Of the Big Five I've yet to get up close and personal with elephants - something that's going to be rectified when I'm back home in South Africa next week, I'm almost beyond myself with excitement.

Until then I'll have to satisfy myself with this very cute microwaveable teddy elephant instead - he's got a tummy full of wheat and lavender that warms wonderfully when you put him in the microwave, making him perfect for cuddling up to on chilly winter nights.

Now with some microwavable plush toys you need to the wheat sack out of their middle and place that in the microwave, in this instance you put the entire elephant in - a quiet word of caution, little kids have been known to get quite upset when they see their beloved new cuddly friend about to be zapped in the microwave, sometimes it's best to do this bit away from young eyes.

If you choose the SuperSaver delivery option with this microwavable teddy elephant then there'll be nothing extra to pay to have him sent to your home.

I adore elephants; they're the last of the Big Five that I've yet to see, which is going to be rectified at Christmas time.

They are still being hunted, and killed, for their tusks and deserve our protection.

Whilst this Animal Planet Interactive Elephant doesn't have any links to any of elephant conservation programmes, I rather hope that developing a love for animals in our young children will ensure responsible preservation of our planet's wildlife into the future.

The interactive elements of this Animal Planet elephant are light-up eyes and elephant sounds.

He needs two AA batteries, which are included, and is suitable for young animal lovers aged three years and over.

I love beanbags. I heart them. I would smother my house in them if left alone with a credit card for too long. There is something incredibly comforting about a bean bag, it brings back my childhood and makes me feel all snuggly. These rather lovely beanbags are now going for 20% off so grab one if they take your fancy.

There are some lovely beanbags lurking on these pages. I am a fan of the Elephant cubes, they are lush for creating an eclectic feel in your living room, or adding a little extra comfort in your bedroom or kitchen.

The different bags come in a huge range of colours, so you’re bound to find something that appeals to you and matches your home. One very clever design is the Elephant Multi that can be many different things – a bench, a sofa, a futon, a day bed and a playmat.

Then there is the Beatnik range for the slightly insane, the Elephant Jumbo for the beanbag aficionado and the dog bed for pet lovers.
