Review: Perfect Christmas gift - Super soft and cute .
Review: Made a little girl's Christmas! - My 3 yr old granddaughter had been singing "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. Only a hippopotmas will do" for two weeks before Christmas after she learned it at pre-school. The week before Christmas her mom took her to see Santa and the ONLY thing she requested from him was a hippopotomus. There were no hippos in the numerous stores her mom and I visited. Finally just a couple of days before the holiday I finally took time to look on desertcart and here he was waiting for us! The plain brown box, with the smiley face, arrived Dec 24 as promised, thank you desertcart Prime, and as my granddaughter came down the stairs Christmas morning to a toy kitchen and a new doll and wheeled toys and lots of other goodies she proclaimed, "Santa brought my Hippopotamus!" Jellycat Hippo is perfect. Soft and cuddly and lavender, he has slept with her nightly since Dec 25, 2012. Thank you desertcart! You really have everything we need and your service and delivery are outstanding.
