Testimonials
"I recently purchased the Weighted Dog Bichon 1.5kg for my mother, who has advanced dementia, and it has been a wonderful addition. This realistic, fluffy white plush dog is soft, comforting, and has a lifelike feel due to its weight. My mother adores it, and it has significantly improved her mood. I highly recommend this product for providing comfort and companionship to loved ones with dementia." Shane (May 2024) "We placed the order and received our beautiful Cat, Dog and Baby doll the next day for our clients in the Private Hospital. We took them into the lounge and the faces of our clients just lit up. It was just great to see them reaching out wanting to hold them. One client, who hadn't been communicating or opening her eyes was found singing to the baby doll. Another had the dog all wrapped up in a blanket to keep it warm and was warning all others to stay away from it and the cat found a home with another client who just couldn't get over how beautiful her eyes were. We decided to order three more for our Rest Home clients as we were really pleased with the results we saw in the clients in the hospital. They are the perfect weight for the elderly. One client's family member is now wanting us to order one especially for her brother as he used to love cats and she thinks he will respond well to having something he can have sitting on his lap to pat again." Many thanks for the quick delivery Marina H |

Our sensory products are useful for reducing stress and anxiety.

The weighted animals help with connection and companionship, while the weight in the animal brings sense of presence, grounding and calm. |

What's New
![]() Sensory is for EveryoneWhen people hear the terms sensory input or sensory regulation, they often associate it with children—particularly those with sensory processing challenges or neurodiverse needs. Sensory play, therapy tools, and weighted blankets are commonly marketed for kids who need support with focus, emotional regulation, or calming strategies. However, sensory input is a fundamental part of human life at all ages. We all engage in sensory activities daily—often without realising that they help us regulate our emotions, focus, and overall well-being. Why do we associate sensory with children?Children are naturally more expressive in their sensory needs. A child might seek movement by jumping on a trampoline, crave deep pressure through hugs, or feel overwhelmed by loud noises in a crowded place. Because sensory needs are more obvious in childhood to those living or working with them, interventions such as sensory-friendly classrooms, therapy swings, or fidget toys are widely recognised as tools for kids. But what happens when kids grow up? How Adults use Sensory Input for RegulationEven if we don’t think about it, we constantly seek out sensory experiences to help us stay balanced. Here are some common ways people regulate through sensory input:
Recognising Sensory Needs for a Better LifeBy understanding that sensory input isn’t just for children, we can better support ourselves and others in maintaining emotional and physical well-being. The next time you catch yourself rocking in a chair, squeezing a pillow, or reaching for a stress ball, recognise that your body is seeking sensory input. Paying attention to what feels good or overwhelming can help you create a sensory-friendly environment that supports your daily life. Sensory needs don’t disappear with age. They simply become less obvious to observers. But once we recognise them, we can use them to our advantage at every stage of life. Sensory regulation is a lifelong need for all.
