The range included toiletries, clothing, shoes, apparel, plush, confectionery, stationery, greetings cards, her own partwork magazine series & books. Polly is Felicity's friend. She is very intelligent and is good at almost something, but she is never self-satisfied.

Polly is very modest, helpful and kind and has frizzy hair. Felicity Wishes has been translated into over 22 different languages including Portuguese and published by Dinalivro, a Portuguese Publishing House. In Portugal, Felicity has been named «Fada Carolina» («Fada» meaning «fairy» in Portuguese). Little Blossoming became «Cidade das Flores» and the school is called «Escola dos Nove Desejos». More than 20 titles are available in Portugal, most of them reaching their 2nd and 3rd editions.

Daisy is another one of Felicity's friends. Daisy has a floral interest, and does not like going out on sunny days much because she wants to water her flowers. Daisy loves garden centres so she can see flowers. Daisy daydreams quite a lot, even at school. In one of the magazines, it said that Daisy's favourite colour is green. When Daisy graduates with double wings, she would like to be a Blossom Fairy. Daisy is helpful and kind and seems to be quite shy. Launched in 1999 Felicity Wishes has been published in 22 different countries, in 98 picture books, pop-up books, first read fiction books and activity books about her, her friends and her fairy world. Sales of the books are now in excess of 6 million copies.The series is about a fairy called Felicity Wishes and her friends Holly, Polly and Daisy and later on Winnie. Felicity lives in a fictional town called Little Blossoming. Little Blossoming, Bloomfield is in Fairy World. Fairy World is much the same as the human world with several key exceptions: there is no age, birth or death (fairies live forever), no men, no meat-eating, no money, no evil and no crime. Most of the books are set pre-graduation where Felicity goes to the School of Nine Wishes to learn and she eats cake and drinks tea with her friends at Sparkles Cafe. She has also travelled all over Fairy World. In these books Felicity Wishes and her friends both have a single pair of wings, because they still go to school; fairies who have graduated get double wings. Felicity has a constant companion, a little blue bird called Bertie Dishes, the only male character in the whole book series. Daisy is another one of Felicity's friends. Daisy has a floral interest and does not like going out on sunny days much because she wants to water her flowers. Daisy loves garden centres so she can see flowers. Daisy daydreams quite a lot, even at school. In one of the magazines, it said that Daisy's favourite colour is green. When Daisy graduates with double wings, she would like to be a Blossom Fairy.

She has been all over the Fairy World. A current advert for a new magazine from the fairy princess Felicity Wishes encourages little girls to dream about their future lives. "Every issue I try out a new job, from cake-maker to nurse, to popstar!" Felicity squeals. "Part 1 comes with a cute Felicity Wishes doll and with every issue, there's a sparkly new outfit to dress her in!" Felicity does not come with an astronaut's costume or a train driver's hat and seems to want little girls to grow up to be homemakers and pop tarts and use too many exclamation marks.
