I was diagnosed at 17 with a particularly vicious form of MS. Since then…hospital stays and treatment days and hospital bags have become a way of life, so I know only too well that it’s the little things that make a difference.

So, the idea of Hugbag was born. All the bits and pieces that you think of halfway to the hospital, the holdall that you thought was under the bed. Hugbag is a pre-packed amenity bag, kept handy, that just needs to be grabbed when you need it. Each individual element carefully curated for a purpose, to address a problem that we know from experience exists.

Treatment days and blue light days can mean (what my mother calls) “Headless Chicken Syndrome”. Dashing around at 5am (treatment days start early!) or with an ambulance waiting, can cause all kinds of stress to you and your family, to say nothing of the emergency involved.

Buy one for yourself or gift one to a loved one, you won’t regret it (and neither will your “headless chicken” be it you, your mother or any other family member.) 

Take care,

John (founder of Hugbag)
