Gecko Hugs

The First Member of the World Of Hugs Family

Gecko Hugs is the first collection in the World Of Hugs family, featuring 8484 unique little geckos who love to hug. It all started as a simple image in creators mind but after discovering the world of NFTs, that picture took on a deeper meaning—an opportunity to make a real life impact. Step by step geckos will support and raise awareness about children and youth in difficult situations.

How will they do it? Through the donations to the Save the Children organisation whose mission is to keep children healthy, educated and safe, every day and in times of crisis.

Meet HappyPuppy

The Heart Behind Gecko Hugs NFTs

HappyPuppy is the creator of the Gecko Hugs NFT collection. This collection is deeply personal, inspired by a past filled with challenges and the comforting presence of stuffed animals. Growing up, HappyPuppy's parents were not around, but stuffed animals provided warmth and reassurance during difficult times. Thankfully, there were also kind souls, like a beloved grandmother and a supportive youth home that provided shelter during the teenage years—helping to avoid life on the streets. This journey created a deep desire to give back and support children facing hardship. For a long time, HappyPuppy didn't see a way to make a difference—until NFTs became an opportunity to combine art with purpose. The name HappyPuppy comes from a simple truth: despite a difficult past, the creator finds joy in life's little things—butterflies, flowers, big fluffy socks, and small moments of happiness. Together with little geckos that joy can now be shared with others.

FAQ

How do Gecko Hugs NFTs support children in crisis?

A portion of NFT royalties will be donated, with 10% from minting proceeds and 50% from optional creator fees going to charity.

Why doesn't this project donate all royalties?

Because our mission goes beyond just donations—we aim to continue raising awareness and making a lasting impact for youth. By reinvesting in the project, we can keep spreading the message, expanding outreach, and developing initiatives like NFT collections and future collaborations. This allows us to create sustainable support rather than just a one-time contribution.

Why is raising awareness about youth in crisis important?

Many young people struggle with hidden challenges such as mental health issues or family instability. Raising awareness brings these issues to light, connects youth with vital support, and fosters a compassionate community that empowers them to thrive.

Who is HappyPuppy?

HappyPuppy is the creator of the World Of Hugs project and Gecko Hugs NFT collection, inspired by personal challenges and a desire to support children.

When does the minting start?

Currently we are planning to open minting around end of May.
