Memory Bears and More

At RememBear Me, we are honoured to be trusted with creating bears that hold such deep meaning. Each one is more than a keepsake — it’s a way of carrying memories forward, stitched into something you can hold close. From garments filled with love to fabrics that carry stories, we treat every piece with the utmost respect, ensuring your memories are preserved with care.

Handcrafted with thoughtfulness, every bear is unique. Whether made to mark a celebration, to honour a loved one, or simply to treasure a special moment, our promise is to bring your memories to life — one stitch at a time.

When we created this gorgeous deer, we decided to leave it up to our followers to name it in a friendly competition.

Miss Jen, the winner, said: “Luna – means moon, perfect for a deer with a calm and serene presence” We love it!

Our Customers’ Bears

The following 7 bears were created in the memory of a much loved Dad, Grandad, and Uncle. Made from the clothes they are all very familiar with, and that are seen in family photos, and were then scented with his favourite aftershave. One bear went to live in the UK, one went via Abu-Dhabi to live in Switzerland.

Some lovely feedback:

Dani: Whenever I miss him I hug this teddy and it makes me feel slightly better.

Jenn: Best gift EVER!

Lill: I love that the bear smells of him. Miss him so much.

Sem: This bear is not just a keepsake, it’s a beautiful reminder of a loving man who left a lasting impact on my life.

Allo: I got a memory bear made from my granddad's clothes as a Christmas present.

I love it. It makes me remember the special times we shared.

He sits in my room and is always good for a chat. He doesn’t say much but he listens well 🤣

The following 10 bears (plus 1) were created from some clothing items of a much loved Mum, Granny, Great-Granny and Great-Great-Granny. Her lively and fun presence, and especially her sense of humour, is very much missed by all.

Not everyone wants a Teddy …. the story of Jimmy’s Bottom

The story goes: every time one of this lovely lady’s daughters liked something she had, mum would say: “I’ll leave it to you when I die”. This went on for years and years. One of her in-law sons usually asked (in jest): “What are you leaving me though?” Mum-in-law would say: “I’m leaving you my ar****le for a whistle!” 🤭 A perfect example of Irish humour! Promise fulfilled.

Some lovely feedback:

Sheila: I would highly recommend RememBear Me after the joy and comfort my grandson got after receiving his bear.

Ashley: Great job guys and my 3 love our bears with their granny's clothes, thanks so much again for such a comforting keepsake ♥️

Rita: Having lost both my Mam and brother within 5 months of each other things have been hard. Getting the RememBear Me bears made from their own clothes has been a great sense of comfort on the difficult days. Being able to hold something that they wore and has their scent on it brings back so many memories which I love. Thank you RememBear Me Bears. X ~ Rita

The following 8 bears were created from some clothing of Paddy, the son of the lady in the above post, who suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, just mere 5 months after his mum. He was an extremely talented musician, leaving behind not only a stunned family still grieving their matriarch, but also a substantial fan-base. It was our honour to create these bears for the family.
