It’s been 60 years since Paddington Bear first appeared on the platform at Paddington station, sitting on a worn leather suitcase. Since his debut in 1958, Paddington has been adored by children everywhere and secured his status as a British national icon. Indeed, the streets of London are awash with Paddington bear souvenirs and memorabilia.

We’ve got a gift that’s perfect for any special occasion, whether you’re gifting it to someone who grew up reading Paddington bear, or you’d like to introduce your little one to the magic of this tale. This gift set includes two stories in one: Paddington and Paddington in the Garden storybook, as well as a delightful Paddington Bear soft toy that any little one will love. Bring the memorable character of Paddington Bear to life with a Paddington soft toy, little blue jacket, red hat, and all.

The original Paddington tells of how the bear from darkest Peru first meets the Brown family, as he waits at the station with a label around his neck reading “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You”. Read about how Paddington handles some sticky situations with cream buns, baths and escalators. In the second story in this two-story edition, Paddington in the Garden, Paddington takes charge of the Brown’s garden just in time for National Garden Week. What happens when gardening and marmalade get mixed up?

The personalised storybook allows your child to star in the story, with their name featured on the cover and a special dedication on each page. It’s as though they’re dipping their paws in marmalade right next to Paddington!
