Hug Me Pillows has debuts a line of character pillows designed to promote comfort and confidence in children.
Each character pillow is accompanied by positive messages that reinforce values such as kindness, bravery and confidence. They combine ultra-soft recycled polyester with soft padded arms that can wrap around the child.
“We strongly believe that every child needs a cuddle and benefits from an environment that fosters positive affirmations,” said Lucy Freeth, Founder of Hug Me Pillows.
“Our new Hug Me Pillows with Arms are designed to fill that gap, providing a comforting hug anytime they need it and supporting key character attributes such as kindness and honesty. We believe this product will be loved by both children and parents alike.”
Hug Me Pillows are now available for purchase online at www.hugmepillows.com.
