Great Idea - Hug a Hero Doll - Kids Coping with Deployment

LaDonna · 11-07-2008, 03:00 PM

Hello ladies. My mother in law just gave my daughter the best present and wanted to share it with other military moms! It's a "hug a hero" doll. You can send in any picture and they will put it on the front of a doll for your children to cuddle and hug! It's the cutest thing. You can also go to build a bear and get a voice box and insert it in a pocket on the back with a recorded message from your loved one. So it's just like they are hugging their daddy/mommy.

Here's the site! http://www.hugahero.com/index.php

It is really the best idea! My Mackenzie just loves it.

Also, I know these ones are a bit pricey, somone on Etsy sales them for a lot less.

Daddy Dolls are a life saver. We have been though 3 of them and they are the most awesome thing ever..

We are going on a pre-deployment retreat next weekend and all the kids there get one from the officer spouses club (no voice recorder though, we have to get them seperate, but hey)

I could make you a cami purse and you could disguise it, no one would ever know.

My kids each got one from dad this Christmas and my 6 yr old and 8 yr old now refuse to sleep without it! They are wonderful. We got the voice recorder for them too. So I hear my husband's voice EVERY night (for several minutes!! hehe) telling each one a personal message. It's soo wonderful.

Also what is etsy??

If that's weird, then I'm weird right along with you cause I'm getting one of my husband who's deploying in January. Last year I got just a pillowcase one of him when he was supposed to deploy. This year I wanted a "daddy doll". My husband didn't want to do it and was all embarrassed when he had to stand there and get his pic taken for it, but he did it for me cause I wanted it awww
