Sidney the Sea Turtle

$45.00

Hi! I’m Sidney, the calm and wise sea turtle Hugaround, in soothing shades of teal with sensory corduroy flippers that add a touchable texture you can feel as you hug and hold. 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 new line of microwave- and freezer-safe weighted plush companions from Hugimals World, made to ease stress and anxiety through comforting Deep Touch Pressure and an emotionally supportive design. They are created for both kids 2+ and adults to enjoy and benefit from.

Hugarounds' warming, hands-free, therapeutic hugs have won many hearts and awards already, including Parents' Magazine's Best Toys, TODAY's Gifts We Love, a 2025 TIME Best Inventions Special Mention, and a 2026 Toy of the Year Award nomination for Plush of the Year. Here's why:

  • Microwave-safe for soothing warmth, freezer-friendly for cooling comfort, and weighted all over (approximately 2.5 pounds) for stress and anxiety relief.
  • Unique wraparound arms/wings act as a comforting shoulder wrap. Hugarounds' weighted arms stay put on your shoulders as you move around.
  • Designed with occupational therapists to bring a sense of grounding to anyone needing a hug, both kids and adults (age 2+).
  • Intentionally unscented because lavender & other scents are irritants for many of us.
  • Made with super-soft, high-quality, non-allergenic materials for extra comfort. 
  • Safe for all. Our products are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all global children’s product standards, including the European standards, which, chemically, are the most restrictive. 
  • Weighted with natural, mold-resistant clay beads, as opposed to flaxseeds or millet, which mold easily when plush gets damp from microwaving, freezing, and day-to-day use. 
  • Portable and small enough for travel, Hugarounds can calm nerves during trips, ease bedtime anxiety, help with focus while working or studying,  soothe shoulder pain, provide relief from cramps, and offer comfort at a doctor's visit.

NOTE: Read heating and cooling instructions at the link (or on the hang tag) before microwaving or freezing your Hugaround.

We're proud to bring you Hugarounds: a versatile relaxation tool for both kids and adults, and a unique & lovable gift for all occasions.

The Bat

We are keeping Berkeley (renamed Batty Bat after a Seasame Street song)
to live at Papa & Grams house. We warm him in the microwave so 2 Grandkids can share. He hangs round our necks and he is so cute, cuddly plus warmed up, helps us go to sleep. 4 1/2yr old Big brother and 2 1/2yr old Lil Sister both Love him. Puts Sissy to sleep first and then moves to sleep with big brother. Glad Gramma ordered
Him along with some other friends that we will be gifted for home at Easter!

Loved by big and small people

My household full of adults and semi adults have loved our new Hugimals. We haven’t even given them out to the toddlers yet. I highly recommend as a gift or comfy self purchase

Great materials and design, but didn't work for us

They are cute design and materials, but both the hug ball and the Indigo the octopus hugaround don't really work for us as a weighted comforter. Weight is simply too light and weight surface is too small. Indigo the octopus sits nicely on the neck, but weight surface is small to get a "hugged" sensation. For context, me and my family members are pretty petite and lean in frame, so we had high hopes about the product.
