Hugs by the Pound originated when I was making weighted blankets and selling them on ebay for those with special needs.

I sold so many of my weighted blankets, that I decided I would open an online store to get away from ebay fees, and decided on the name Hugs by the Pound.  After months of procrastinating, I decided instead of an online store, I wanted to do Hugs by the Pound in blog form.

While designing the site, I knew I wanted something fun and mostly for kids.  One day when we were out shopping someplace, my autistic son, Gregory, saw balloons and squealed with delight.  I knew then, I wanted the site theme to be balloons.

Some say it reminds them of birthdays, but after all, what child doesn’t just love balloons???

And by the way, I will have my weighted blankets available for sale again, soon.

My new blog will be up and running very soon.

Please bookmark this site or even better, add it to your own blog’s blogroll.

I’ll be posting on a regular basis very soon.
