Celebrating Oprah's Favorite Things

WE'RE CELEBRATING (again!) ...because being named one of Oprah's Favorite Things should be celebrated every year!

Oprah's Favorite Things, The Patchwork Bear

Oprah's Favorite: a MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT

It's that time of year when Oprah reveals her favorite things, and we like to pause and remind ourselves how much we've grown since our award-winning MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT was first named on her exclusive list. From growing a talented team to outgrowing our current retail/sewing space.

We're still your little Main Street shop (literally located at 20 S. Main Street in Pennington, New Jersey). Through the magic of the interwebs, are available to everyone throughout the US.

Thank you for supporting my little bear business. It's been an absolute dream come true.

 

We created the MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT so you can give the gift of a Memory Bear to someone and they can choose the clothes themselves.

The Memory Bear Gift Kit includes:
- Shipping instructions
- Personalization on bear's feet
- Order form to write special request
- Optional Instructions to design the bear themselves
- Mailing bag to send the clothes to our sewing studio
 All the recipient needs to do is send us their clothes in the bag provided. And you just gave them the best gift ever- the gift of memories. 

The deadline to have a memory bear finished in time for the holidays was October 31st but you can still give a MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT! 

Order a MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT and give one to everyone on your list. You help them save the memories, they send the clothes to us in the mailing bag provided

 

ORDER A MEMORY BEAR GIFT KIT

 

Why so early? Every bear we make is meticulously designed to incorporate the unique qualities of the clothes you send. It takes time. A lot of time. We need to have this hard deadline to be sure we have the time to make each keepsake as special as it can to be. We will try to have orders received after October 31st complete but cannot guarantee it will be ready in time for the holidays. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

I ordered a Memory Bear before the deadline. Can I still have it made by Christmas? 

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee your Memory Bear will be complete in time for Christmas if we have not already received your clothes in the studio. You are welcome to send your clothes anytime but we cannot guarantee delivery by the holidays. 
 

How much time do I have to send in my clothes? 

We request that you send your clothes to us within one year of purchase. 
 

Is the bear made entirely from my clothes?

Yes. Every memory bear we make is made entirely from the clothes you send to us. We carefully design each pattern piece to highlight the unique qualities of your clothes then sew and hand-stuff each bear with poly-fil stuffing. 
 

How many clothes should I send?

We only need 1-2 adult size clothes to make one Original Memory Bear, but can use up to 6 different articles of clothing in one bear. 
 

What kind of clothes should I send?

Cotton, cotton blend shirts, t-shirts, dresses and pants work best. Please DO NOT send: leather, fur, heavyweight knits or outerwear, anything thick or bulky, costumes, beaded or sequined clothes, swimwear or underwear (no undies!)
 

Can I have my bear personalized?

Yes! We can personalize your bear and also offer other ADD-ON features like heat-transfer poems, heart/butterfly patches and more. CLICK HERE to see our Add-ons.
