How Pocket Hug™ Was Born
During the pandemic, I had a friend who was struggling. She felt alone. I wanted to hug her — but I couldn't be there.
So I crocheted a tiny smiling plush. I added a note that said: "Whenever you feel alone, hold this and remember: I'm hugging you from afar."
She cried. She kept it by her bed. She said it was the most thoughtful gift she'd ever received.
I shared it online. It went viral. Now, thousands of people are using Pocket Hug™ to remind others that they are loved — even when they can't be there in person.
