Design Your Own 1st Birthday Personalised Teddy Bear

Our premade designs come with a illustrated 1st birthday theme already in place - you just add a name and message.

This "Design Your Own" option starts from scratch, giving you complete freedom to create your own layout using any combination of photos, text, and personalisation. Both include the same live preview, free personalisation, and free delivery.

You don't need to be. The personalisation form walks you through each step, and you'll see your design come together in real time on the live preview.

Just add a name, pick a photo, choose a crop shape, and it builds itself. If you're unsure on wording, check our inspiration ideas above or drop us a message - we're always happy to help with suggestions.

Yes. You can include a photo on the tummy and additional photos on the feet if you'd like. Each photo can be cropped into a circle, heart, square, or splodge shape. You'll see how everything looks together in the live preview before you order.

Photos can be cropped into four shapes: circle, heart, square, and splodge. You can try each one in the live preview to see which suits your design best - just toggle between them and the teddy updates instantly.

Each foot can be personalised with either a short line of text or a small photo - but not both on the same foot.

You can have text on both, photos on both, or one of each. Feet personalisation is completely optional - some customers prefer to keep them blank for a cleaner look.

We aim to personalise and dispatch all orders within 4-5 working days. Delivery is free via Royal Mail Tracked and usually arrives 1–2 days after dispatch. If you need it by a specific date, we'd recommend ordering a few days in advance. You'll receive tracking by email as soon as your teddy is on its way.

Yes - you see it as you make it. The product page features a live preview that updates in real time as you add text, upload photos, and choose crop shapes.

When you add to cart, downloadable preview images are automatically generated so you can save them and check every detail.

Copies of these preview images are also included in your order confirmation email.

All 28 styles are available, including classic bears in blue, pink, white, brown, and rainbow, plus bunnies, elephants, lions, giraffes, highland cows, dragons, unicorns, koalas, sloths, and more.

Each one is approximately 20–23cm in the seated position and made from ultra-soft 100% polyester plush.

Yes. All our teddies are tested to EN71 toy safety standards and carry CE and UKCA certification.

The inks used for personalisation are EN71-3 certified and water-based - safe to handle and hug, even for young children.
