Gizzy Giraffe Comforter

Gizzy Giraffe Comforter — a soft, flat comforter with colourful spots

Gizzy the giraffe as a comforter: his fluffy head with sage-green horns, floppy ears and an embroidered smile, on a soft, flat, fluffy body with two little arms, two smooth corners at the bottom and colourful stitched spots in blue, mustard, pink, green and terracotta. About 25cm and just 28g. Machine washable at 30°C, UKCA and CE marked, and suitable from birth. Happy Horse call it the Giraffe Gizzy Tuttle, tuttle being the Dutch word for a comforter.

🤲 Light enough for a newborn

At 28g this is the lightest toy in the Happy Horse range we stock, light enough for a newborn to hold and easy to scrunch up in a small fist. The flat body is soft to stroke and rub against a cheek, and the arms, ears and two smooth corners give little fingers something to hold onto.

🎨 Spots to find

The same colourful spots as the Gizzy soft toy sit on the comforter's tummy, muted enough to stay calm but bright enough to catch a baby's eye against the cream. Later on, they are something to point at and name.

🧺 Into the wash, and out again

A comforter that gets loved gets dropped, chewed and dragged everywhere. This one goes in the machine at 30°C, and plenty of parents buy two, so one can be in the wash without a crisis at bedtime.

⚠️ Worth knowing before you buy

• It is a comforter, not a soft toy. The body is flat. For a Gizzy to sit and cuddle, choose the Gizzy Giraffe soft toy.
• Keep it out of the cot for now. Like any comforter or soft toy, keep it out of the cot until your baby is about 12 months old, and use it for cuddles and settling while they are awake.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is a tuttle?
It is the Dutch word for a comforter. Happy Horse are a Dutch brand, so they call this the Giraffe Gizzy Tuttle.

What age is it for?
From birth. Young babies hold and stroke it, and toddlers carry it everywhere.

Can it go in the cot?
Not yet. Keep comforters and soft toys out of the cot until your baby is about 12 months old. Our guide to baby comforters covers when and how to introduce one safely.

Can I wash it?
Yes, in the machine at 30°C.

Does it match the Gizzy soft toy?
Yes. Same giraffe, same spots, so the two make a lovely pair for a gift.
