A bit about the “hands” behind the SnoozGooz.
My name is Sonja and I am a proud grandmother of 4 little boys, a little girl and another little boy on its way. I am turning 63 in December and this Gooz gives me much pleasure to stitch together for little busy bodies. I cut and make them all by myself. My helper, Ivy, stuff the feet and heads for me and that provides her with an extra income as a single mother.
I am based in Pretoria and I send all over the country. I even have "happy " customers in Australia, New Zealand, Poland and Alaska.
The SnoozGooz started in 2022 when my daughter were expecting her 3rd little boy, which recently turned 4. He still loves his Gooz and never ever goes to sleep without it. It has been his companion and comforter ever since. She wanted something different and showed me a picture of what she had in mind. Little did I know that it will grow to a business which provides an extra income for me. I sourced different kinds of materials and there were many trials and errors but eventually I decided to stick to the soft furr.
