Meet this wonderfully unique and completely extraordinary Platypus Warmies — your new bill-nosed, paddle-tailed Australian comfort companion. The Platypus is one of the most astonishing animals on earth — so unusual that when scientists first encountered one they thought it was a hoax — and as a proudly Australian business we are particularly delighted to carry this one. That gorgeous soft brown plush body, that distinctive flat bill, those adorable paddle feet, and inside, all the Warmies magic. Pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds and your platypus becomes a warm, gently lavender-scented heat pack to hold close wherever you need it most. Freeze it for soothing cool relief. At 800 grams that deeply satisfying weighted pressure is always there when you need grounding and calm. Currently available for pre-order — order now to secure yours.

Perfect for neurodivergent children and adults, anxious kids, or anyone who has always felt a deep kinship with an animal that simply refuses to fit into any existing category. The platypus is a mammal that lays eggs, has a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver and venomous spurs — it has been doing things its own completely extraordinary way for millions of years and it is spectacularly successful on its own terms. This is the Warmies for someone who has always appreciated the genuinely, magnificently one of a kind.

Did you know? The platypus is one of only five monotremes — egg-laying mammals — in the world, and one of the very few venomous mammals. It is also one of the only animals that can detect electric fields, using electroreceptors in its bill to find prey underwater. Truly extraordinary.
