For Anyone Missing Someone They Love
Huggs To Go dolls are photo dolls, often called daddy dolls or deployment dolls.
A deployment. A work trip. Sleepaway camp, a first day of school, a grandparent across the country. Families spend time apart, and children feel it most. A Huggs To Go doll holds a photo of the person they miss, and a recordable doll plays that person’s voice, so there is always someone to hug until they are home.
Families have used them since 1999, and military families still call them daddy dolls and mommy dolls.
How it works
- Pick a design. Military prints for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, the Ribbon Flag, classic and fashion prints, inspirational designs, and firefighter and police dolls. Each one is a soft, 12 inch plush doll.
- Add a photo. Slip any 2 by 3 inch photo into the clear pocket over the embroidered face. One face or a whole family, and you can change it whenever you like.
- Record your voice (recordable dolls). Record your own 10 second message in person, or over the phone or computer, including a voicemail you have saved. Re-record as often as you like, or lock the message so it cannot be erased by accident. Changing the batteries does not erase it.
Photo dolls are $16.95. Recordable dolls are $19.95.
Made to be hugged
Every doll is hypoallergenic, spot cleanable, colorfast and safe for all ages. Non recordable dolls are machine washable: put them in a pillowcase, wash on the delicate cycle in cold water, then fluff dry. You can even write a name or a short message on the doll with a waterproof fabric marker.
