…and quite the season and quite the week and honestly…quite the day!
But we’re here to celebrate the close of a successful and exciting year for HuggaBuddies, and…
we couldn’t do it without you!
You’re the Robin to our Batman, the Goose to our Maverick, the Glinda to our Elphaba.
Ok, maybe not like that, but how do I get the feeling across that we are so so thankful for our customers!
I’m sure my comparisons gave you all the feels.
But here is our year in review to make you feel even more tingly all over.
- Mom made her first viral video! And many entertaining one’s since…
- I made my first viral video too, but mom’s did better!
- We launched our “Perfect Blankie” Baby Blankets!!
- We launched two adorable NEW characters – Bear and Llama – with all of their ultra-soft snuggle gear and bedtime storybooks
- We launched Baby Hoodies (in-person only!)
- We were featured on Fresh Living, Good Things Utah and Studio 5
- We presented our business at 1 Million Cups and made many friends and connections in that community
- We made awesome new marketing content that introduces our story and helps you get to know us better!
- We did several collabs with the best influencers and brands including The Toy Testing Sisters, Shop Ray Play, Lion and Light, and Spirit and Sprout
- We had booths at the Utah State Fair, Pinners, and the Family Christmas Gift Show (among many other awesome markets!) and we were blown away at the response we got from you guys at those shows
- I was on KSL’s Newsradio program “Speaking on Business” during drive time
- We quadrupled our revenue from last year to this year
- We made large, meaningful donations to both Primary Children’s Hospital and House of Hope and couldn’t be more thrilled and grateful for how you help us give back
And I’m sure there’s things that I am missing, but as I look back on this year, I cannot believe the personal and company growth that we have experienced.
We went out on a limb turning a family tradition and passion into a business not knowing if it would resonate and we now know, because of all of you, that we’ve landed on something really special.
We can’t wait to see you in 2025!!
**Tip: Being present and intentional consistently with our kids at the 3 most important times of day – morning, right after school, and bedtime – will strengthen our bond and improve attachment and communication.**
