In partnership with Mariska Hargitay & her @TheJHF, this week @HugimalsWorld launched the Heart to Hug Pillow: a 5-pound anxiety-relieving pillow. The reaction has made me feel better about leaving media to make weighted plush for myself (ok and others) https://t.co/WsjDkEPdNw

Thanks for the milestone award, @Harley & @Shopify! I glanced at our @HugimalsWorld orders today and realized we've gotten orders from every state and around the world, but today was the first time I'd seen order from someone on my STREET, a few doors down! So cool✨

Thanks @Shopify & @harleyf for the milestone award and for being fans of @HugimalsWorld!

Big influx of @HugimalsWorld orders during this debate. Cuddly stress relief for the people! 🧸✨

I created @HugimalsWorld to help myself deal with anxiety so I could sleep at night. Honored that they're now helping kids as well as adults. Thank you, Parents, for naming our Quinn the Koala the Best Stuffed Animal in your Kids Sleep Awards!

@VytalizeHealth @lagorio @Faris_Ghawi @Inc No. 19 is a fun one: @thewoobles makes crochet kits featuring Hello Kitty and Snoopy. Founders Adrian Zhang and Justine Tiu left high-powered careers to launch the crafting empire. @MarinaKhidekel reports.

Hey @weebly: an account is impersonating my company @HugimalsWorld and attempting fraud, contacting our social followers and telling them they've won a prize. Please fix this.

We hit the big time as an NYC brand! @HugimalsWorld and our partnership with @TheJHF and Mariska Hargitay got featured on @NY1 - a huge honor! 🗽Thanks @ShannanFerry !

I read @CassandraReport every day — excited to see them devote and issue to @HugimalsWorld’s collab with Mariska Hargitay and her Joyful Heart Foundation

How cool to have @OprahDaily feature my @HugimalsWorld founder story! Flattered & excited for all that’s ahead for the brand: New product launches, a big partnership, and helping many more people relieve stress through the science-backed power of a hug https://t.co/6Cb52SEp0E

Loved talking with BBC about toy trends and @HugimalsWorld ! https://t.co/WyeBttoL4g

It took being passed over for a promotion for @Nextdoor CEO Sarah Friar (@thefriley) to realize she had been set free to discover & pursue her true purpose. I really enjoyed speaking with Sarah for this @FastCompany piece for @mikehofman

"A year after the brand launched, more than 50% of Hugimals's customers are adults...who say the stuffed animals have helped with their anxiety and sleep." Thanks @thisisinsider for featuring Hugimals World and our founder @MarinaKhidekel in this piece 😎 https://t.co/RZczcbysAT

I love using @kindVR and @HugimalsWorld together as a relaxation and coping strategy for my teen patients during lengthy hospitalization- combo of virtual reality mindfulness + weighted comfort of hugimals is perfect! #childlife #coping #mindfullness #VirtualReality @MGHToronto

Such a sweet initiative involving @HugimalsWorld ! Mini-Bulldogs at Grant Wood Elementary now have their own Hugimals

So fun to host this @theriveterco event with @rachelsklar about building a revenue-driving product. We covered both digital and physical products (like @HugimalsWorld) and the recording will be available online.

My friend @MarinaKhidekel (who i met through writing/her editing) has a new company called @HugimalsWorld that makes stuffed animals that are like weighted blankets hugging you and helping to calm your anxiety. It’s something patients 👀 for… What should I name my elephant?
