Kia ora!

Welcome to our website! We are a team of six Manurewa High School Students creating Cuddle Buddies. Each of us have roles to make this business successful. Our CEO/Director manager is Deijalee Howell, Marketing manager is Ashley Naicker, Productions manager is Zandee Finefeuiaki, Finance manager is Rateeka Suwantrai and Communication managers are Shandi Tutagalevao and Merron Dnkha.

​

To create Cuddle Buddies our team purchases second-hand stuffed animals or we get donated generously. This makes our product environmentally sustainable as we reuse and unwanted toys. We also do not use plastic packaging to help our planet from excessive plastic. Once we have our stuffed animal toys, we wash them thoroughly to have them clean for our customers, especially if they have allergies. When the toys are clean we start hand sewing the heat pack compartment. All the Cuddle Buddies heat pack and heat pack compartment are hand sewn. 

​

We are giving 12 percent of our profit to Women's Refuge New Zealand! We are doing this by donating $3 with every Cuddle Buddy purchased. We are decided to donate to Women's Refuge as we hope that by creating these cute little comfort toys and using second hand teddies to do so we can touch the hearts of young children by showing them that they are loved and not alone through their stay at the Women’s Refuge homes. We hope we can achieve this goal through the second hand teddies as these teddies are symbolising a second chance at being loved.
