Noise makers

I Was considering my product to be a sound maker, like a clicker, which would be small and easy to hide away, If a customer is feeling stressed they could make a sound which would give them a feeling of control because the sound maker wont do anything dramatic or surprising because you have to use it to make a sound. x

Stick Figures

I was considering making small stick-figures, or a 'make your own' kit which would keep the buyers attention, either to distract them of the world around them or to cheer them up by the small friendly characters they can make x

Teddy Hands

I was considering making small teddy bears which can fit into your pocket, these small teddies will have finger holes in their sides which are lined with a velvet material, your thumb would go behind them as it holding onto a hand, for me when i get stressed i like to hold something in my pocket, it works as a distraction and as a comfort.  x 

Mints

I was considering making mints or some sort of sweet, they could work at relieving stress but the creativity could be down to the box/packaging, which could be made out of paper or be off shapes x

Teddy Hands

I believe this idea would be the best one out of the four, it would mean the audience would be mostly women of all ages because it is something small and cute, as well as younger kids who still want their 'safety item' to keep them feeling safe.  Though I think it would be a good idea to make their stomachs openable and that they have a scented wheat bag inside, that way if it is a cold day they could simply take the bag out and warm it in the microwave to have a warm Teddy when they put the bag back in.

The Scents could be;

• Lavender, which is said to relieve stress and help people fall asleep.
• Pine, which is said to decrease anxiety and stress
• Peppermint, which is said to increase concentration
• Jasmin, which is said to ease depression and leave the person feeling uplifted
• Lemon, which is said to give the smeller a energy boost as well as eases depression
• Cinnamon, which is said to sharpen the mind and helps deal with fatigue
• Pumpkin, which is said to make you feel at home
• Rose, which is said to help calm irritability

___________________________________Names________________________________________

At the start their will be 2 teddies for each scent, the teddies names are Hush and Shush, Hush being the female teddy and Shush being the Male, this will be the product name.
I did ask a few of my colleagues what they would prefer, Hush and Shush or my other Idea which was Brun and Bun but the majority voted for Hush and Shush, saying how sweet it sounded.

Each Scent will have its own name so people can tell them apart, as well as the names the characters will be different colour, so the Lavender Scent will have purple colours and so forth.

• Lavender Series can be nicknamed= That Purple Flower - purple
• Peppermint series could be nicknamed= Is this mint? - Green
• Lemon series could be nicknamed= Life says Lemons! - Yellow
• Cinnamon series could be nicknamed= Challenge not given. - light brown
• Jasmine Series could be nicknamed= Want a Hug? - White

Limited addition;

• Pine series could be nicknamed= Must be christmas - Dark Brown
• Pumpkin series could be nicknamed= Today is spooky - Orange
• Rose series could be nicknamed= It's a birthday! - Red

I thought that I finally decided that the name of my company should be Big Bears Hug Back, or BBHB but after a while I thought that was too much, or too long and complicated, so instead I thought of 'Psychic Bear', as the product my company makes is to help calm nerves and other problems that may muddle with the mind.
