Our story…

Story Cushions are lovingly handmade by a former infant school headteacher with years of experience nurturing children across South Wales.

Over this time she has seen how sharing stories can build special bonds, spark imagination and create calm, comforting moments.

Every purchase supports our local children’s hospice, making these cuddly gifts as thoughtful as they are meaningful.
