Gummy bears were always some of my favourite sweets and so I think it’s super fun that they’ve been incorporated into everything in 2026 including homeware, beauty and accessories. I’ve found a few picks that I thought would be fun to share… including one to eat too.
Starting off with the more subtle of the options, Dunelm (UK) has brought out a range of gummy bear drink ware with pastel gummy bears adorning the sides of glasses and mugs. I think these are very cute and perfect for those who don’t want their colours too bright.
I can’t get over how fabulous this press-on nail set is from Nailcissist (AU). If you enjoy the 3D art style on your nails then these would be perfect and the fact that each one is a different colour makes it look like you’ve just dunked your hands into a bag of Haribo!
I think that some gummy bear earrings would go perfectly with the 3D nails, especially if you want to go down the decora route, but also they’d be just as much fun on their own as a pop of colour in your ears. Fan Corner Creations (US) have seven colours to choose from, but you could buy multiple pairs to mix and match.
Sanrio have a whole range of pouches with the characters in gummy bear form. Even the zip has a hard gummy character themed pull – and there’s matching keychains too. Pick your favourite from Sanrio (US) or ARTBOX (UK)
These small battery operated LED lights from The Range (UK) are extremely cute and come in three colours; pink, yellow and green. I like the fact that they have a spotted design effect with the colour, making them feel a little like some of the candle holders I’ve seen recently and give that slightly translucent feel that gummy bears have.
When I was in Japan recently, the biggest trend was to buy the Bon Bon Drop puffy stickers or beads and put them inside the Pokopoko style cases, originally by Takeshita Kobo. They have little ‘bubbles’ built into the back and you can fill them with whatever you want (as long as they’re small enough) so maybe some fun gummy bear beads. Or even on their own, they give that gummy looking vibe without being bear shaped! The cases are available for most iPhones at Amazon Japan (JP).
If you can’t get hold of these cases, then why not stick a gummy bear directly onto the back of your phone with this iridescent blue phone grip from Accessorize (UK).
These colourful beads from Totally Beads (UK) are slightly too big to fit into the phone cases, but they’d be perfect for crafting. Why not make your own jewellery or stitch them onto an embroidery hoop for some fun home decor.
All of these picks have made me a little peckish so I’ve also included a recipe by Wow! It’s Veggie to make your own vegan gummy bears! They’re just three ingredients and can be made into a number of different colours and flavours.
