Don’t Worry, Get Happi

Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt calmer? When you open your closet, are there certain colors you reach for over and over again? Researchers have examined the way color affects performance and mood. While there may be a lack of consensus over the significance –– different cultures tend to view colors in different lights –– there is little doubt that colors do impact people’s feelings.

Marketers also subscribe to the idea that color has an impact on the way consumers make purchasing choices. Generally, “sales” signs tend to be red, which connotes a sense of urgency. Our fast-paced world is full of urgent buys, but that approach is not appropriate for children.

Pastels may call to mind the peace of spring garden walks and easy summer twilights; bright colors call for attention. Young children gravitate towards these kinds of colors. Bright pinks bespeak the feminine; frog green (the easiest color for the eye to look at since it focuses right on the retina) beckons to young boys.

Color psychology seems to be at the root of the new line of products from Happi by Dena. The collection consists of lushly colored pieces, bright pastels, and gentle “cuddle-me” hues. Targeted at tiny tots and children, the Happi line was created by award-winning artist, host of the program “Embellish This”, and designer, Dena Fishbein, in partnership with Two’s Company, a gift and home décor wholesaler.

The Happi collection has a lot to feel good about –– there are quite a few fast-sellers. The Ruffled Baby Diaper Covers, which come in a range of styles, are all cotton and available for infants 6 months to 24 months.

The Reusable Boo Boo Cold Packs are must-haves for every house with small stuntmen; kids will be soothed by the dog, pig, monkey, and raccoon faces while parents will like the easy-to-clean vinyl.

Another major mover is the Set of 3 Suitcases Boxes: these light travel pieces come in either animal or vehicular designs with sizes measuring 3” x 5 ¾” x 7 ¾”, 3 ¼” x 7” x 9 ¾”, and 3 ½” x 8” x 11 ¾”.

See how profits grow with Dena’s Growth Chart. The charming animal or floral design is patterned onto a canvas with a wooden frame. Measuring 8 ½” x 38 ½”, these charts are pieces of functional art that brighten up a child’s room.
