Get Sweet Dreams With Herbal Animals
We think if Dante were alive today, he would have another name for the ninth circle of hell: The airport. Travel is great, but flying… not so much. But we've found the perfect way to catch some Z's while relaxing on board, and it involves some seriously cute critters.
Enter: Herbal Animals!
Made with 100% certified organically grown herbs, seeds, and cotton, Herbal Animals are eco-friendly pillows that come in a menagerie of shapes. They have lions, tigers and bears (oh my!) as well as rabbits, turtles and cows. Basically, if you can imagine it in a picture book, you can find it on their website! But these little guys aren't made for kids. Despite the whimsy, Herbal Animals' eye and neck pillows are designed to soothe users of all ages. And while the creative designs are unique to Herbal Animals, the tradition of herbal eye pillows as a sleep aid is centuries old.
Our Pick?
We're absolutely in love with our Nelson Mane Dela eyepillow. Stuffed with camomile, lavender and sweet annie, he has a sweet and fruity aroma, specifically designed to reduce anxiety and lull you to sleep. According to the folks at Herbal Animals, lavender is known for reducing tension, relieving headaches, and curing insomnia. Coupled with his cute little face and adorable mini-mane, Nelson is practically guaranteed to give you sweet dreams. Plus, other passengers will smile when they see your scented lion make an appearance mid-flight.
Rest Easy
If the eco-friendly badge wasn't enough to catch your attention, you might be happy to hear that Herbal Animals donates routinely to Feed the Children, The Humane Society, and Save the Children.
