Our Review
-
I can’t get over how realistic this Hedgie Plush looks. The coloring is spot on, the snout is pointy and kissable, and the little ears stick out just enough for gentle pets.
At about eight inches long, this is a bit bigger than a real hedgehog but that just makes it more huggable. The wispy fur on its back gives the appearance of spikes but in a way that’s significantly softer and more cuddly. This is perfect for hedgehog lovers of any age.

I don’t even know how to start. These Hedgehog Mittens are just so cute.
These knit mittens look like little hedgehog puppets and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who could wear them and not make them move around like little puppets.
They’re funny but they’re also very warm as they’re both knit and have a cozy lining. They are sized for women and are stretchy for comfort.

We’ve all been there, right? Just playing with a toilet paper roll when it gets stuck on your head and you can’t get it off. No? Okay, maybe that’s just hedgehogs, but all hedgehog parents have witnessed struggle.
This shirt is sure to get a lot of laughs and empathy from all small pet lovers. It comes in men’s, women’s, and youth sizes as well as in black, silver, navy, cranberry, and slate.

Designed for ages five and up Happy the Hedgehog is a soft, handmade plush with a range of sensations.
Happy has reversible sequins in place of his spines so you can flip the sequins up and down to change their color and create patterns or drawings. The plush is also weighted to almost two pounds and weighted plush toys are often more physically comforting than lighter ones.
These sensory elements are meant to keep all kids occupied but are especially good for children with sensory issues.
To extend the fun and engagement, Happy comes with reusable felt stickers that you can stick to his belly, hands, and face including eyeglasses, hearts, stars, bowtie, pizza, donut, and emojis.

Help them keep warm this winter with this fleece throw and more hedgehogs than you can shake a stick at. (But don’t shake sticks at hedgehogs. They don’t love that.)
A love the variety of styles on this blanket. Every image is a little different and drawn in a unique style. It’s hard to pick my favorite one.
The black and white scheme makes it easy for the blanket to fit into most room designs and the splash of green gives it a modern asymmetrical look.
This blanket comes in four sizes so you can get them a 40 inches by 50 inches throw suitable for a couch up to a 60 inches by 80 inches blanket suitable for a queen-sized bed.

This set of measuring cups is made of ceramic stoneware by the Creative Co-Op. The set comes with four measuring cups in 1.5 cups, one cup, half cup, and quarter cup sizes.
Each little hedgehog is hand-painted with little spike marks and cute faces and they stack one inside the other. As far as measuring cups, they don’t have handles so they aren’t exactly the most practical design but they are attractive either stacked or set side by side.

Dying charging cords are a hassle we all know and they always tend to break down right where it bends at the connection. Cable Bites protect that area from pulling or bending by slipping over the cord and giving it support.
While they’re doing that, they might as well look like adorable little animals trying to take a bite out of your phone and this one is a cute little hedgehog.
There’s a slit down the middle on the underside of the Cable Bite so you can wrap it around almost any charging cord. Plus it makes it easy to tell whose cord is whose.
