Thumbsie® Shortlisted for Best Health & Well Being Brand at Junior Design Awards 2025

We’re excited to share that Thumbsie® has been shortlisted for the Junior Design Awards 2025 in the category of Best Health & Well Being Brand!

These prestigious awards take place in September and highlight the best in design, lifestyle, and parenting. Being recognised for our work in children’s health and emotional well-being means the world to us.

Why the Junior Design Awards Matter

Run by Junior magazine, the Junior Design Awards are among the most respected in the family lifestyle industry. For over ten years, they’ve celebrated creative, innovative, and game-changing products.

Winners are selected by a panel of judges from design, lifestyle, and parenting sectors. The panel is known for its high standards and wide-ranging industry knowledge.

What makes these awards so special? They shine a light on both big-name brands and independent success stories. This year’s shortlist includes well-known companies like Marks and Spencer, MK Kids, and Little Prince London.

Judges Praise the High Quality of Entries

The Junior team praised the standard of entries this year:

“We were blown away by the incredibly high standard of entries. We feel incredibly lucky that we continue to attract the most creative, innovative, and inspiring brands in the world of children’s design!”

A Milestone for Thumbsie®

As we celebrate our 12th anniversary, this nomination feels especially meaningful. From the very first product to today, we’ve stayed focused on creating solutions that support children and families.

We design Thumbsie® to be colourful, appealing, and effective. Our goal has always been to help children break the thumb-sucking habit in a gentle and positive way.
