Hot Hugs Plushies Soothe Kids with Lavender and Chamomile

Hot Hugs are adorable little plushies that are packed with a wheat sachet that contains lavender and chamomile. Just pop the wheat sachet into the microwave for a few seconds, then place the sachet inside the Hot Hugs plushie for a soothing, all-natural toy that’s great for calming kids down at night. Lavender and chamomile are standby aromatherapy herbs for relaxation and de-stressing, making Hot Hugs a plushie worth putting in every kid’s toy bin.
