The Jellycat Ghost Bob in White is a 16cm named character soft toy from Jellycat’s AW2026 collection — a ghost given the full Jellycat treatment: embroidered face, 100% polyester plush construction, and a name that gives it a specific personality rather than a generic character type. Made in Thailand, Ghost Bob is part of the Halloween and Christmas gifting collections and is suitable for boys and girls. The white colourway is the natural choice for a ghost character, but Jellycat’s construction gives it warmth and approachability — this is a soft toy that reads as friendly rather than frightening, which is a deliberate and important distinction for a children’s designer toy brand whose audience includes toddlers and younger children.
The name “Bob” does a lot of work here. It’s deliberately ordinary — a ghost called Bob is immediately more endearing than threatening, and it signals Jellycat’s consistent approach to taking potentially spooky or unusual subject matter and making it genuinely child-friendly through character design and naming. At 16cm, Ghost Bob is on the compact end of Jellycat’s character range — which makes it well-suited as a stocking filler, a desk or shelf display piece, or a smaller gift that packs personality above its size.

Buying Advice
Surface wash only — damp cloth, air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. The 100% polyester construction is consistent and durable, and Thailand is an established manufacturing location in Jellycat’s supply chain with the same quality standards applied across all its production countries. White plush requires the most attentive care of any colourway — marks show immediately, and the longer a stain sits before treatment the harder it is to remove without discolouring the fabric. For white plush toys, prompt spot cleaning with a damp cloth is significantly more effective than delayed washing. Ghost Bob’s compact 16cm size makes it easy to clean quickly and thoroughly. For gifting, the small format means Ghost Bob travels and packages well — it can be tucked into a Christmas stocking, a gift bag, or presented alongside a larger gift as a secondary item without competing for space. Always check the age guidance on the product label before gifting to children under 3.
