From Idea to Plush Toy: The Story Behind Our Company
In the spring of 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the idea was born for a plush toy that does more than just feel soft. As the world went into lockdown and visits to grandparents, birthdays, and real-life hugs suddenly became rare, we felt something was missing: real connection. Not through text, not through a card, but through a voice. Something personal. Something that truly resonates.
And that’s how the idea for our plush toys with a recorded message came to life.
🧡 A Voice Speaks Louder Than a Thousand Words
While most cuddle toys come with soothing music or standard sounds, we wanted to offer something more meaningful: a toy that plays your own voice. That warm, familiar tone that truly touches the heart. Whether it’s an “I love you,” “I miss you,” a last goodbye, or a cheerful birthday message – the impact of a familiar voice is incredibly powerful. Especially in times of separation.
👩💻 From a Student Room to a Meaningful Brand
We, two young entrepreneurs with experience running webshops (we previously owned a onesie store), started in 2014 from a student room. But in 2020, a new chapter began. Developing these plush toys was a special process: from carefully choosing the right design to finding an intuitive and easy-to-use voice recorder suitable for both children and elderly people. Everything had to feel right: the look, the feel, and the experience.
In the years that followed, we grew from a team of two into a warm, passionate group of people with one shared mission: to bring people closer together through something tangible and personal.
🎁 More Than Just a Gift
Our plush toys are not just teddy bears or bunnies. They are comforters, memory keepers, sleep buddies, and loving messengers. Used for separation anxiety in children, as comfort during grief, as support for people with dementia, or as an unforgettable gift for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or birthdays.
Every day we receive heartwarming stories from our customers. About children hearing their parents’ voices when they’re not at home. About a daughter who keeps listening to her late father’s voice. About a grandmother with Alzheimer’s who recognizes her grandchild through the plush toy. These stories move us every single time.
📦 And We Keep Growing
What started as an idea in a time of crisis has now grown into a beloved product that helps people feel close – even from a distance. We continue to expand our collection, listen to our customers, and improve where we can. Because if there’s one thing this journey has taught us, it’s this:
A voice can connect, heal, and be remembered.
And when that’s wrapped in a plush toy, it can be the most meaningful gift you can give.
