In 2022, a total of 35 new Hippo Mat™ locations are being released. They are being designed as we speak with your help! Not only can you win some awesome prizes for helping out, you’ll have the satisfaction that YOUR suggestion is on one of the coolest items of the year 😎
Last month we showed you sneak peeks of of a few of the lucky places around the UK to get their own Hippo Mat™ this. Over 10% of our available stock for those locations (Aberdeen, Barnsley, and Colchester) plummeted that very day!
This month, we’re pleased to show you a smattering of illustrations from even more locations including Doncaster, Oxford, and Portsmouth!
Everything you see has been suggested by someone who lives in that place!

Have Your Say
If you’re liking how things are going for the next generation of Hippo Mat™ designs for 2022 (35 new locations!), and you have faith in this awesome product (and us!), it’s highly recommended you place a pre-order. We’re only going to be making very limited amounts, and if it’s anything like 2021, they’ll sell out quickly…

Steps were taken to reach our ongoing goal of sharing the love of loving your local area, in a time which perhaps we need it the most. Last month, two more organisations were accepted to receive a free Hippo Mat™:
HMP Styal Mother and Baby Unit
“The mother and baby unit residents love the mat and have been busy showing the babies the sights of Manchester on it!
Unfortunately due to COVID many of our babies have been unable to go out on town so know very little of the world outside of the prison – which is really quite sad. The Manchester Hippo Mat has given them a brief glimpse of Manchester city and they all really enjoy playing on it.
Thank you once again for providing us with one!”
We RELY on YOU to keep sharing the good word about this to your friends/families/co-workers so that we can keep sharing the love of your local area and give back a little something to the community.
