Hi, I’m Ruffles, a dark brown bear who loves wandering through quiet forests and fishing in crystal-clear streams.
I weigh 1.5 kg and am about 40-50 cm tall, perfect for big hugs.
My soft, fluffy fur is comforting to touch, and I’ve been hand-crafted as a weighted toy to help you relax.
Being weighted with washed sand, I help release serotonin and dopamine, making me great for those with autism, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, or anyone needing comfort.
My lavender scent adds to the calming experience.
Please clean me gently with a damp cloth and lift me by my body, as my arms and legs need protection due to my heavy body.
I also come with a fidget buddy on my shoulder to remind you of me wherever you go!
I am available for purchase now and can be delivered after November 20th.
Note from Abby, my maker:
I’m 12 years old and hand-weight these teddies to help people with mental health challenges.
All profits go to Te Tahi Youth, a charity that supports kids and teens with counselling and medical support.
Pick-up is preferred from Merivale.
Delivery in Christchurch or Selwyn is a possibility.
Postage is available at the buyer’s cost.
