I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'sell around leatherhead?' is the wordplay.
'sell' becomes 'push' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'leatherhead?' becomes 'l' (head letter of 'leather').
'push' going around 'l' is 'PLUSH'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
