Hugs From Heaven operates more as a mission than a company! - Fr Nicholas Dupre

We LOVE Hugs from Heaven! They make the perfect gifts! The 12” doll is great for newborns and toddlers, the pillow for any age and the key chains for new drivers and backpacks. They are lovely personalized too- add a name to Mary’s veil or the hem of Jesus’ garment. Our teens have taken their Mary and Jesus pillows to summer camps and on pilgrimage. Everyone needs a ‘holy hug’ and these are the perfect reminders! 💙❤️💙❤️Courtney Porceiuau

We love Hugs from Heaven and the Mary and Jesus prayer pillows. College kids love the Mary pillow (great birthday or Christmas gift) and I just bought Jesus for my grandsons! Thanks to Hugs from Heaven for introducing me to the Consecration to St Joseph! #hugsfromheaven #gotojoseph Anne Pitre

My 4 children ranging in ages from 5-23 all have a Hugs from Heaven dolls. Each one of them cherish their Jesus and Mary dolls and find a comfort in them . I recently had one of my daughters move into her own place and she specifically returned home to get her Mary doll. 🙏🏻❤️Hugs from Heaven. We also put their initials and baptismal date on the veils !

I have teenagers and they love their Hugs from Heaven dolls!!!!! Something special for them to keep and pass along to their children one day 🥰 Carrie Hebert


Each member of our family has their own Hugs From Heaven Jesus or Mary. Our three children sleep with them, travel with them and settle in at home with them. Instilling the love for the Holy Family early is such a gift. And we adore all the different ways these prayer pillows can be used from adult to child. Keychains are great for those driving or on a purse or booksac. Thank you #hugsfromheaven #gotojoseph - Aline Bourque

The hugs from heaven dolls are such a sweet heartfelt gift of love that every person experiences with them. I love to give them as gifts for baptisms and first communions so the kids can grow in faith with them! Tonya Hulin


I have given my grandkids Hugs from Heaven dolls and they LOVE them. They are only 20 months old and love to hug Jesus & Mary ❤️ Charlotte Blanchard


Our kids adore their Jesus and Mary pillows and don’t miss a night sleeping with them. They also have the keychains on their backpacks so Mary and Jesus can walk with them everyday at school. We’ve had ours for several years and they’re just as snuggly as ever. I love giving these as baby gifts also! - Anne Trahan

They aren’t just for my kiddos either-😉 they constantly remind me of Christ and Our Mother Mary’s presence in my ordinary and my need of their intercession! I also love that they help me build my little one’s faith and relationship with Jesus! 💙 Ashley Delaune
