Sophie la Girafe at Love My Lot: the little giraffe parents trust for teething + first cuddles

Few baby gifts are as instantly loved (and instantly recognisable!) as Sophie la Girafe. Hand-friendly, squeaky-sweet and made from 100% natural rubber, Sophie has soothed tiny gums since 1961—and she’s still the go-to first toy for new families today.

Why parents love Sophie

• Safe, natural materials – Sophie and her teething rings are made from natural rubber from the Hevea tree and decorated with food-grade pigments. That soft, springy feel is perfect for sore gums. 

• Sensory magic – contrasting spots for sight, a gentle squeak for sound, a signature natural-rubber scent, a soft biteable texture, and lightweight limbs for grasping—Sophie was designed to stimulate all five senses.

• Still lovingly made – the classic teether is traditionally produced, with multiple hand-finished steps that make every Sophie feel special. 

What’s in our Sophie collection

We’ve curated customer favourites and beautiful gift sets—perfect for baby showers, new arrivals and “just because” surprises.

• The Original Sophie la Girafe – the icon itself: squeaks, soothes and entertains from the first signs of teething. 

• So Pure Teething Ring – a slimmer, easy-grip ring made from the same natural rubber, with different textures to comfort babies through each teething stage. 

• Sophiesticated Teether Gift Set – a keepsake box pairing the original Sophie with a So’Pure teething ring; our pick when you want an instantly giftable bundle. 

• Comforter with Pacifier Holder – super-soft cuddle cloth from the So’Pure range, boxed beautifully and ready to gift. 

• Sophie Play & Learn – extend the world of Sophie with tactile books and nursery-friendly wooden play (think bead mazes and shape sorters) that build early skills. 

Care tips (quick + easy)

Keep Sophie looking her best: wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, don’t boil or submerge, and cover the squeaker hole during cleaning to avoid moisture inside. Like a toothbrush—one baby, one Sophie. Do not boil, sterilise or dishwash and always use under adult supervision.

Our take

As parents ourselves, we love products that are simple, safe and genuinely useful. Sophie’s soft natural rubber, thoughtful design and timeless look tick every box—no batteries, just brilliant design that works from birth and keeps delighting through those peekaboo months.
