Sonoma LavenderMicrowaveable Aromatherapy Pillows, Lavender Scented, Spunky The Lavender Monkey 12" with Removable Washable Cover Lavender Scented

This bear is so snuggly & comforting. I love his lavender scent & he helps me to feel peaceful when I’m suffering through a migraine headache.

I bought this as a gift for a co-worker recovering from surgery and it was greatly appreciated.

So I ordered this toy and was pretty excited since I suffer from anxiety and insomnia. I went on the pricier side, expecting quality and great customer service, just to get a message today that the product is undeliverable and I will get a refund in a few days. Huh? I've never had such an issue on Amazon. In what way undeliverable? Really? Never received an attempted delivery message or an offer to replace the toy if there was something wrong with the initial one. I expected this to be a great company with high-quality products. Pretty lame and unprofessional from their side.Edit: I received the item the same day. Not sure what was all that about. The teddy bear is cute. It does smell like Lavender after you warm it up. It looks cuter in the picture though. So far so good. I love falling asleep to the smell of lavender. I think my pup does too. :)

Soft, cute & practical.

Likes: softness, huggable size, lavender is nice without being overpowering. Cuteness of the face. Fur did not have chemical smell. Ear tagged with the Sonoma brand. Item protected well in packaging for delivery.Not so well liked: missing the purple Sonoma bow around neck. Some wispies that shed from fur especially around ears and paws. Can see some seam lines at the back but not deal-breaker.I have not warmed in microwave yet but if I did I would definitely take it out of the puppy to do that based on other reviews. The lavender is inside its own seamed pouch.Overall: the effect of the lavender whether placebo or not is still soothing. If giving as gift the lack of the bow is not good but you could add your own. If like it for the look as stuffed animal it is a little pricey but if lavender is your focus then maybe worth it.Note that when I ordered it said only one left in stock So I did worry that it might have been a return or had an issue especially with bow missing but does not seem to be the case as far as the clean look of the puppy and lavender pouch. It’s a keeper for me.

Originally, this was purchased as a Christmas gift for my little Sister n Love April. She was born with Cystic Fibrosis and had been fighting the good fight for 20 years, even having a double lung transplant 2yrs prior. She had a standard poodle named Bentley, her favorite color was purple (CF color), and she loved the smell of lavender. So win win with this little guy. Unfortunately, the day before my husband was set to take her the gifts & a few days shy of Christmas, she lost her fight with CF. With everything going on we decided that it would be good to gift our daughter the little guy in her Aunt April's place. My daughter does not sleep a single night without her poodle from her aunt and tries to take it everywhere she goes. She will turn 4 soon and talks about her aunt all of the time & how much she misses her. This purple poodle has turned in to a family member of its own! The constant smell of lavender and the warm snuggles it provides for my daughter are a comfort & daily reminder of my Sister n Love and how much she impacted our lives in her short lifetime. It is everything, plus some, as described on the sale page! Thank you!!

Says microwave safe but only the inside bag is. My frog melted in the microwave on the second use. None salvageable unfortunately.

I purchased this as a gift for an elderly friend for Xmas. Seniors like simple, no hassles so was disappointed to hear from her that it was a bit of a hassle to enjoy the lavender aroma because you can't just simply place the Monkey in the microwave to activate lavender, you have to remove lavender packet, microwave it, then re-insert in Monkey to enjoy. By the time you go thru all that, the lavender aroma has dissipated somewhat.......and what Senior citizen will go thru those steps to activate lavender everytime they want to use it? 😕Disappointed that info was omitted in product description.
