Two Honey Bears, Two Different Jobs
The Honey Bear Snuggler Single and the Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit both center on gratitude, but they are built for different kinds of comfort. The Snuggler is a classic plush with an affirmation card and no book, while the Weighted Kin Misfit is a limited, lightly weighted set that includes a fidget flower and a Grounding Gratitude booklet. Neither is a better or worse choice in general—the right pick depends on whether you want a simple snuggle buddy or a more structured mindfulness tool.
Below, we break down what each includes, how they differ, and what to consider before buying.
What's Included: Snuggler vs. Weighted Kin
-
Honey Bear Snuggler Single: Honey Bear Snuggler Single includes the plush and an affirmation card (style may vary). No board book is included. If you want a straightforward plush without extra components, the Snuggler is the simpler option.

-
Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit: Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit set includes a soft, lightly weighted Kin, a slow-rise fidget flower, and an interactive Grounding Gratitude booklet. This set offers more tools for building a gratitude practice, but it comes with more pieces to keep track of.

Design and Sensory Differences
The Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit has longer arms and longer legs than a standard Kin, and it carries a light, soothing weight. The catalog notes that this particular Misfit arrived lighter than expected, which is why it is offered at a discounted price. That means the weight is present but may be less than you might expect from a typical weighted plush. The Snuggler, by contrast, is a standard plush with no added weight.
If your child seeks deep pressure or calming sensory input, the weighted Kin may be appealing—but keep in mind that the weight is described as light, and this is a misfit item with limited availability. The Snuggler is a simpler, unweighted option for children who just want a soft friend to hold.
Side-by-Side: Which Fits Your Child?
- Honey Bear Snuggler Single: Best for children who want a basic comfort plush and enjoy collecting affirmation cards. No book or extra accessories. Simple to care for and ready for immediate snuggling.
- Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit: Best for children (and caregivers) who want a structured gratitude practice with a booklet and fidget, and who may benefit from a light, soothing weight. Note the limited availability and lighter-than-expected weight.
What the Catalog Does Not Specify
The supplied information does not include exact dimensions, weight in pounds or grams, or specific care instructions for either product. If these details matter to you—especially for the weighted Kin—check the product page or contact customer service before purchasing. Also, the Snuggler's affirmation card style may vary, and the Weighted Kin is a limited misfit item, so availability may be unpredictable.
Price and Value
- Honey Bear Snuggler Single: Honey Bear Snuggler Single is priced at $26.04 (compare at $42.00). At a lower price point, the Snuggler is an affordable entry into the Honey Bear line.
- Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit: Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit is priced at $34.10 (compare at $55.00). The set includes more components, and the discounted price reflects its misfit status. Consider whether the extra tools justify the higher cost for your family.
Making Your Decision
Choose the Honey Bear Snuggler Single if you want a straightforward, unweighted plush with an affirmation card and no extra pieces. It's a practical choice for a first comfort toy or a gift.
Choose the Weighted Honey Bear Kin Misfit if you're looking for a light weighted companion plus a fidget and a gratitude booklet to support a mindfulness routine. Be aware that the weight is lighter than expected and availability is limited. Either way, both products share the same gratitude theme, so you can feel good about introducing that value to your child.
