Blusss Finalist for the Heart for High Sensitivity Award with the MoodMagic Sleeve

Written by Blusss

Sometimes it’s hard to say what you feel or to express what you need — especially when your child is highly sensitive and quickly becomes overstimulated.
From that experience, Blusss created the MoodMagic Sleeve – a color-changing sensory wristband that helps children show their emotions in a gentle, subtle way.

We’re incredibly proud that the MoodMagic Sleeve has been selected as a finalist for the Heart for High Sensitivity Award 2025.
This award celebrates initiatives that bring more understanding and support to highly sensitive people through heartfelt innovation.

A Bridge Between Feeling and Understanding

The MoodMagic Sleeve was developed together with a primary school as a tool for emotional expression — designed for children who find it hard to put their feelings into words.
The sleeve subtly changes color with body warmth, helping teachers and parents recognize emotional states before frustration builds up.

It’s a small sensory tool with a big mission: to prevent frustration and create connection through understanding.

Highly Sensitive Children: From Overload to Resilience

Highly sensitive children perceive more — sounds, smells, emotions, atmosphere… everything feels a bit stronger. That can be confusing, especially at school or in busy environments.

With the right emotional regulation tools and a bit of empathy, these children can truly shine in their sensitivity — because that’s their strength.

The MoodMagic Sleeve supports children in emotional awareness and self-regulation, helping them understand what they feel and communicate it in a calm, non-verbal way.
It’s designed with care for sensitive skin and has a modern, sensory-friendly design that blends naturally with any outfit.

An Award That Truly Touches Us

Being named a finalist for the Heart for High Sensitivity Award feels like a warm recognition of our mission.
Blusss was founded by An Luyten, mother of a sensory-sensitive child, with a dream to create stylish, sensory-friendly solutions that genuinely help — for both children and adults who experience sensory overload more easily.

This nomination reminds us why we do what we do: to build a world where high sensitivity is understood, appreciated, and supported.

Because when we learn to manage our sensitivity, we can truly shine.
