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.

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.
