A hugzly™ is a soft, lovable and huggable plush that lights up when someone you love is thinking of you. The hugzly app is required for setup. A hugzly™ reminds us that we are cared for, we belong and we are connected even when we are alone. These days we are sending virtual hugs but are missing out on the joy and comfort of a physical hug. Each hugzly bridges the gap of our ability to use technology to communicate with our need for human connection. Every type of relationship in any situation can benefit from the sense of belonging provided by a hugzly. Social IQ • A seven-year-old granddaughter who sees her soft, lovable, plush hugzly light up purple knows that her grandma is thinking of her and sending ‘light hugz’ at that very moment. The granddaughter squeezes hugzly tight to sense her grandma’s hug. Then she can send light hugz right back. She is able to act independently and develop her social and emotional IQ. Multi-User • Each hugzly connects with multiple loved ones and each is assigned a color so you know which loved one is sending you hugz. A granddaughter can connect with Grandma, Grandpa, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and friends from one hugzly. App-Connected • Behind the scenes hugzly is using the Light Kinections technology (patent pending). The hugzly app is easily used to connect and setup the Light Kinections™ technology to hugzly.

(Can use the app or the hugzly) Receive ‘light hugz’ and squeeze your hugzly to feel the love in the moment. Review the 24-hour secure history of hugz, sent and received, so you never miss hugz. All light hugz are stored for 24 hours on a secure cloud so you never miss a hugz. Wi-Fi needed • Made for everyone. People without a smart phone (children) can have hugzly function independently using Wi-Fi and no phone. Adults on-the-go can use only the hugzly app on their smart phone and not own a hugzly at all. They only need an annual membership. Mental health care is critical • We designed hugzly to remind everyone that they are cared for, they belong and they are connected even when they are alone. A percentage of proceeds are donated to mental health initiatives. Save the Wildlife • For every hugzly adopted, we will donate 5% of proceeds to wildlife conservation.
