📢 Important Update from Nana’s Weighted Blankets

We wanted to let our community know that we’ll no longer be offering weighted toys made using Wild Republic plush animals.

Wild Republic has made the decision to stop supporting the modification or repurposing of their products into weighted items internationally. As a result, we’re no longer able to restock or custom-make weighted toys using their brand.

While we’re disappointed, we respect their choice and want to reassure you that we’re already working with new suppliers who support our mission of creating safe, high-quality weighted toys for all ages. 💛

We still have limited stock of Wild Republic-based weighted toys available—once they’re gone, they’re gone!

At Nana’s, every weighted toy is made with love in Australia using food-grade poly pellets and strong, safe liners to ensure comfort and durability.

Thank you for continuing to support our small business as we grow and adapt 💪

✨ Got questions or need a recommendation? Message us anytime—we’re here to help!

Weighted blankets and toys are a powerful tool for supporting children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and sensory needs. They can help calm the nervous system, aid focus, and offer a sense of security – especially in busy learning environments.

✨ Exciting News! We’ve Had a Makeover! ✨

After 15 years of helping Aussies sleep better naturally, we’re thrilled to unveil a fresh new look for Nana’s Weighted Blankets! 💫 That’s right – we’ve updated our logo to better reflect who we are today: warm, supportive, and here to help every age feel calm, comforted, and cared for.

This new look still carries the heart of what we’ve always stood for — quality, comfort, and genuine care — but with a cleaner, modern touch that we’re so proud to share with our community 💜

Why the change? Because just like our hand-crafted weighted blankets and sensory toys, we believe in evolving to meet your needs — while still staying true to our roots. Our original Nana started this journey in 2009 to support those struggling with sleep, anxiety, sensory needs and more. That mission hasn’t changed — it’s only grown stronger. 🌙

You’ll start seeing our new logo across our website, social media, packaging, and more. Same trusted products, same Australian-made quality, just with a fresh new face to match the love that goes into every stitch 🧵

We want to thank YOU — our loyal customers, families, therapists, educators, and supporters — for being part of our journey. This logo update is just one more step forward in our shared story 💕

Take a peek at the updated look and explore our full range of weighted blankets, lap pads, toys, and sensory aids on our website:
