More Than Just Hugz
At hugzly, we believe in creating meaningful connections—not just between loved ones, but also with the world around us. From supporting mental health and animal welfare to fostering creativity and sustainability, here’s what matters most to us:
We invite you to immerse yourself in creativity and achieve a state of flow. A flow state occurs when you’re so focused on a task that you lose yourself in the moment, finding calm, clarity, and joy. Many creative motions, like drawing or writing, help reduce anxiety, depression, and stress, while boosting your mood and even slowing your heart rate.
Through Hearts Flow, we encourage you to express your creativity with hugzly as your muse. Whether it’s drawing, painting, writing, or choreographing a dance, we’d love for you to share your creations with us. Together, we can celebrate the power of creativity and its ability to connect and heal.
For every hugzly sold, we’ll donate up to 2.5% of revenue to mental health initiatives. We prioritize organizations that have a local, immediate impact, and we invite you to get involved by recommending mental health organizations in your community. Together, we can support those who need it most and make a real difference.
We’re proud to support the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). With a presence in over 40 countries, IFAW is one of the world’s largest animal welfare and conservation charities. From ending commercial seal hunts and whaling to rescuing and releasing wild animals affected by disasters, IFAW’s work inspires us every day. For every hugzly sold, we donate up to 2.5% of revenue to help protect animals and the planet we all share.
Sustainability is at the core of hugzly. Every hugzly is crafted with eco-friendly, non-toxic polyester fabric and filled with recycled plastic fibers. Our packaging is made from recycled materials, and up to 5% of all purchases goes back to research and development for even more planet-friendly materials. We’re committed to respecting the one planet we all share and making eco-conscious choices every step of the way.
These initiatives reflect our belief that small acts of kindness—to ourselves, our communities, and our planet—can create ripples of change. Thank you for being part of the hugzly family and helping us make the world a little brighter, one hug at a time.
