Done by Deer
In our search for beautiful, safe, and thoughtfully designed baby toys, the In den Olifant team was thrilled with Done by Deer. Founded in 2016 by Danish Helene Hjorth, whose surname means deer in Danish, Done by Deer designs wonderful essentials for babies and toddlers. Each product tells a story: from soft first cuddly toys, comforters, activity toys, and stackable animal toys to practical drinking cups and tableware for little hands. The secret of Done by Deer? All products are designed in-house in Denmark by Helene Hjorth and her design team. They design with safety, durability, and timeless beauty in mind, so children can play, explore, and grow for years.
At In den Olifant, we value brands with a story, craftsmanship, and a touch of wonder. The Danish Done by Deer fits perfectly into our vision: products that stimulate creativity, imagination, and independent play, are safe for small hands, and simultaneously enhance the nursery. The Scandinavian design encourages learning through play, sparks curiosity, and brings color and warmth into daily life.
From cuddly toys and wooden baby toys to children's cutlery and decoration: Done by Deer shows that sustainable, beautiful, and functional can go hand in hand. For parents, grandparents, godmothers, or godfathers looking for high-quality children's products with character, it is a brand that always surprises.
