Made to Be Safe, Soft & Treasured

Every teddy in our 1st birthday collection is made from ultra-soft 100% polyester plush and tested to meet EN71 toy safety standards. All bears carry CE and UKCA certification, so you can give with complete confidence — even to the smallest hands.

Our personalisation is applied using professional sublimation printing with EN71-3 certified, water-based inks that are safe for children and kind to the environment. The design is permanently bonded into the fabric — it won't peel, crack, or fade over time.

Each teddy arrives in a complimentary soft white gift bag — ready to hand over without the wrapping paper stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I personalise these designs, or are they fixed?

Every premade design can be personalised. You can add a name, date of birth, age, birthday message, or even a photo.

The design is printed on the tummy, with optional personalisation on the feet where you can include additional photos, images and text.

Are these teddy bears safe for a one-year-old?

Yes - all our teddy bears are made from soft plush fabrics and tested to meet EN71 toy safety standards. They carry both CE and UKCA certification.

The inks we use for personalisation are EN71-3 certified and water-based, making them safe to handle and hug.

How long does delivery take — will it arrive in time for the party?

We aim to personalise and dispatch all orders within 7-10 days. Delivery is free via Royal Mail Tracked and usually arrives 1–3 days after dispatch.

If you need it by a specific date, we'd recommend ordering a few days ahead to allow for production and courier delivery. You'll receive tracking as soon as your teddy is on its way.

What if I'm not sure what to write on the teddy?

No problem at all. We've helped hundreds of customers find the right wording. You could keep it simple with something like "Happy 1st Birthday, [Name]" or include a longer message.

If you're stuck, just leave us a note at checkout or drop us a message — we're always happy to help with suggestions.

Can I add a photo to a premade design?

Yes! You can upload a photo to each of the feet. We'll manually review and optimise your image for the best print quality. Original photos (not screenshots) tend to work best, but we'll retouch if needed.

What's the difference between premade designs and the 'Design Your Own' option?

Our premade 1st birthday designs give you a beautifully illustrated, ready-to-go layout - just add a name and message.

The 'Design Your Own' option is fully custom, where you start from scratch with your own text, photos, and layout.

Both options include the same free personalisation, preview, and delivery.
