My First Keepsake Memory Bear
- Description
- How it works
Remember buying your baby's first clothes? The tiny onesies, sleepers, receiving blankets. The smell of baby detergent...mmmm. It's hard to remember they could be so small. These clothes have memories of precious early days and we can save them.
Send us your baby's clothes and we'll create a memory bear to remember all those special moments: coming home outfit, receiving blanket, first steps, first holidays... Perfect way to keep those memories close to your heart.

Finished bear measures approximately 17 inches tall with embroidered eyes and nose for added charm and safety (no plastic parts or buttons!). Allow 6-8 weeks to create your keepsake (+shipping time).
This memory bear does not include personalization. If you would like additional personalization, you can add ADD PERSONALIZATION HERE.

It’s perfect!
My Memory Bear is beautiful! I love all the details. I sent instructions as to how I wanted the material used and they exceeded my expectations. I will treasure it forever.

I was so conflicted about what to do with my little one’s too-small baby clothes - I didn’t want to give them away, but they were taking up SO much space. This was the perfect solution! I nearly teared up when I received our bear - it brought me right back to all those firsts. Get the bear! You won’t regret it!
Very good
We did a Patchwork Bear from for our older son out of his baby clothes and this one was for his little brother. We love them both! This one was smaller and softer than the one we got for his older brother, and I prefer that. It's very cute! The sewers were kind enough to reach out to us to clarify how we wanted our fabric when there was question, and they followed our directions very well. We're very happy!
I love it
