What's the Hippo Hug difference? Whatever your tas

What's the Hippo Hug difference? Whatever your tastes, whatever your needs, our team will work with you to create a weighted blanket that is as unique as you. We enjoy helping you find the perfect hug, that will provide you comfort for years to come.

All of our blankets, whether they are ready to ship or custom designed by you are made locally in Calgary, Alberta. Making a one-off item involves a level of care and focus unparalleled by mass-produced goods. Our sewists don’t produce trendy, mass produced blankets and our company doesn't focus relentlessly on reducing costs. Instead, they treat each piece like a work of art that represents their craft.

Getting started can be as easy as 1,2,3. We would love to walk you through the process of selecting your Hippo Hug Weighted Blanket. or you can order online at https://hippohug.ca/product/weighted-blankets/

We were shocked to learn that scientists estimate

We were shocked to learn that scientists estimate that more than 250,000 tons of poly pellet pollution enters the ocean annually?*

It's the key reason is we don't use poly pellets (also known as 'nurdles') in any of our products. We learned early on that the pellets found in big box store weighted blankets are a growing environmental issue. To make a mass produced weighted blanket it you need hundreds of thousands of these pellets.

Clearly, we didn't want to add to that problem, so we searched high and low for a better option.

After much research, we came up with our proprietary disk system. These metal disks are covered in ceramic, a design that provides the best durability, ensures the blankets would be washable and allows us to customize blankets to your unique style and preference!

We got this great photo of a sweet little shopper showing off his green thumb in our 'Oh Canada' Mask!

We absolutely love it when you send us (or tag us in your mask photos).

You can find this mask pattern in our Customize Your Masks Section under Premium prints. Then you can choose from pleated, origami or fitted styles. (Z is wearing a size small but he could comfortably fit in a child-size as well)

We were so delighted to work with local teachers to create Clean/Dirty bags for your masks. Perfect for students, one side holds clean masks in a waterproof pocket and the other side made of washable cotton where you put your masks after you've worn them. When you've worn all your masks you simply toss the entire bag in the wash and then you place your clean masks back in the waterproof side for the upcoming week. We also added a handy center pocket that can hold other supplies like hand sanitizer or tissues. Best of all?!? Until October 31st these bags are 'buy one GIVE ONE' to teachers in our community!

After checking the forecast it looks like we are firmly in the 'wear a sweater in the morning and regret it in the afternoon' season. To keep your mind off the dip in the temperature check out these beautiful floral masks. These three layer masks have a shimery, chiffon layer stitched over two layers of quilters cotton. Part of our Luxe Mask Collection, you can find them on in our Ready-to-Ship Cotton masks.

So much to be grateful in these challenging times.

So much to be grateful in these challenging times. In the words of a fellow Calgarian @jannarden
“I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother”

Covid has brought our community many challenges but also the ability to be generous in ways we never imagined.

In the spirit of thanksgiving from now until the end of the Thanksgiving weekend (12 am Oct 13) EVERYTHING, you heard that right everything on the site will be buy one give one. No matter what you buy Hippo Hug will donate an equivalent item to a local charity or cause.

We can't wait to see you!!

Did you know all of our weighted blankets are mach

Did you know all of our weighted blankets are machine washable? This has been a question that has coming up more-and-more over the last few weeks. By using metal disks covered in ceramic your entire blanket can go in your washing machine.

So how should you wash your Hippo Hug Weighted Blankets?

❇️ First, check with your machine manufacturer before washing. Hippo Hug is not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of washing.

❇️. In a front loading machine add towels, then your blanket and then more towels.

❇️. Machine wash cold-delicate, do not over spin.

❇️. Lay flat to dry.

We do suggest spot cleaning the blanket as much as possible or by using their blanket over a sheet or light blanket.

BUY ONE GIVE ONE
Until October 12th when you purchase one of our Clean/Dirty Bags we will donate one to a local teacher!

https://hippohug.ca/product/clean-dirty-bags/

Our Clean/Dirty Bags are a great one-stop-spot to keep track of your masks and extend the lives of your Cloth Face Masks by protecting them from the rough-and-tumble world of your washing machine.

Keep your masks handy, clean, and sanitary. Instead of throwing your masks in your purse, or back-pack store them in our custom-made Clean/Dirty Bag to keep them safe and germ-free. Put your clean masks in the patterned water-resistant side and when you finish using them put them in the cotton-side. When you use all your masks, simply toss the entire bag in the washing machine.

Just look at how amazing these patterns are when made in our pleated mask style 😍😍😍
