Do You Have the Guts?

Been gutted lately? Or felt butterflies in your tummy? We feel the best way to be cheered in such situations is to be greeted by a witty, smiling... internal organ!



For the past six years, gut guru and illustrator Wendy Bryan has been creating her I Heart Guts range of plush toys, accessories, tees and babywear that reflect her cheeky sense of humour and fascination for how our bodies work.


These super sweet creations have been causing quite the stir and, wonderfully, have become very popular as gifts or even badges of honour for folks facing difficult health issues and operations.



“A dear friend’s daughter was born a couple of years ago with only one kidney, and with some issues involving her remaining one. My daughter, an RN, bought the baby one of your kidneys. Now two-and-a-half years old — and doing well — this little girl takes the kidney with her everywhere, especially to the doctor’s office. Last week, when having blood drawn at the kidney specialist’s, she insisted ‘I want my kidney!’ The doctor and nurse were first baffled and then highly amused by the way the toy comforted her. We who love her are just grateful that your clever toy helped a toddler laugh instead of cry. Thank you.” - Becky F. (From iheartguts.com)


I Heart Guts make wonderful, (ahem) heartfelt gifts and accessories that are loved around the world!


We love these plush fellas...

I'm your liver

I'm your gallbladder

We also think this pin is rather clever...



... and love these cheeky Tees!


Also available in mens!

From pieces that celebrate the cerebellum to those that can help you show how heartily you heart your loved ones, I Heart Guts have inspired ideas that... have got under our skin!

Find these ostentatious organs online or come and give them a cuddle yourself!
