Shnuggle Eco Ellie Toy Drying Storage Caddy

The Shnuggle Eco Ellie Toy Drying Storage Caddy is a freestanding bath toy caddy that gives all those slippery ducks, cups and squirters a home once bath time is over. Shaped like a friendly elephant, Ellie uses her trunk as a handle so you can scoop toys up in one motion, then lets the water drain away through large holes at the base — turning the usual scramble of wet toys around the tub into a quick, tidy routine.

Because toys sit up off the surface and can air dry naturally, Ellie helps keep them dry between baths, which can reduce the risk of mould building up. She sits on a separate freestanding drip tray that catches any excess water, so you're not left with a puddle on the bathroom floor. There are no suction cups or wall mounts to fuss with — Ellie stands on any flat surface, making her easy to move, empty and clean.

A drying system, not just a bin

What sets Ellie apart from an ordinary toy basket is the two-part design. The caddy itself is generously sized but keeps a compact footprint, so it holds a good mix of toys in different shapes and sizes without dominating a small bathroom. The large drainage holes let water run out quickly rather than pooling in the bottom, and the drip tray underneath keeps that runoff contained. Together they mean toys go in wet and come out ready for next time.

Made with sustainability in mind

Ellie is made from 98% recycled plastic, so she does a practical job while keeping a lighter footprint. She's available in several modern colours to suit different bathroom looks, and her elephant shape adds a bit of fun to the space. Ellie is also an award winner, recognised with the Gold 2024 MadeforMums Award for Best Bathtime Product or Accessory and the Gold 2023 Junior Design Award for Best Innovative Product Design (Parent).

How it Works

• Scoop-and-drain trunk handle: The trunk doubles as a carry handle, so you can gather toys from the bath and lift them into the caddy in one movement.
• Quick-draining base: Large holes at the bottom let bath water run straight out rather than collecting around the toys.
• Freestanding drip tray: A separate tray sits beneath the caddy to catch the excess water, while toys air dry above it.
• No mounting needed: The freestanding design means no suction cups or wall fixings — Ellie stands on any flat surface and moves easily for cleaning.

Best For

The Shnuggle Eco Ellie Toy Drying Storage Caddy is a great option for parents who:

• Want a single spot to store and drain bath toys after each bath
• Prefer a freestanding caddy over suction cups or wall mounts
• Like the idea of toys air drying between uses to help keep them fresher
• Are looking for a bathroom accessory made largely from recycled materials
• Need something that holds a variety of toys but suits a smaller bathroom

Pandylane Pro Tip: Lift the caddy off its drip tray now and then to empty and rinse the tray — clearing the caught water keeps the whole setup fresher between baths.
