Hypoallergenic soft toys. Soft toys aren’t exactly the first port of call for gifts for little ones. Some kids may suffer from allergies while others may be sensitive to dust and dust mites. On top of that, it is hard enough to find washable soft toys and go through the tedious process of washing and waiting for them to dry.
To save you from all that misery and trouble, we have found the best brands selling hypoallergenic soft toys for even the most sensitive little noses. Here are some lovable, asthma and allergy-friendly soft toys that can become safe buddies for even the tiniest of tots.
Nuzzlings.sg
If you have a baby or a toddler, you know how precious plushies can be. Perfect for snuggling, these soft toys make great companions, comforting our little ones through day and night. They also get dirty, and often. This means finding duplicates of the same plushies or going a few nights without them waiting for them to dry- yikes!
And that is why, we welcome with open arms, Nuzzlings.sg – the true saviour of parents and sleepless nights! Nuzzlings.sg, a Singaporean brand is leading the way in revolutionising the mighty plushy. A desire for a healthier cuddly alternative for kids, led Mum Stephanie to design and launch the perfect chouchou for sensitive noses. Today Nuzzlings.sg is a family business with mum Stephanie at the lead and grandparents managing logistics and fulfilment - a true labour of love!
Their star product, the Nuzzle Nana comes in delicate organic cotton with soft features including specially sourced micro-nub velcro strips. Hypoallergenic, these toys are designed with shed-free material, and a removable stuffing, so every Nuzzle Nana can be washed often and dried quickly! The Nuzzle Nana is also deliberately designed with dimensions that make it the cuddle-buddy little hands love reaching out for.
Baby-Scent-Locker©️ micro-pile ears are shed-free and great for playtime sans any irritation or sniffles. All Nuzzle Nanas come in their very own food-grade silicone pouch to keep them fresh as they accompany your little one around town!
We love how easy Nuzzle Nanas are to wash! Just remove the WipeClean©️ stuffing pouch, handwash with gentle soap and speed dry with a hairdryer on cool mode.
Perfect gifts, Nuzzlings.sg allows you to home-embroider a name on your Nuzzle Nana. Using only premium embroidery thread, that comes in the most delightful colours, these make personalised gifts that will be loved for many years to come.
