📚 For Paddington Bookworms
Paddington’s Suitcase — 8 favourite picture books

🎧 Prefer to Listen?
Paddington stories also work brilliantly for children who enjoy listening rather than sitting with a physical book. We’re checking the best current Paddington Tonie and other audio-story options before adding retailer links here, so this section will stay curated rather than becoming a wall of products.
📚 World Book Day & Dressing Up
Classic Paddington child costume
Paddington is also an easy book-character choice for World Book Day. This Rubies costume gives you the ready-made route; families can also recreate the recognisable look themselves with a blue coat, red hat and homemade luggage tag if that suits the budget better.

New Paddington Gifts and Collaborations for 2026–27
Paddington is having quite the moment beyond the familiar books and cuddly bears. Here are the newer collaborations worth keeping an eye on, with a clear distinction between products you can browse and those that have only been announced.
Paddington x Crocs: lined clogs arriving in October 2026
Yes, Paddington has his own Crocs collaboration. The UK Crocs website lists the adult Paddington Classic Lined Clog at £79.99 and the children’s version at £64.99, both with an estimated arrival date of 20 October 2026. At the time of this update, they are marked Coming Soon, so please don’t mistake this for a live-stock announcement.

Le Toy Van’s Paddington wooden toys
Something for the imaginative-play crowd: Le Toy Van has announced a Paddington wooden-toy collection including the Brown family’s home, figures, a wooden train set and a red London bus. The initial UK and US rollout is planned for the final quarter of 2026, with wider international availability expected in 2027. Individual UK prices and retailer stock are not yet confirmed here, so consider this a watchlist rather than a shopping recommendation.
Moleskine x Paddington
A Paddington collaboration with stationery brand Moleskine has also been reported as part of the character’s expanding licensing programme. Specific UK products, prices and release dates have not yet been confirmed, but it’s one to watch if your Paddington fan prefers notebooks to toys.
Our tip: if you’re buying for Christmas, check actual UK stock and delivery estimates before making plans around any announced launch. We’ll update this section as products reach retailers.
Which Paddington gift should I choose?
For a younger Paddington fan: a cuddly bear or the picture-book suitcase is an easy place to start.
For a London-loving Paddington fan: the telephone-box version has the strongest London souvenir feel.
For a bookworm: go for the eight-book suitcase, or Paddington’s Trick or Treat if Halloween is more their thing.
For World Book Day: use the costume as the easy option, or recreate the classic look from clothes you already own.
