Meet Jack, your child's very first mate. Soft, warm, and ready to hop into your home, heart first.
His name isn't just adorable. In Australia, a male kangaroo is actually called a Jack, so from the very first cuddle, he carries a little piece of real Australian bush magic. A sweet nod to his true wild roots and the perfect first story to tell your little one.
Standing approximately 50cm tall and crafted from soft, breathable 100% cotton with recycled polyester filling, Jack is designed to be held, loved, and taken everywhere. Big enough for newborn snuggles, gentle enough for tiny hands, and beautiful enough to style in any nursery for years to come. He arrives wearing his striped cotton knitted neutral jumper and linen khaki pants, quietly Aussie, beautifully considered.
Safe from birth. A companion for life. Pair Jack with My First Mate, Jill, to complete the ultimate Australian kangaroo duo.
The story behind this one
You buy Jack for the child who is just beginning. And for the parents who will never forget this moment.
Jack is the newborn gift. The one you give when a family is just starting, when everything is tender and new and full of possibility. He is big enough to be held alongside a baby, soft enough to be safe from day one, and beautiful enough to live in a nursery for years.
He has been bought as the coming home gift, the baby shower centrepiece, the first Christmas morning surprise. Parents tell us he is the first toy their child truly bonds with. The one that ends up in every photo.
In Australia, a male kangaroo is called a Jack. So when you give this doll, you are giving a name with real meaning, a genuine piece of Australian identity wrapped in the softest cotton imaginable.
Pair Jack with My First Mate, Jill, for the complete Australian duo. She has the double pouches, he has the warmth, and together they are the most beautiful newborn gift in the country.
