Hot Hugs for Cold Nights

Oh My Goodness. Are you STRESSED by the holidays? Knots in your back? Sleepless nights? It is so common? But one company can alleve your holiday woes, since they specialize in body comfort products. From wee toddlers to busy moms and achey great-grandmas to hard-working husbands, there is something for everyone at Aroma Home. You have to check out their selection of cozy slippers, eye masks and body wraps to ease and relax your body. Even their calming toy line is designed to soothe  little ones!

You see, Aroma Home produces a line of toys called HOT HUGS. You can heat their tummy pack in a microwave and it releases a calming lavender and camomile scent. Your child can have their choice of 10 Hot Hugs ($30 ea.), including a Giraffe, Cow, Dog, Elephant, Duck, Monkey, Pig, Sheep, Lion and Cat. I received the Giraffe to try out. One night my oldest was a little “off” and there was a chill in the air, so I asked if he wanted the Giraffe. Boy was he excited at the prospect of having this roly-poly guy next to him. I heated up the giraffe’s belly pack for a minute. I had to let it cool down a little, since it was too warm. Once it cooled down, I stuck it inside the giraffe. Boy was there warmth and a wonderful scent eminating from our new friend.  He then kept my son warm and cozy on the coach. The giraffe is supposed to release a calming lavender and camomile scent, but I detected some lemon, as well?

When heating the tummy cushion of a Hot Hug, you want to be sure you follow the directions on the base of the box. They were hard for me to find at first. They suggest heating it for only 30 seconds at first and then increasing by 10 second increments. They do not want you to go over 1 minute of heating time in the microwave, that’s why I had to cool mine down. Plus make sure you put 1/2 cup of clean water inside the microwave while heating the cushion.

Hot Hugs are perfect for ages 3 and up. They are oh-so-soft and very round. Their eyes, nose and mouth are embroidered on, no loose parts. He has a cute tail on his behind. The pocket that hold the aroma cushion is velcro.

Overall, I think it’s a great, warm friend for those chilly nights. Perfect for kids from ages 3 to 9, would be my opinion. Heck, I can definitely see the appeal as a 31 year old mom! However there are a whole range of products to keep adults cozy!
