Caring for Your Memory Bear

🧸 Memory Bear Care

The Classic Memory Bears are best suited for display or gentle handling. They have plastic eyes and nose, which could become loose if pulled on by a child. These keepsakes are not intended as toys.

If you're ordering for a child, I recommend the Cuddle Bear. It features embroidered eyes, a felt nose, and is double stitched in key areas for added durability — making it a more suitable option for young children to cuddle with gently.

For any bear intended for a child — especially if they may be sleeping with it or cuddling it often — please avoid sending very thin or overly worn fabrics. While I interface every piece of material to reinforce it, sturdier fabrics are best for long-term durability.

Please spot clean only using a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this may damage the fabric or structure.

If your bear becomes damaged (for example, if a curious pup gets into it!), I’m happy to offer a repair for a small fee, if the damage is repairable.

    I started researching for a local artist who could design a breastmilk jewelry piece so I was so excited when I found Julie! Her work speaks for itself - it is crafted with love, with attention to detail and made into a beautiful long lasting piece of jewelry. I now have a reminder everytime I look at my wrist of my beautiful rainbow boy and our breastfeeding journey together. Thank you Julie!

    My partner had a breast milk pendant necklace made by Julie for my birthday. I wear it every single day, it is so beautiful and is a constant reminder of the journey of being a first time mom. I couldn’t be happier with it and so glad my partner found Julie!

    Shortly after my beloved Goldendoodle, Penny, passed away after blessing me with 12 1/2 years of unconditional love, I stumbled upon Keepsakes by Julie’s Facebook page. Her jewelry is beautiful and not at all “tacky” like some company’s keepsake pieces. I immediately knew I had to get a ring made. I ordered the silver twisted ring with resin stone in “pearl”. It turned out exactly as pictured on her page! I received it quickly and am so happy with the quality. Communicating with Julie was always quick and easy. I could just feel that she puts a lot of care into what she does. I would most definitely recommend her business for any keepsake items you may want. The leftover ashes were returned to me and I feel very confident that my Girl’s ashes were handled with TLC.

    I lost my husband suddenly 12 weeks ago . I seen Julie’s beautiful work through social media and knew at some point I needed something made . I had a Halo ring made from his ashes along with some treasures made from his clothing . Everything was wonderfully and beautifully made with style and grace . I highly recommend Julie to handling your keepsakes.

    I am so happy with my beautiful breastmilk ring! It has breastmilk, pieces of my daughters umbilical cord, her birthstone crystals and some opal flakes to give it that shimmer! Julie was a joy to work with, answering any questions I had along the way and making the process so easy. Service was very fast and efficient, and I felt well appreciated as a customer. I will definitely be ordering again in the future. If you’re thinking about ordering, it’s so worth! Highly recommend.
