Handmade Memory Bears: Betsy – Personalised Keepsakes

Our Memory Bears are more than just stuffed animals; they are symbols of love and cherished memories. Here’s why you’ll love them:

• Unique and Personalized: Each bear is handmade with care and attention to detail, using clothing that holds special memories.
• Emotional Connection: Holding a bear made from your loved one’s clothing can bring comfort and a sense of closeness.
• Perfect Keepsake: Whether you want to honour a departed loved one or celebrate a milestone, these bears are a beautiful way to keep memories alive.
• Thoughtful Gift: Give a meaningful gift to someone who is grieving or celebrating a special achievement.
• High-Quality Craftsmanship: Our bears are meticulously crafted to ensure durability and longevity.

Other occasions to gift a memory bear: Leaving gifts (old uniform), New school (previous school uniform), Sports kits, Nurses uniform, retail uniform – almost all uniforms can be used. Betsy measures approximately 34cms seated.

Clothing MUST be in clean condition and not heavily soiled. I cannot work with animal skins such as leather, suede or fur. Clothing that smells of smoke or perfume is accepted as I understand that certain smells evoke strong reactions when remembering people or events.

I accept orders via the post but I strongly advise using a signed for service as the clothing you are sending is precious and irreplaceable (Please note I cannot accept any responsibility for items that get lost in transit). When returning your bear(s), I too will use a signed for service and this has been included in the listed price quoted.

Once I have received payment, I’ll give you the date that I will start your order. Please note: Each bear takes approximately one week to make. Clothing will need to be received the week prior to this date. Atm, the next available order slots are mid October 2025

Clothing required: Please allow two items of clothing per bear such as two shirts or a shirt and trousers. A jumper and tee shirt, blouse and skirt, dresses or a combination of these. If in doubt please message to ask.

Please note these bears are not suitable for anyone under the age of 14years of age.

For more information or to order your bear, please use the contact form to ask  questions and to discuss the next steps. Thanks Sue x
