It started with a simple saying scribbled on a baseball cap.  Three little words warmed the heart of a friend struggling with cancer.  Then as cancer touched our own family, the saying became the signature of regular e-mail updates and phone conversations.  Since then those three words have become so much more.  Feel the Hugs® has become an every day greeting.
 
We wanted a character that embodied hope, positivity and fun.  We named our character Arely because it means brave, courageous and heroic.  People have asked us who designed Arely?  A friend from high school, Judy Mitchell, understood exactly what we wanted and illustrated our whimsical character.  Arely just puts a smile on everyone’s face! 

Our tees are perfect for far away friends, grandchildren, people that have lost their pets, hospital patients and their nurses, or anyone needing a hug.  Everyone  needs a hug!

We wanted our business to provide us an opportunity to give back.  A portion of all sales will be donated to cancer research.  We thank everyone who has given us their support and we hope you will think of Feel the Hugs® when you want to send a special message to your family and friends---and lets keep spreading hugs around the world one person at a time.
