Jellycat soft toys are all the rage at the moment amongst children and adults alike - the only drawback being their collection can prove to be an expensive hobby. Much pricier than your average teddy bear owing to their quality and unique and innovate design, stumbling upon them in a charity shop has the potential to save fans a small fortune.
That was the case for bargain hunter, Amy Danes, who took to TikTok after spotting two on her latest thrifting mission. "I hit charity shop gold today and found two very rare items that I have been looking for for a very long time," she declared in a video.
Amy went on to explain that she makes money as a reseller, who likes to "hunt down" cut-price items "for profit" - with Jellycat toys often proving lucrative.

"Look what I found today," she beamed, holding a loft a Jellycat bunny in the charity shop. "This is how it was hanging in the basket... it is a giant Jellycat bunny and they resell between £40 and £60."
Amazingly, however, the bunny set Amy back a solitary pound.
"It was £3 [on the price sticker], but when I got to the till, she charged me a pound," Amy said.
She continued, admitting she "rummaged" further through a variety of "cute teddies" and eventually came to a second Jellycat - this time a woolly mammoth.
"This one is currently [sold] online for £68," Amy gushed. "Again it was marked at £3 and I paid just £1 - so £2 for both 'Jellies' and I'll be auctioning them off on Tilt on Sunday."
Writing in response, one TikTok user hailed: "Absolutely great finds. Not 100% sure the bunny is worth £40-60, other colours definitely are worth a lot but cream and beige don’t usually sell for a lot."
A second person added: "I can’t believe that they charged you £1 each! What a find, lucky day for you."
A third moaned: "The charity shops near me would sell them for £40. Wow I can't believe you got them so cheap."
Whilst a fourth TikTok user praised: "What a great find, well done Amy."
Others, however, told Amy she should have paid the charity shop's original asking price. "You should have given the charity shop a fair price knowing the profit you can make," one individual fumed.
To which Amy replied: "I gave them exactly what they wanted for them. She saw the price and said that they had all been reduced down to £1."
She reiterated in a second comment: "I paid exactly what they asked for, nothing wrong with that they prove things low for quick sales and that’s what they got."
