Build-A-Bear Launches Comforting Heartwarming Hugs Weighted Plush

New Make Your Own Furry Friends to Debut on National Hug Day

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Did you know the average person gives six hugs a day?* At Build-A-Bear Workshop®, we believe there's always room for more, which is why we're celebrating National Hug Day with the launch of our comforting Heartwarming Hugs weighted plushes. As the only weighted plushes you can build yourself, this new collection features an adorable bear and a sweet sloth—each with a removable heart that can be warmed up and placed back inside to add cozy and calming cuddles. Weighing three pounds, these furry friends are noticeably larger and heavier than other plushes, offering an extra soothing hug experience.
