Soft Toys and Plush Toys

Features and types

The range is divided into three size brackets, each designed for a different use.

Small sizes (15–30 cm)

Smaller subjects are the most versatile: lightweight, easy to gift and manageable for younger children. The De.car2 Peluche Coniglio Panna con Fiocco H 15 Cm (available in 3 colours) and the De.car2 Peluche Papero Steso L 25 Cm (available in 4 colours) fall into this bracket. The De.car2 Peluche Orsetto Seduto con Felpa H 15 Cm (assorted colours) is a good choice for christenings and small gifts. The De.car2 Papere Stese con Fiocco L 30 Cm, in 4 colours, complete this bracket with a less common subject. TheArpimex Cagnolino Gold H 25 Cm — the only canine subject in the selection, with golden fur — is an alternative for those wanting something different from classic bears and rabbits.

Medium sizes (20–60 cm)

Medium size is a versatile choice for personal gifts and nursery décor. The De.car2 Peluche Coniglio Bunny Piedone H 20 Cm is available in 3 assorted colours. The De.car2 Peluche Leprotto Bicolore L 22 Cm offers a two-tone colour variant, in 3 colours. Moving up in size, the De.car2 Peluche Coniglio Bunny Seduto L 60 Cm con Giacchetta Jeans adds a stylish detail with a denim jacket (2 colours). The De.car2 Coniglietto Bunny L 60 Cm Occhi Glitter Verdi e Azzurri stands out for its two-tone glittered eyes: a model suited also for those seeking something visually distinctive.

Maxi and giant plushes (100–250 cm)

For those seeking a high-impact gift, the maxi size transforms the plush into a true décor element. The De.car2 Peluche Bunny Bicolore L 100 Cm Occhi Glitterati and the De.car2 Peluche Coniglio Beige Maxi L 100 Cm Occhi Ricamo Glitterati are the main choices for reading corners, play areas or scenic displays.

The largest plush in the selection is the De.car2 Peluche Orso Jumbo Beige da 250 cm: soft beige fabric, a size that fills an entire corner of the room. It is the quintessential large-format gift — designed more for adults and teenagers than young children, precisely because of its dimensions. Hard not to notice it, impossible not to remember it.

Christmas and seasonal plushes

The selection also includes festive-themed models. Fabric gnomes and Christmas characters fit naturally into winter displays alongside garlands and decorations. For those seeking this specific type, the dedicated page on Christmas plushes gathers the available seasonal models, updated according to the holiday calendar.

How to choose the right plush

The choice depends on three factors: the recipient's age, the occasion and available space.

For children up to 3 years old it is best to choose models with embroidered or sewn details directly onto the fabric, without applied eyes or detachable accessories. Sizes from 15 to 25 cm are easy to hold and carry.

For children over 3 years old the choice opens up to models with glittered eyes, denim jackets or decorative bows. Medium size (30–60 cm) is practical for everyday use.

As a gift for adults — girlfriend, friend, loved one — a two-tone rabbit at 100 cm or the 250 cm maxi plush makes a lasting impression. These are thoughts with great emotional impact, perfect for important birthdays or sentimental occasions.

For decoration and display maxi sizes adapt to reading corners, nurseries and play rooms. Seasonal subjects complete winter decorations without requiring additional supports. You can match them with de.car2 decorations for a coherent display.

For christenings and small gifts sizes from 15 to 25 cm work well as bomboniere or gifts to pair with confetti. A small bear with fleece or a rabbit with bow at 15 cm is practical, manageable and does not require elaborate packaging.

Frequently asked questions

What plush sizes are available?

The range starts at 15 cm and goes up to 250 cm. Small models (15–30 cm) are ideal as small gifts, bomboniere or table decorations. Medium sizes (20–60 cm) are a practical choice for nurseries and personal gifts. Maxi sizes (100–250 cm) become décor elements. The 250 cm Jumbo Bear is the largest size in the selection and occupies structural space in the room.

Are giant plushes suitable as a gift for adults?

Yes. Models at 100 cm and above are often chosen as an affectionate gift — for a girlfriend, a friend or an important sentimental occasion. The 250 cm Jumbo Bear, because of its size, is explicitly designed for adults and teenagers: it guarantees a surprise effect difficult to replicate with other gifts.

Are plushes with accessories such as jackets, bows or applied eyes safe for young children?

Models with detachable accessories or applied eyes are recommended for children over 3 years old. For younger children it is preferable to choose subjects with embroidered or sewn details directly onto the fabric.

How do you clean plushes?

For routine cleaning, a damp cloth gently wiped over the fabric is sufficient. Maxi sizes can be vacuumed with caution. Before any washing, check the instructions on the manufacturer's label.

What subjects are available in the selection?

Rabbits and bears are the main subjects, in versions covering all sizes — from small ones with bows to maxi ones with glittered embroidered eyes. Ducks, hares and the Arpimex Gold puppy complete the offer for those seeking a less common subject. For the Christmas season, the Christmas plushes page gathers the available thematic models.
