Top 5 Moments to Send a Pocket Hug (That Aren’t Just Birthdays)

Not all gifts need a big occasion.

Sometimes, the most meaningful ones come when they're least expected. That’s where Pocket Hugs shine — tiny tokens with big hearts, ready to deliver comfort, support, and love when words fall short.

Here are five beautiful moments to send a Pocket Hug that have nothing to do with birthdays...

1. Pocket Hugs for First Day Nerves

Whether it's starting school, a new job, or just stepping into something unknown, those first-day jitters are real. A Tortoise Pocket Hug tucked into a backpack or bag says: “You’ve got this. Take it slow, and keep going.”

2. A Pocket Hug for Long-Distance Love

When you're far from someone you care about — a partner, parent, grandparent, or friend — sending a Pocket Hug is like saying “I’m right here with you”, no matter the miles.

 

3. A Pocket Hug for Tough & Difficult Times

We all have rough days (or weeks). Send a tiny bear hug to a friend who’s overwhelmed, grieving, or just stuck in a funk. It won’t fix everything, but it will remind them they’re not alone.

4. A Pocket Hug for Big Achievements

Finished exams? Landed a job? Achieved a goal? A Pocket Hug is a playful way to say “I’m proud of you!” — especially when you want to send a little cheer without going over the top.

5. A Pocket Hug - Just Because

You don’t always need a reason to send love. A Pocket Hug can be a small daily reminder that someone’s thinking of you — quietly, constantly, and kindly.

Our animal Pocket Hugs aren’t just cute – they’re such a thoughtful gift to send to someone, whatever the occasion.

Each one is ready to be sent through the post with a thoughtful verse or personal message, and tucked into a pocket, purse, or palm.
