Safari Softies

Safari Softies: Five Plush Safari Animals for a New Baby

Safari Softies is a set of five plush safari soft toys: a grey elephant, a spotted leopard, a lion with a fluffy orange mane, a giraffe and a grey hippo. It is a new baby gift that fills a nursery shelf in one go, and it ships nationwide, so you can send it to a new arrival anywhere in South Africa. We have been putting baby gifts together in our Claremont studio since 1999, and every set is packed by our team before it leaves.

An elephant, a leopard, a lion, a giraffe and a hippo: a whole little safari for the nursery, sent as one gift.

What's in the Set

• Elephant: soft grey plush with a white tummy and floppy ears
• Leopard: golden plush with dark spots and a white face
• Lion: orange plush with a fluffy mane and a white muzzle
• Giraffe: cream plush with rust-orange patches and brown hooves
• Hippo: soft grey plush with a white tummy and a tufted tail

A Baby Shower Gift for a Boy or a Girl

Half of all baby gifts are pink and the other half are blue. These five are neither, which makes them an easy choice when you do not know the gender, or when the parents would rather keep the nursery neutral. Send them to a baby shower, for the first visit home, to a godchild, or for a first birthday. With 5,800+ reviews across Google, Trustpilot and Loox behind us, you can send it knowing it will be looked after.

Soft Toys and Newborns

Like any soft toy, these five are best kept out of the cot while the baby is small, because safe-sleep guidance recommends a clear cot for young babies. In the first months they make a lovely display on a nursery shelf, and they come down into little hands when the baby is old enough to play. To keep them fresh, spot clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let them air dry.
