TIME: Hugimals named a best comforting gift for toddlers

"This weighted stuffed animal gives full-body hugs for all the calming comfort when your little one is melting down. It has proven sensory benefits and is extra soft, making it the perfect plush snuggle friend. My little one loves to hold, kiss, and cuddle with his Sam The Sloth—and I even caught my six-year-old sleeping with him the other night. I love that you can remove the weighted insert to machine wash the outer plush when it inevitably gets dirty from sticky hands. This is a stuffie that can grow with them well into adulthood too, thanks to research-backed stress-relief benefits for kids, teens, and adults."
