Why Huggs To Go?
Every family spends time apart. A parent deploys or travels for work, a child starts school or goes to camp, a grandparent lives across the country. A Huggs To Go doll gives the person left behind something real to hold: a soft doll with the face of the person they miss and, on a recordable doll, their voice.
What makes them different
- A photo you can change. The clear pocket over the face holds any 2 by 3 inch photo, so the doll can grow with your family.
- A voice that stays. Recordable dolls play a 10 second message that you can lock, so it cannot be erased by accident, and that survives a battery change.
- Built to be hugged. Hypoallergenic, safe for all ages, light enough to travel, and the photo dolls go in the washing machine.
- Since 1999. Huggs To Go was started by a mother who wanted her own boys to be able to hug her anytime.
Who they are for
- Military families. For deployments, long trainings and every goodbye in between. Many families simply call them daddy dolls and mommy dolls.
- New big brothers and sisters. A photo of Mom to hug while she is in the hospital with the new baby.
- Grandparents far away. A face and a voice from across the country.
- First days. Preschool, kindergarten, daycare and sleepaway camp.
- College students. A little piece of home for the dorm.
- Children in two homes. A way to keep the other parent close between visits.
- Hospital stays and get well gifts. For the patient, or for the family waiting at home.
- Remembering someone. A photo, and a saved voicemail recorded onto the doll, of someone who has passed.
