'stuff' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'sell around leatherhead?' is the wordplay.
'sell' becomes 'push' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'leatherhead?' becomes 'l' (head letter of 'leather').
'push' placed around 'l' is 'PLUSH'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plush that I've seen before include "Fabric with a long velvety pile" , "Cut pile, softer than velvet" , "Rich fabric" , "Fabric; richly luxurious" .)
