Gratitude is a sentiment both you and the family share with the new addition.

Best for Families Experiencing: Grief/Loss

In this situation, sending tools that begin an open dialogue with the grieving child is very appreciated.

The gift of sleep may be one of the most appreciated, especially by parents. The Relaxation Collection provides both tired parents and children the resources they need to calm their bodies down and drift off to sleep (because let’s face it, one of the biggest struggles when bringing home a new member, or two, to the family is sleep). For children struggling with chronic pain or illness, Sloth Snuggler’s interactive story uses progressive muscle relaxation techniques to guide them through a soothing routine, to ease them into sleep more gently. 

Best for Families Experiencing: Classroom/Teacher Support, Addiction

If someone both you and the child love struggles with addiction, the Bigfoot Snuggler teaches them how to seek out positive attachments in their life for a better sense of security by building their self-esteem with self-love messages. If a little one is having a hard time understanding the hurtful actions of others in the classroom – Bigfoot is also an excellent gift to promote positive self-esteem so they feel valuable and worthy of love, regardless of others’ actions. 

Best for Families Experiencing Loss of Home, Cancer, NICU

When a family is learning to cope with the loss of a home or a medical diagnosis, high-stress levels are a natural response for everyone involved. When life feels out of control, Slumberkin’s Stress Relief Collection is a valuable gift that reminds both parents and children to take a few deep breaths and tune into their emotional states. As Alpaca helps children develop new skills and routines around stress management, your gift of stress relief and anxiety management will follow them into adulthood.

Best for Families Experiencing: Ongoing Support

When someone we love needs medical or financial support, we call upon emotional courage to provide them with whatever they need. During unexpected circumstances, the Ibex Snuggler empowers children to do the same, teaching them how to take care of their feelings and see them as markers for understanding themselves and their families’ circumstances.

If that someone they miss is you – Otter acts as the perfect reminder of your love, whether near or far away.
