Between this dreary winter weather and daylight savings darkness, I’m always either sleepy or somber lately. The only cure for my seasonal depression? Stress-relieving stuffed animals!
My best friend Kate Steinberg (content creator and TikTok star) introduced me to the wonderful world of Warmies. Slightly scented with lavender, these weighted plushies are so calming and cozy!
Steinberg exclusively told Us, “I first started gifting Warmies as baby shower gifts, but once I tried one for myself…it was game over. I love unwinding after a long day with my hamster Warmie and then switching over to my Warmie night mask for bed. The lavender scent and gentle pressure puts me right to sleep!”
Warmies are my emotional support stuffed animals. You can heat them up in the microwave for soothing warmth or chill them in the freezing for cooling relief. I’ve snuggled up to my Warmies when I have a stomachache, back pain or anxiety. And these Warmies also come as slippers, eye masks and neck wraps!
In my opinion as a shopping editor, Warmies make the perfect gift for all ages. Get to know these cuddly cuties below!
