Personalisation FAQ

Personalising your teddy is super easy. To see the steps involved have a look at our How To Order page.

We will send you a visual mockup of your order via email for you to confirm before we begin the manufacturing process.

Yes, ofcourse. Just let us know as soon as you realise!

Everytime we receive an order our design team will create a mock-up image of the desired personalisation. We then email this over to the customer for final confirmation on the design.

Please note that we will be unable to make any changes or amendments to orders that have been approved for production by customers themselves.

Fundraising FAQ

Our goal is to support a wide range of good causes in the UK, from established well known charities right through to local independent causes.

You can select a different Charity to donate to for every teddy that you order. Currently we are unable to split donations for individual orders.

But you can donate to two separate Charities if you were to order two teddies for example.

This may vary from charity to charity. We will contact you via email to let you know when the donation has been made on your behalf.

We’re also making this a viewable option from within your online account with us.

We operate just like any other online retailer. You can browse and order our items – the only difference is we donate 10% of every order we receive to a good cause. A good cause that you the customer chooses!

This doesn’t affect the price of your order at all.

We operate like any other Ecommerce website (online shop). We enable our customers to order beautifully personalised teddy bears and soft toys for a wide range of occasions.

For every order we receive, we donate 10% to a good cause that the customer chooses.

All donation amounts we display represent the amount the charity will receive – a 10% donation means a 10% donation!

For example, if you order a personalised medium sized teddy (£19.99), then the charity of your choice will receive £2. It’s really that simple.

We pay donations raised through shopping to your charity every month providing the ordered item has been delivered and received by the customer.

For example, orders placed and received in January will have their donations made at the end of February. Orders placed in February will receive their donations at the end of March, etc.

There are no minimum amounts required, if you raise a donation of £3, then that’s what we’ll send.

You can view the status of every donation within your account. A donation will typically move from ‘pending’ to ‘approved’ to ‘paid’ over the course of a couple weeks after the order has been received.
