Do these remind you of anyone?
When I drew this I had me & my mum in mind, but I realised you could maybe relate to it in different ways (sisters, bffโ€™s, twins, girlfriends..) so Iโ€™ve released 5 versions of this hug, each with a different quote.
All 5 of these are available in my shop in 2 different sizes & have free shipping for a limited time ๐Ÿ’•

UPDATE๐Ÿ”ฅ Iโ€™ve just added one more Welsh version too! XO
