The latest addition, 'Amuseables Sausage', joins the original lineup of 'Lily Fish', 'Cosy Chips', and 'Dot and Pegg Mushy Peas' in the Jellycat [Fish & Chips van](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bourdon-street-chippy). Designed with Jellycat’s characteristic attention to detail, 'Amuseables Sausage' is available exclusively from the van counter, where it is wrapped in nostalgic newspaper and packaged in a refreshed gift bag that includes themed stickers and an enamel pin. In addition, two new characters are now available off-the-shelf at Selfridges London: 'Amuseables Michelle Mussel', which reflects a delicate, sea-inspired design, and 'Amuseables Onnie Pickled Onion', which features a playful, spirited look. These join other existing characters such as 'Charlie Chip', 'Clemont Lemon', 'Vinny Vinegar', and 'Salty Steve'. Together, these releases reflect Jellycat’s continued emphasis on imaginative, [collectible plush toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-sanrio) with culinary-themed storytelling.
