News – The House of Fandango

Exciting News: Hug Me Pillows is now part of The House of Fandango!

We have some joyful news to share! What began as Hug Me Pillows, a small passion project offering cosy, comforting pillows designed to soothe and support, has blossomed into something even bigger. As our vision grew, so did our name — and today, we are thrilled to introduce our new home: The House of Fandango!

While our name has changed, our heart hasn’t. We are still the proud creators of the original Hug Me Pillows, but now we’re also a growing sanctuary of mindful treasures. From uplifting “My Mantra” pouches to a thoughtfully curated collection of wellness and feel-good gifts, every item we create is designed to bring calm, confidence, and moments of self-care into your life.

At The House of Fandango, we believe that small gestures can make a big difference — a squeeze, a reminder, a mantra, a mindful moment.

We are so excited to continue this journey with you and can’t wait to share more joy, comfort, and magic in the days to come. Welcome to The House of Fandango!

New collaboration with Leighton Park School.

We’re thrilled to announce our heartwarming collaboration with Leighton Park School 💚

Leighton Park has launched a wonderful new initiative to help boarding students feel at home from the moment they arrive — and we’re so proud that Hug Me Pillows could play a part in it!

Together, we’ve created bespoke Leighton Park pillows, each filled with positivity, care, and comfort. Designed to promote wellbeing and a sense of belonging, these special pillows are gifted to every new boarder as a warm welcome to their school community.

Inspired by the school’s focus on student wellbeing and healthy sleep routines, this project perfectly aligns with our mission — spreading love, gratitude, and happiness through the power of a hug 🤍
