Unbearably cute: Merchandise and gifts to get your paws on before Paddington 3 is released

Revisit the classic tales that started it all with a complete collection of Michael Bond’s Paddington books. This set makes an excellent gift for both young readers and nostalgic adults, allowing everyone to enjoy Paddington’s original adventures.

This collection in particular has a 5-star Amazon rating with over 1,000 reviews and has 15 titles, including the first ever Paddington title 'A Bear Called Paddington', as well as 'Paddington Helps Out' and 'Paddington Races Ahead'. The general consensus from customers is that they are great quality and perfect for gifting. Also, they "arrive in a lovely Paddington box with the spines of the books making a picture of Paddington".

A must-have for any fan, a plush Paddington Bear brings the character to life. This version from Rainbow Designs comes complete with his iconic red hat and blue duffle coat, making it perfect for snuggling or displaying on a shelf.

Customers are pleased with the quality of the bear, mentioning that it is "suitable for all ages from babies to adulthood". Others said that "it is lovely and tactile".

Essentially two bags in one, this Paddington Bear backpack is great for nursery, school or days out. It comes with an insulated lunch bag - that looks like Paddington's suitcase - which is great at keeping marmalade sandwiches (amongst other food groups) fresh. We love that the bag can be attached to the backpack, making it easier for your child to carry it independently.

Customers say that although it is small, "the main bag can fit a number of changes of clothes" and that the lunch bag can also be used for other things like wet wipes or stationery.

Fancy a trip to London? You can see some of Paddington's favourite landmarks (such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace) from the books and films from the comfort of a tour bus, whilst sipping on some warm drinks and enjoying some delicious cakes, scones and sandwiches (including marmalade, of course!).

Customers have commented on how memorable the experience was, with one saying, "The food was lovely, plenty of drinks and the staff went out of their way to help and accommodate us".

Younger readers can enjoy Paddington's picture books (illustrated by R. W. Alley) which are "not very long stories with colourful drawings", according to users. There are eight stories in total, including 'Paddington at the Palace' and 'Paddington and the Marmalade Maze'.

Customers say that these "books are ideal for bedtime stories or just for quiet time/or wind-down reading".

Even the tiniest of fans can have their own Paddington teddy, in the from of this bear-y cute comforter blanket from Rainbow Designs. Suitable from birth, we think it makes a lovely gift for a baby shower, as there are no loose parts, just soft material and nubs for little ones to chew on.

Customers have commented on the immense detail that's gone into the design: "It has a small tag with a suitcase picture on because of course where would Paddington be without his case. It also has the "Please look after this bear" as written by Aunt Lucy on the bottom corner which is a really sweet touch".

Little fans will have fun playing with these figurines based on four popular characters from the TV series: Paddington Bear, Jonathan Brown, Pigeonton and Lucky the dog. Suitable for ages 3+, they are easy for small hands to grip.

They are great for dolls houses or for travelling, due to their size. Customers have found a range of uses for them, with several saying that they've used them as cake toppers, then washed them and given them to their child to play with. However, a few of the reviews do mention that the figures may not always stay standing unaided.

If your little one has a Toniebox, this Paddington Tonies figure is a must-have for their collection. Stephen Fry's narration brings Michael Bond's stories to life in a screen-free manner, so they can listen to it before bed or whilst they're doing other activities such as playing, tidying up or colouring.

Our reviewer said: "My son loves Paddington so was thrilled when we got him the Tonies figure, it looks like the real Paddington Bear in figure form! It has a great run time of stories, including the original story of how Paddington came to London (which my son loves the story of)."

A charming Paddington gift for adults and children alike, this magical Paddington Bear Experience rolls out across multiple rooms, spanning 26,000 square feet at the Southbank Centre. You can fully immerse yourself in the world of the Peruvian bear, with games, activities and magnificent marmalade sandwiches.

Your little one will be able to dress like their favourite character in this "pawfect" Cord Paddington™ Padded Jacket from M&S. Customers have commented on how adorable it is, as well as it's practicality. One said: It's a "very cute and warm jacket for a young baby. The size is good size and it's practical for getting out and about".

However, it does sell out fast, so it's worth getting your paws on it now, ready for the cooler months!
