And on our special day, we’re doing what’s just as important as celebrating self-care – looking after each other. For every product purchased on our birthday, we’ll donate $10 to Ocean Conservancy, the Child Mind Institute, or the body: a home for love. In this post, you can read more about what these charities achieve and choose which one you’d like us to donate to when buying a weighted blanket on our birthday. Did you know?Adding candles to a birthday cake originated in Ancient Greece: putting candles on a cake was a unique way to pay tribute to the Greek moon goddess, Artemis.

In the sustainability sphere, Ocean Conservancy works tirelessly to take care of our ocean. The Child Mind Institute is dedicated to bettering the lives of children battling mental health challenges. the body: a home for love is reshaping culture around how black women heal from sexual trauma – drawing on wellness, art, and storytelling.

Looking Back Birthdays are a time when we typically reflect on how a year has passed. Looking back, a few Napperhood highlights worth celebrating come to mind. A kid-sized Napper Early-on in 2020, we launched our kids weighted blanket, the Nappling. Not only did this expand our current weighted blanket product collection, it paved the way for a new retail partnership with Pottery Barn Kids. New seasons, new partnerships Since then, we’ve also released three new collections: our Tree Napper Summer Collection, our Cotton Napper Fall Harvest Collection, and our sublimely soft Eco-velvet Wintry Gems Velvet Napper collection. Over and above our seasonal editions, we enjoyed the company of gourmet popsicle brand, The Hyppo in launching the limited-edition Napsicle and health food brand, This Saves Lives for a collaboration that helped us all reshape our Halloween rituals. Mindful shopping is the new black We also launched our Black Napper, encouraging a mindful shift in the typical e-commerce experience with our #sleeponit campaign, on Black Friday Wrapping up, we’d like to extend a big, Bearaby thank you to our Napperhood community for all your support over the last two years.
