Hi everyone!

I want to sincerely thank you for your patience — I know I’ve been a bit quiet this month, and I truly appreciate your support and understanding. As a small business, things can move quickly and unexpectedly, and I’ve been swept up in the exciting final stages of preparing for production!

I'm thrilled to share that all plush prototypes have been finalized and are now off for safety testing — the most important and final step before full production begins! This is a huge milestone, and I couldn't have made it here without you!

I also wanted to explain the delay in sending out your surveys is because I chose to wait until the prototypes were finalized so that you could make your Cuddle Bug selections with confidence, knowing exactly what they'll look like. That said, I recognize I could have shared more frequent updates along the way — and I’m committed to doing better on that front moving forward.

Prototype updates and surveys are being prepped and will be heading your way very soon as well! Thank you again for your continued support, excitement, and patience. We're so close, and I can't wait for you to meet your new Cuddle Bugs!
