Someone help me out here please..!

I'm trying to remember the name of some toy/jewellery box thingees that were popular in the 80's
They were animals that opened up to be jewellery boxes, and had a little plastic key.
The most popular was a swan, it was pink & white. I had one that was purple, I wanna say it was a tortoise but I don't remember clearly.. There were a few different ones though.

ANYONE know the things I mean?!?!!!!

This went right over my head - then i saw the purple pic and remembered my daughter had one.

What were those teddies called - ElliRoo - ButterBear - etc. Sort of hybrid animals ...........all three of mine had one - one was a lion - was it BumbleLion?

Well done Syd!! I had a picture in my mind but had no idea of the name ..... my daughter had all of those sorts of toys - I went off googling and when I came back Syd had solved the problem. I think that the brand name was Keypers - which might be useful if you're googling Sweet
