Transform your treasured memories into a beloved keepsake with our Original Shugglebear - Memory/Keepsake Bear. Handmade from the cherished items of clothing from your loved ones; these can be outgrown baby clothing or blankets, adult clothing such as shirts, hoodies, skirts, trousers, dressing gowns etc.
We recommend 10-12pieces of baby clothing, including at least one sleep-suit/babygro.
For a bear made with adult clothing, between 3 and 6 items will enough.
Any material not used will be returned to you, unless you specifically request me not to return it to you.
Our Shugglebear sits at approximately 30cm tall and are hand-finished, filled with polyester filling and safety eyes.
Personalize your bear with names and/or dates on the footpads to make it truly unique. If you are sending a shirt with a collar, or a hoodie, you may select to have the collar or hood re-sized and attached to the bear as well. Equally, if there is a pocket on an item you are sending in, you may request to have that added to the back of your bear too. (There is an option in the "Extras" product list to have a padded heart to fit into this pocket too)
Additional extras such as a bowtie , or a sailors bow on the head or neck, a flower or small padded heart can also be selected from "Extras for your Bear" which can be added to your order separately.
Your Shugglebear can be further customised to your Baby's birthweight up to 9lb (4Kg) Please go to the separate listing in our store for this option.
Each Bear has a bespoke wooden Shugglebear button.
At Shugglebears, we are committed to preserving your special moments with exceptional craftsmanship and heartfelt service. These bears make perfect gifts for any occasion, serving as a timeless reminder of the love and memories they hold.
Memory/Keepsake Bear
Your Shugglebear will be carefully made out the garmets you send to us and finished with safety eyes and safety tested hollow fibre filling. However the finished product will not have been rigorously safety tested. It is designed to be a keepsake item and should not be treated as a toy.
Due to the construction and filling, we advise that you do not submerge or wash your Shugglebear in water, as this may result in uneven shrinkage upon drying. Clean with a damp cloth only.
