A deep red velvety tumbler with a thick cream foam collar, two glittery black bat wings out of its sides and two glittery black legs dangling below. Two shiny black eyes sit on the cream band above a stitched grin with two small fangs, a fuzzy orange citrus wheel is wedged at the rim, and a black and white striped straw leans out of the top. Turn him around and a bat face is embroidered into the red in matching thread, the way a bar prints its mark on the cup.

He sits about 5 inches. Jellycat's size chart prints 5.1 inches, 13 cm, and the spec sheet gives 6.3 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches. The brand states the composition as 83% polyester, 7% cotton, 6% nylon and 4% rayon, with PE beans weighting the base, which is why the tumbler stands on a shelf instead of slumping. Jellycat fits hard safety eyes and grades him from birth. One thing to know before you buy: this is the rare Jellycat that is hand wash only.

Jellycat writes him as a Halloween host with stage fright who takes up the organ to calm his nerves, and finally settles a centuries long feud with Amuseables Garlic over a shared soundtrack. He earns his keep on a drinks trolley in October and is still funny in July. If the drink is the draw and the fangs are not, start with Amuseables Latte, the year round version. For the rest of the Halloween shelf, add Amuseables Skull Planter and hang Broox Bat above them.
