These tiny handmade worry dolls carry a big tradition behind them. Rooted in Mayan folklore from Guatemala, each mini themed worry doll is crafted to hold onto a specific worry — so you don't have to. Whether you're gifting one to a stressed-out friend, a worried teen, or treating yourself, there's a theme that fits just right. With 14 themes to choose from, these make a thoughtful, meaningful gift that's genuinely unlike anything else.
According to Guatemalan tradition, you tell your worry to the doll before bed and place it under your pillow while you sleep. The doll takes on the worry for you, and by morning, it's said to gift you the wisdom to face whatever's troubling you. Also known as Worry People or Trouble Dolls, these little figures have been bringing comfort for generations.
⚠️ Warning: CHOKING HAZARD — Small Parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.

Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Clozist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.
With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.
Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?
We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.
Why 2 bottles?
Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.
