My Story

Hi, I’m Sadie. Welcome to Bonny Bears.

Based in beautiful South Wales, I specialize in creating bespoke memory bears and keepsakes. Since 2013, I have been turning cherished clothing into huggable memories for families across the UK.

My journey began back in 2013 when my sister-in-law asked if I could make her a memory bear. Funnily enough, I had never heard of one before! After some research and a leap of faith, I made that first bear, and she was over the moon. I posted the result on my Facebook page, and requests started pouring in. What started as a favor soon became my full-time passion, and Bonny Bears was born.

Handmade Memory Bears for Every Moment

Each keepsake is crafted with love and care to create a gift as unique as the person it represents. Whether you are looking to preserve the past or celebrate a new arrival, I can create a special memory keepsake just for you using:

• Baby Clothes: Turn those onesies and baby grows into a keepsake bear to remember your little cherub's first moments.

• Birth Weighted Bears: A truly special keepsake weighted to match your baby's specific birth weight.

• Memorial & Bereavement: A tender way to keep memories alive using the clothing of a passed loved one.

• Milestones: From school uniforms to wedding dresses, we can preserve those important years.

Quality You Can Trust

Every Bonny Bear is made with the utmost care using my home sewing and embroidery machines, with fine details added by hand. All keepsakes are created in a smoke-free and pet-free environment, ensuring your precious items are treated with the respect they deserve.

(Special thanks to Pauline at Funky Friends Factory that I use to create most of my keepsakes.)

Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you enjoy browsing, and I look forward to creating a forever friend for you.

My Keepsakes are all made with love and care.

!!!  DISCLAIMER !!!

Memory animals are keepsake only and must NOT be used by children under the age of 14. As these keepsakes are made using fabric from clothing you provide, it is impossible to test each item of clothing to CE standards and therefore cannot be CE approved. I only use CE approved stuffing and safety eyes on all my keepsakes.
