Love Notes

Over 80,000+ happy hugs

Soft and cheerful!

These are so soft and cheerful! The perfect size for hugging or to use as a pillow. I bought these as a joke to brighten up chemotherapy. The nurses loved them and it was nice to laugh.

-Suzzaine

Perfect heart pillow

This was the PERFECT heart pillow to give as a gift. My brother had just had a quad bypass and I thought it would be an appropriate gift for him. It is soft, plush, and the colors are bright and cheery. All of his doctors,nurses, and support staff loved it. It was delivered as promised. It is just a different take on a heart shaped pillow. Love it.

-Diane

Funny post-surgery gift

I received one of these as a gift after having surgery, and laughed so much it (literally) hurt. I purchased one for my surgeon for a laugh, and he LOVED it and will use it with young patients to show the actual intestinal anatomy. Perfect gift for someone having surgery as it can be pressed against the abdomen when coughing or sneezing to lessen pain. Careful, because the laughter can hurt too!

-Kath

I love this squishy plushie

Bought this for my sister for her “comfort item” during chemo. She loves it and how soft and squishy it is. She says it’s been very calming for her during treatments. Very happy about this purchase.

- Holly

Super soft, great quality! Nurse approved

I love how soft this plushie is! I work the night shift as a nurse and I want one of every kind!!! They are soooo cute and perfectly made. Definitely recommend for children who are learning about the body or other medical folks who would appreciate how cute they are.

- Mackenzie

Weird but, totally adorable!

I never thought that I would have a giant stuffed organ! This thing is just too cute and it brings a smile to my face! My kids also like it, LOL! If you are looking for a wild and wacky gift to give your friends look no further! The toy does not feel cheap and it looks good on my bed to boot. I would definitely recommend toys from Nerdbugs. They are just too wild and wacky and adorable, and I bet nobody else has one!

- Michaela

Almost Too Cute!

Absolutely Adorable! I purchased one of these as a gift for my future sister-in-law who is currently finishing her doctorate. Cute, soft and the perfect size to display on a desk, shelf, or in a menagerie of other plushies.

-Jake

So Cute!

The whole Nerdbugs line is so adorable. I love the concept of body parts in a plushy form. They are really well made and are super soft. They are larger than expected as well which is a bonus. These will make great gifts! Do you have a favorite chiropractor or maybe a friend that is having back surgery? The spine plush is perfect! I know I would have loved the “uterus” when I was having my hysterectomy .
