Lily & George Blog

Our blog is where we take a closer look at the world behind Lily & George. Here, we share insights into design, materials, child development, and the small details that go into creating toys that are thoughtful, safe, and made to be loved.

  • Designed to Comfort: The Science and Simplicity Behind a Child’s Comforter
    From emotional regulation to sleep routines, comforters support children in meaningful ways during their early development. This piece looks at the psychology behind comfort objects and the design principles that help comforters feel calming, safe, and reassuring.
  • Recycled polyester filling vs first-use polyester
    This article explores what’s inside our soft toys and why it matters, looking at the difference between recycled and first-use polyester filling, where these materials come from, and the impact they have on the environment. We share why we’ve chosen recycled polyester, how it supports a more circular approach to manufacturing, and how focusing on quality and longevity helps us avoid a fast-fashion mindset — creating soft toys designed to be loved and passed on, not quickly replaced.
