Big thanks David and Lisa

Big thanks David and Lisa. I live in Finland and I tried to order their vest. but ( something ) by law. They are not allowed to sell to Europe. after many conversations via e-mail, David decided to send me both vests ( S and M size ) for free. I never thought something like this could happen anywhere. but it is true when we received the package and many surprises when we open the package. They also gave other vest accessories in the package. Their products are quality material made and all with love. The vest is really easy to use. we hope one day their products will be sold on Amazon so that everyone can order easily. Thank you so much David and Lisa ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 10 Stars

FINALLY! SOMETHING THAT WORKS!!!

Our son is in occupational therapy for severe autism and they recommend these vests and he absolutely loves it! He jumps all the time and living in an apartment makes it super hard to let him be himself but this vest keeps jumping for him down to a minimum! Would definitely recommend to anyone or kid who has autism! Punkinfutz has been amazing, they sent a really cute handwritten card to us and even threw in some Velcro balls and my son can’t put them down haha! Thank you guys so much!!!

As the purchaser for our Dept which is Special Ed, our OTs found this vest to be a quality product for students.
After getting a discount on an order of 4 vests, my Team wanted to get six more using different funds since these vests were so great. Not only did this company honor us half price to get 6 more, they made the whole purchasing piece super simple. I've purchased from LOTS of vendors over the past 25 years, and I appreciate a well-designed website for easy purchasing. Thank you.

I purchased a compression vest from PunkinFutz and I love it!! It was so fun and colorful to open my package, and I was so happy to see the handwritten notes that were inside. I have a wonderful product that will benefit my kids, but I also know that my money went to a business employing individuals with disabilities. I feel so good about my purchase and I can’t wait to use it with my preschool kids!

Great news about fellow William & Mary alumni!

I read the article in the William & Mary alumni gazette, and I was so impressed by the founders of this company! Their commitment to children--ALL children, either with disabilities or not, is inspiring. Because we are an anxiety ridden society--particularly now--I think their product line is of critical importance.

We have a granddaughter who has anxiety attacks, and so I immediately ordered the PunkinFutz vest for her. I know it will be of immense help.

I read about your company in People magazine. I have an autistic grandson who is 4 and I thought we could try the vest and pom poms. It looked like it was right up his alley!

Marble Maze Fidget

This is by far the best fidget for my daughter who is 11 years, keep her entertained, makes her fingers stronger and helps with her lack of articulation. Highly recommend this product.

Gorgeous, high quality items

I work as an OT for a school, and I have never seen a higher quality, sensory friendly product. The material and velcro is incredibly soft, and even my most sensory defensive students have no trouble playing with any of the paint balls or toys (I love the marble maze game!) The compression vests are beautifully made and handle a LOT of tough play. Thank you for these products! You have a fan in the Bronx!

I loved the personal handwritten notes

Item arrived quicker than I expected. I really like the personal handwritten note that came with the pompom pack that I had ordered thanking me for supporting their small business. I would definitely buy from them again.
