Keepsake bears in 2013

As 2014 starts, we have been looking through the photos of all the Blazer Bears we have made in 2013. Each picture tells a story and is kept, if not for the gallery, then for our own workshop photo album, as a record of the variety of clothing and design idea of each individual bear. We loved making so many different keepsake bears last year and what is so wonderful are the letters,messages and pictures we receive from our customers once they have received them. Some keepsake bears are surprises, some are keepsakes from school days or sporting teams and some simply as memories of special times.

Many thanks to everyone involved in making Sophie’s Blazer Bear – she has just been delivered and is absolutely stunning !!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for producing such a wonderful keepsake bear for us.  We gave it to my boss at school today as part of her retirement presents.  She was overwhelmed!  Absolutely loved it – as did everyone else

Thank you so much for the surprise delivery of our Rugby Bear today.  I’ll give it to my husband next month for his birthday.  It’s absolutely brilliant, so well made and with all the bits we wanted on it.

Over Christmas the workshop was working at full capacity making sure all our handmade bears reached their homes in time for the 25^th of December.  Some were given to teachers as end of term gifts, some to work colleagues at the Christmas party and some wrapped and put under the tree or ready to be delivered by Father Christmas.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the bear made for my Husband! He absolutely loves “him”, has named “him” and “he” currently sits in pride of place in the living room….

I could not have asked for a better anniversary gift and it is all down to your creativity and expertise.

Can I just say your bears went down a storm as we had to distribute before Xmas Many Thanks.

Last year we attended and linked up with a host of new schools to make leaving presents for children moving on to secondary school in year 6 and 8.  One special keepsake bear was made as a very special request between Christmas and New Year for a girl whose family were relocating. She was having a special ‘Farewell Party’ and as a gift at the party we were asked to make her a Blazer Bear. They were so keen to give her a memory to take with her, which is why we wanted to make sure she received her keepsake bear by the 2^nd of January. The Mum was so thrilled and wanted to add a testimonial for our website.

I met Blazer Bear at the Dulwich College school fair and fell in love – my daughter is leaving JAGS to join a new school and will miss her peers and friends very much, this is a beautifully hand crafted bear that will never date and even 14 year olds love a good old fashioned bear especially made of something that will always be important to them! They did an amazing turn around between Christmas and New year – their service was impeccable. Thankyou so much!

We have the first keepsake bears of 2014 ready to start, including an anniversary gift and Manchester United Football shirt.  We are really looking forward to all the Blazer Bears we will make next year and we would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a very very Happy 2014!
