Jellycat Bashful Beige Bunny Stuffed Animal, Medium 12 inches - Rabbit and Bunny Plush Toy - Classic Children's Gift
A 12-inch Bashful Bunny in Jellycat's warm beige colorway: honey-toned, cloud-soft polyester fur, long floppy ears, and the same sweetly stitched Bashful face that's anchored this collection for over two decades. Where the brand's brighter or novelty colors skew toward a specific gender or occasion, this beige tone is the neutral, goes-with-anything pick in the Bashful family, equally at home in a nursery, a diaper bag, or propped on a shelf as a keepsake. It ships ready for immediate cuddling, gifting, or years of daily hugging.

About Jellycat Bashful Beige Bunny Stuffed Animal, Medium 12 inches - Rabbit and Bunny Plush Toy - Classic Children's Gift
Jellycat was founded in London in 1999 to make original, quirky, high-quality soft toys, and the Bashful line became its signature: cloud-soft fur, floppy long ears, and an expressive but simple stitched face that reads as classic rather than trendy. It's sold across mini, small, medium, large, huge, and really-big sizes, and this is the 12-inch medium.
What sets the beige colorway apart from its Bashful bunny siblings is its neutrality. Reviewers who've bought multiple sizes and colors describe the actual fur tone as running a bit warmer and richer in person than the product photos suggest, still squarely in the beige family. Because it isn't pink, blue, or a bold pattern, it tends to be the pick people reach for when they don't know a baby's gender yet, or want something that will still look right on a shelf as the child grows into a teenager and beyond.
In practice, that neutrality plus the softness is what drives repeat purchases: it shows up constantly as a baby-shower gift, a welcome-home newborn present, and a hand-me-down bunny that survives washing machine cycles well enough to be passed to a younger sibling later.

The Honest Take
What We Like and What We Don't
What we like
- Consistently described by reviewers as exceptionally soft plush texture that doesn't flatten out over time
- Neutral beige tone suits any nursery decor or gift occasion, unlike gendered or novelty colorways
- Holds up through repeated machine washing without losing its softness, per multiple reviewers
- Labeled safe from birth with no small parts or batteries
- Recognizable, well-established design from a brand with real collector following
What holds it back
- Actual size runs a little smaller than the 12-inch label suggests once you account for how it's measured, one long-time buyer noted a similarly-sized bunny measured closer to 8 inches sitting rather than a full 12
- Priced higher than a generic mass-market plush, which a few reviewers flagged as steep for a stuffed animal
- Arrives compressed fairly tightly for shipping and needs to be pulled and fluffed back into shape, so it won't look picture-perfect straight out of the box
Is This For You?
Who Should (and Shouldn't) Buy This
Get it if…
you want a neutral, gender-agnostic Bashful Bunny that will suit any nursery theme, works as a newborn or baby-shower gift, and you're comfortable with actual size running a touch smaller than the 12-inch label.
Skip it if…
you're set on gifting an already-perfectly-fluffed bunny straight out of the box without any unpacking or shaping, or you want a size you can measure to the inch rather than Jellycat's brand-typical sizing variance.
The verdict
If you want a Bashful Bunny that isn't tied to a specific gender, holiday, or trend, the beige colorway is the safest, most versatile choice in the lineup, and the softness and durability reviewers describe hold up to the brand's reputation. Just size down your expectations slightly on the 12 inches and expect to fluff it up after unboxing rather than handing it over straight from the shipping bag.
What Real Buyers Say
“This Jellycat bunny is incredibly soft and cuddly, perfect for kids and even adults who love plush toys.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Bashful Beige Bunny really?
It's listed as 12 inches, but Jellycat measures nose-to-toe with the bunny lying flat, so sitting height looks noticeably shorter, closer to 8 or 9 inches. Reviewers who've handled several sizes note it comes in a bit smaller than the number on the label implies, so if you want something that reads as a big 12-inch plush sitting upright, this isn't that.
Is it safe to give to a newborn?
The label marks it suitable from birth, and it has no batteries, no small removable parts, and no plastic eyes that could pose a choking risk. As with any plush for a very young baby, it's still worth following your pediatrician's general guidance on what goes in the crib.
How do you clean it?
Jellycat's care label calls for surface or spot cleaning, but real owners report running it through a full washing machine cycle multiple times without it losing its softness or shape, so it holds up better than the spot-clean-only label suggests.
