Hugging is Loving – New Bumpas Weighted Dolls
This Valentine’s Day, gift love with Bumpas™ plush dolls that hug you and are weighted for soft, cozy comfort. The dolls with their weighted arms, have hands shaped in half hearts that join to create a full heart, a perfect representation of love on Valentine’s Day.
“Hugging is loving,” says Bumpas’ creator, Drew Matilsky, co-founder of the brand Uglydolls. “Giving and getting hugs is a sign of trust and love. I created Bumpas mybumpas.com to give people of all ages a product that can love, hug, and protect them.”Features include a deep, plush exterior for a soft, cozy, sensory feel. The arms are long, and weighted giving hands-free hugs, emotional support, and an all-important sense of love and security. With almost three pounds of weighted arms and legs, they give simulated hugs and piggyback rides while hugging and holding onto you. They also have oval, wide open “eyes” on the back of their head to make sure that when you’re holding them, they are keeping you protected and safe while watching your back. The opposite side features closed eyes expressing that moment when we give and get hugs. “Hugging creates a connection often giving the feeling of love and support,” says Matilsky.The four Bumpas characters have their own color, personality and backstory told from the doll’s point of view. There is creative and quirky Shin Shin, daring and adventurous Zeek, gentle and soulful Oz, and cheery and encouraging Lucky. Bumpas are for everyone, especially those who crave a special warm embrace, emotional support, and sensory calming this holiday. Whether you have a special someone, or just want to give that feeling to yourself, Bumpas dolls are available at FAOSchwartz.com, LearningExpress.com Amazon.com, Macys.com, Walmart.com, and many independent toy stores. Matilsky says “Love is something we all crave. I created the dolls specifically to address the feeling that we all have when someone looks out for us, puts their arms around us, and tells us everything will be fine. Bumpas dolls express love and are always there for you. Let’s share the Bumpas love with the phrase my heart is yours #myheartisyours.”“Similar to Uglydolls, we are expanding products for the Bumpas family,” says Matilsky. Celebrities and their kids currently being loved, hugged, and protected by Bumpas hugs are Eva Longoria, Angela Bassett, Mario & Courtney Lopez, Mindy Kaling, Amber Stevens West, and Rebel Wilson and her partner, Romona Agruma who recently welcomed their first child.Facebook/Instagram/TikTok handles: mybumpas -
Baby Starters Crinkle Activity Books
One of the first activities you can do with your baby is reading! Baby Starters books are great for pre-crawlers to get use to colors, letters, shapes.

Breakfast Date with Grabease
Grabease the best Ergonomic Utensils for baby led weaning! They are made of silicone and are designed to safely nurture independence in little ones ready to meet their self-feeding developmental milestone. The patented fork and spoon sets were the first utensils designed with babies’ independence in mind, and they come highly recommended by Occupational Therapists. The ergonomic handle fits comfortably in babies’ natural hand grasp, making the hand-to-mouth motion easier! Using this set will also help strengthen their fingers while encouraging proper pencil grasp development (this will come in handy later!).
I had a breakfast date today with Colton (1) and Savi (4) and we test out the utensils and suction divided dish wares. The small compartments were perfect for sampling all the yummy foods we got. Divided for healthy portion sizes and designed to promote finger strength and proper pincer grip, our plates and bowls are made with strong suction bottoms to hold onto surfaces and prevent tipping and throwing. Self-feeding spoons and forks are sized for small hands and feature ergonomic handles and choke protection barriers. In sum, your table is set for a less stressful, more positive mealtime experience. Toddlers also love the divided plates to ensure that the food does not touch!

Mercurii Baby: Who, What, Where, When, Why
Why Mercurii?
So why name it Mercurii?
We actually had an entire other name picked out. I was working on the logo, website etc… when suddenly, popped up on my instagram scroll, was a company that had almost an identical name, and it was a baby company! Can you believe that?! haha I was bummed for a few days but took that as a sign from God, saving me from more headache had I launched with the original brand name.
So we went back to the drawing board. My husband and I sat on the couch for a few afternoons in a row jotting down some of the most ridiculous ideas. Many of them were made up words… Eventually I recalled a conversation with some dear friends of ours whose family is from Ghana. They were telling us how it is customary for newborns to have a traditional tribe name and then their english name. I remember them explaining how their tribe names are actually dictated by their gender and the day they were born. I then realized that both my babies were born on a Wednesday. When I looked it up in Latin, it translated into Mercurii. The kicker is, it ALSO means merchandise. And that was it. The rest was history.
Goals of Mercurii Baby
I started Mercurii Baby with many goals in mind. I am very passionate about many things, but in my core I care most about justice, truth, hope, and sacrifice. I believe these to be some of my main motivators in life and some pinnacle virtues that have the capability of thrusting life into a positive direction or even changing the trajectory of a broken one. That in mind, here are some goals that I am striving for here at Mercurii Baby over the next 3 years.
- Create healthy and innovative or essential baby products
- Give and be more involved in the adoption & foster care world
- Create a community of moms that share their experience and get filled up from the experience and knowledge of others
- Create a legacy
That last one is a big one for me. I always had a problem growing up with moving too quickly. I would do things fast, so fast that I would miss what was coming and what was in front of me. Which means I was always so busy that I was never prepared. But as I grew (praise God), I realized that leaving a legacy, is in essence, slowing down, looking up at what is present, and looking to where we are going. I had a moment where I looked at my babies and where we were going and realized that I still had an opportunity to leave a legacy for them. You see, leaving a legacy isn’t really about you. It is about the people that will come after you. I knew I wanted to “leave the place better than how I found it”. Something my mom and dad always used to tell me.
I want to create an opportunity for my kids and for others to have a place to work and be proud to work there. I want to build a company that is proud of its moral standing. That is honest and doesn’t ebb-and-flow with the chaos of the world but instead is centered, focused, and grounded in values and positive impact.
Gabriela Wentworth (Founder of Mercurii Baby) A mom avid about the transparency of the baby industry. Seeking to always ask the tough questions and not settling until the truth is proven. Her goal is simple: a healthier, better life for her babies and yours.
