Huglet Pocket Memory Bear | Mini Keepsake Bear Made From Clothing
£20.00
Huglet Pocket Memory Bear
Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand but filled with precious memories. My Huglet Pocket Memory Bear is handcrafted from your loved one's clothing and makes a thoughtful addition to your keepsake order, using leftover fabric to create a little bear that's always close by.
Sometimes it's the smallest keepsakes that bring the greatest comfort. My Huglet Pocket Memory Bear is a miniature keepsake bear lovingly handcrafted from your loved one's clothing. Designed to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand, a Huglet is perfect for keeping close whenever you need a little comfort.
Because it uses smaller pieces of fabric, it's also an ideal way to make use of any remaining clothing after your memory bear, keepsake dog or cushion has been created.
Whether tucked into a handbag, kept on a bedside table or carried in a coat pocket, your Huglet is a little reminder that cherished memories are never far away.
Every Huglet is individually handmade in my North East England studio.

Why You'll Love It
A Huglet may be small, but it carries huge meaning. Many customers choose a Huglet as an additional keepsake for children, grandchildren, siblings or family members, allowing everyone to have their own little reminder of someone special.
Its compact size means it can travel with you, offering comfort wherever you go.
Because it uses smaller pieces of fabric, it's also a wonderful way to make the most of treasured clothing that might otherwise remain unused.

Why choose a Huglet from Deborah Jameson Creations
A Huglet is much more than a mini bear. It's a little keepsake with a big heart. Each Huglet is handcrafted to make the most of treasured fabrics that hold precious memories. They're especially popular as additional keepsakes for families, allowing siblings, children or grandchildren to each have something special to remember a loved one by.

Quantity
Clothing requirements.
To create one Standard Memory Bear, I recommend:
1–2 adult-sized clothing items, or
6–8 baby clothes
10–12 newborn-sized baby clothes
Most fabrics work well, however very thick or heavy fabrics are not recommended, as they can affect the finish of the bear. If you’re unsure whether your items are suitable, I’m always happy to advise before you send anything.
All clothing should be clean and in reasonable condition. Signs of wear are normal and often add to the character of the finished bear.
Personalisation (Optional)
Personalisation is available as an optional extra.
Embroidered foot pads
Up to 8 characters per line
Maximum of 3 lines per foot pad
£5 per embroidered foot pad
This is entirely optional and can be added if it feels right for you. Please note if you wish to have handwriting recreated this is an additional charge for each piece of writing and can be added here

I keep these pieces safely protected so that if you ever decide you would like to order additional keepsakes in the future your cherished textiles are perfectly preserved and ready to be used.
