Publisher's Description of Sidney the Sea Turtle Hugaround
Hi! I’m Sidney, the calm and wise sea turtle Hugaround. I
love long swims (and longer naps!) and am always here to remind you to
take things slow and steady. My hugs will help you feel grounded and
peaceful.
Hugarounds are a brand newline from Hugimals World, and the most soothing warmable weighted plushie you’ll find! Here’s why we’re different and better:
Microwave-safe for soothing warmth, freezer-friendly for cooling comfort, and weighted (2.5 pounds) for stress and anxiety relief
Unique wraparound arms/wings that act as a comforting weighted neck wrap. Their cozy hugs are unmatched!
Designed with occupational therapists to bring a sense of grounding to anyone needing a hug, both kids and adults (age 2+)
Safer than other microwaveable weighted plush! Hugaroundsare weighted with mold-resistant clay beads, as opposed to flaxseeds or millet, which mold easily when the plush gets damp (and it will get damp!), presenting a health hazard for the user.
Intentionally unscented because lavender and other scents are irritants for many of us!
Made with super-soft, high-quality, non-allergenic materials for extra comfort.
Hugs on the go: Hugarounds’ weighted arms stay put on your shoulders as you move around.
