Collection: Meet Xander the Super-Soft, Lavender Stuffed Bunny, Cat and Dog *Buy one we give one to a child in foster care!*

We are excited to offer a variety of microwavable stuffed animals that are both scented and weighted for an added level of calmness and security. These fun stuffed animals are made with durable materials and stuffed with lavender buds, which is known for helping to reduce the stress-inducing hormone known as cortisol.

Each stuffed animal is made from a super soft material that feels cozy and cuddly to the touch. These scented stuffed animals smell like lavender, which helps to keep them smelling fresh for extended periods of time. One of the benefits of weighted stuffed animals is that they help drive away loneliness and sadness - both for children and adults!

Benefits of Lavender for Children

There are many proven benefits of lavender for children that can promote improvement in a range of health conditions. Lavender can have a calming effect that has been shown to help with anxiety, insomnia, and even ADHD. Because of its calming properties, it is commonly used for kids who have trouble sleeping or who struggle to relax before bedtime. 

With Xander microwavable stuffed animals, you can get all the benefits of lavender in cute and cuddly scented stuffed animals that your kids can take with them wherever they go!

Uses For Xander

Xander stuffed animals are microwavable, scented, weighted, and highly huggable. The toy is the perfect size to cuddle with at night, play with all day long, or even snuggle up to on cold winter nights. Xander's unique scent comes from the lavender buds used in the stuffed animal, as well as the other earth-friendly materials used to make it. 

The scented stuffed animals include a pouch of lavender buds and Michigan cherry stones that can be microwaved in less than 30 seconds. After being microwaved, the pouch helps keep the stuffed animal warm for 20 minutes or more.

On the other hand, if your little one is already too warm, throw the pouch into the freezer for a while to help them cool down. The stuffed animals can also be hand washed and laid out to dry, so you don't have to worry about them getting dirty or losing their softness over time.

Xander's many uses include:

  • A travel companion
  • A bedtime buddy
  • A comfort item for stressful situations (a new baby in the house or a move)

Microwavable Stuffed Animals for Warmth and Comfort

Keep your loved ones warm and cozy during the cold winter months with a new stuffed friend. These adorable little critters are the perfect addition to any home or office. Not only do they provide the warmth of a snuggly blanket, but they also give off a calming, nurturing energy that helps to ease stress and anxiety.

Simply place your new friend in the microwave for 30 seconds, then place it on your lap or under your covers and let it work its magic!

Lavender-Filled Animal Toys for Soothing Sleep

This adorable line of microwavable stuffed animals scented with lavender is excellent for soothing sleep and helping to calm your mind. 

Lavender has many possible benefits, including reducing anxiety and depression, improving focus, improving sleep quality, and helping with pain management. Lavender can also be linked to reduced stress levels by triggering the production of serotonin in the brain.

Stuffed Animals for Children With Short Attention Spans

If you've got a child with a short attention span, you know that sometimes getting them to sit still can be challenging. The weight and scent of the Xander stuffed animal help alleviate children's sensory needs and aid them in focusing. The smell, weight, and heat of your child's new favorite toy will help your child recenter their focus and stay on task.

Friends of the Bunny Program

Lavender Life founded the Friends of the Bunny Program to help children in foster care. While we donate one Xander stuffed animal to a child in foster care for each one that is purchased, the Friends of the Bunny program goes one step further. This program allows you to buy a Xander stuffed animal and have BOTH donated to children in foster care. Help make more than one person's day (week, year, and life) a little more comfortable when you choose the Friends of the Bunny! We want to do our part to help ensure children in foster care have something snuggly and comfortable to love. 

Give the Gift of Xander

Xander Bunnies make an excellent gift for anyone who wants a bit of comfort or relaxation—and who doesn't? It's so soft and warmable, and it's like having a little bundle of joy to snuggle with all day long.

One of the best things about our Xander stuffed animals is that they make the perfect gift for anyone in your life. Even adults love the snuggly toys! If you're looking for a gift for someone you love, look no further than our Xander weighted, scented stuffed animals.

Our Story

Rooted in Love, Lavender, and LIFE

Watch the Video

We’re Vic and Vickie Bennett—high school sweethearts, married for over 30 years, proud parents of four amazing daughters, and lifelong believers in the power of love, imagination, and purpose. After years of creating and running spa businesses in NYC and Washington, D.C., we felt called to slow down and plant something new—thousands of lavender plants on our family farm in West Michigan. From that peaceful beginning, Lavender Life Company was born—founded on the values we live by: Learning, Imagination, Friendship, and Excellence (LIFE).

Our mission goes beyond wellness products. For every Xander Bunny purchased, we donate one to a child in foster care to remind them they are loved and not alone. It's part of our heart’s mission: “To be an engine to support kids at risk worldwide.” Every lavender-infused creation we offer is made to nurture, soothe, and spread love—from our family farm to your home.

Lavender Life Company and Little Buds Co. were created to offer products that feel like a hug and remind us all of our inherent worth. We aim to inspire simpler, softer living, joyful discovery, and meaningful connection—one lavender-scented moment at a time.

With grateful hearts, we welcome you to our journey—and yes, we guarantee every product we make. Because when you're with us, you're family.

Warmly,

Vic & Vickie Bennett
