Buddy Blankies

In August 2001, a new addition to our family brought about the invention of the Buddy Blankies. My daughter had grown up with a wonderful pair of bunny loveys, but they were no longer manufactured. I started on a quest to find a lovey for my son, and soon discovered that there weren't any out there that were what I was looking for. And the ones that people recommended were no longer being made. So I set out to design a lovey that was practical for parents and irresistible for children
And so we have the Buddy Blankies. I designed it for the child to have something to hold onto when mommy or daddy aren't around, something to snuggle with, soft and warm, to give them some love whether during naptime, or just a quick comfort fix. The Buddy Ears came about from watching my daughter lovingly wear down her stuffed bunny ears and my son gnaw on anything knotted. Little hands have lots of material to love, rub, pull and chew on. As they grow, the Buddy Ears are great for them to grasp onto to drag their Buddy around.
I've also created another style of baby blanket and a toddler toy since then, and have shipped all over the world in the past four years. I couldn't be prouder of our accomplishments as a company and hope you'll come visit us to see for yourself why out motto is:
