I am blown away by these teddys! We recently lost my grandad which has been super tough so I got one for my mum and her smile says it all… I then got one for my aunty and it’s just as perfect. Now my sister wants one because of how cute they are but forever feel like you have them close. So easy to order, come on time and never damaged! Thank you teddy rescue for just bringing a little bit of them back to us 💙
Absolutely beautiful, the seller kept in touch with updates and I honestly can't thank them enough. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Very highly recommended. Thank you
I was very doubtful about using this company at first because i found it on facebook and they is a lot of scam company. I pushed a side all the negative comments that i had read and decided to take a gamble. And the gamble paid off as it brought tears to my sisters eyes when i gave her it. Excellent quality and lost for words how to really describe it. Highly recommend
Ordered this and love the quality of it. I thought it would be a little bigger but I'm not complaining as it's still brilliant value for money. My daughter loves it 💞
What a lovely gift to have in honour of your loved one….the meaning itself is enough it’s something that will last more than a lifetime……would honestly advise anyone & everyone to get one
I can’t thank Teddy Rescue enough for the beautiful personalised teddy they made for me. The quality is amazing and the memorial picture printed on it came out so clear and special. It’s such a meaningful keepsake and something I will treasure forever.
You can really see the care and attention that goes into their work. The whole process was easy, communication was great, and the finished teddy exceeded my expectations. It brought so much comfort and means more to me than I can explain.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, high-quality memorial gift, I would highly recommend Teddy Rescue. Thank you for creating something so special. 🧸💫
This was my 2nd purchase, got one for my Husband and this last one my Brother-in-law, these are a great keepsake and would definitely recommend these to anyone who’s lost a loved one,
I actually bought this to give to the funeral directors who were taking care of my dear dad's funeral. I felt their room was too sterile and that some people would find it really tough making arrangements. Sometimes we all want a little bear to hold for comfort and I wanted to gift that to others who would be experiencing big loss, just like I have.
