My mom wants to buy my DD a stuffed animal for Christmas. Im a bit partial to Jellycats as we have a few and they are the perfect size for my DD to snuggle, she sleeps with 2 and her brother has one too. Her room is lavender (my favorite color) and I thought it might be nice to have one to match her room scheme to use as decor later on too if she outgrows the love for it. These are the 2 lavender ones I found.

I prefer the unicorn in theory but the hippo is cuter I think?

I dont get the huge price difference either, just because the unicorn is one inch bigger?
