Memory Bear – 12" Keepsake Made from Loved One’s Clothing or Baby Clothes

Our handcrafted Memory Bear is a meaningful way to preserve special memories and keep them close. Each 12" bear is carefully made using clothing you provide—whether it belonged to a loved one who has passed or your little one who’s growing up too fast.

Many parents choose to use their child’s favorite baby clothes—those sweet little outfits they just can’t part with but don’t know what to do with. A Memory Bear turns those beloved pieces into a cuddly keepsake you can treasure for years to come.
