PAX THE PENGUIN

Hi! I’m Pax, the sweet and snuggly baby penguin Hugaround, with extra-fuzzy, super-soft baby gray plush, plus a bright orange beak and feet that add charm and contrast. I may waddle a little clumsily on land, but when it comes to hugs, I’m a total pro! I’m loyal, big-hearted, and always here to cozy up, keep you warm, and bring a smile to your day.

Hugarounds are a new line of microwave- and freezer-safe weighted plush companions made to ease stress and anxiety through comforting Deep Touch Pressure and an emotionally supportive design. They a versatile relaxation tool 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+).
• 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
