrap it around my shoulders while sitting on the porch on a cool summer morning." You're probably talking about the hand crochet 'trad-vibe' blanket from And The Little Dog Laughed. So beautiful is this blanket I bought the sky blue and the caramel ocre as gifts for dear friends who recently had a baby and I know they will love the delicate touch of nostalgia it adds to their lives.

Such a gorgeous gift for a little one. Unique designs and I love the use of natural fibres. I have no doubt that this little duck will be loved for years to come. Great presentation on arrival also, perfect for sending directly as a gift.
