You have watched your little one grow from infant to present, and want to cherish those first memories by keeping some of their baby clothes. Some parents store them in a sealed box in the loft, others frame them on the wall, or keep them in a treasure chest at the end of their bed. I wasn’t sure what to do with Missy Moo’s first outifts but I wanted to do something with them that I could show off.
As luck would have it, I have teamed up with Cute As A Button. They came up with a fabulous idea to make a Keepsake Bear out of your baby’s first clothing. The idea is genius. Who wants to have baby clothes stored away for no one to see and gather dust? Every parent loves a good keepsake especially when there are emotions attached to it, like their child’s first clothing.
Each bear is unique because it is from the clothes you send from your baby’s wardrobe. You can get them personalized too, to make it that extra special. I have chosen to put my daughter’s nickname and birth date on the paws but the options available are endless. Holly does an amazing job and she is a pleasure to work with. One of my favorite bears had a tutu on it. This bear pattern is made specifically by them so you won’t find these adorable Keepsake Bears any where else on the market.
I was blown away when I received ours. The quality of the stitching really showed through as the outfits I sent looked a bit tattered but they looked great on the bear. It was so soft and lovely, I only wish now I had kept enough clothes from when Buba was little to do a bear for him too.
There is a bonus on Missy Moo’s bear, as there are mini pockets on the arms from one of her babygrows. I can easily use this as her Tooth Fairy Bear, and have her put her lost teeth for the Tooth Fairy in them. I love the bow detail, Holly did an excellent job picking which part of each babygrow would look best and where. I am so in love with it. It’s the best Keepsake that I have ever received. Looking at the pictures above where Missy Moo is wearing these very outfits, making those memories into a lifetime memory, there is nothing better.
I highly recommend if you want to have a few of those first outfits preserved in a way you can show off year after year on the shelf or use as decoration in the nursery this is the way to go.
I was sent this bear for the purpose of this review, but the opinions are my own.
I love this idea, so cute. Little O has some gorgeous baby grows that are all tucked away in the attic. I’d love to do something like this with them.
Definitely, you can do all different sizes of bear and get anything you want written on the back or paws!! It looks even better in person. I was so impressed!!!!! I wish had enough outfits for one for Buba, I only saved his coming home outfit unfortunately. Boo.
Jenny we can make them using 1 grow and match it to new fabrics. Thank you for the lovely review x
Oh I must dig out Buba’s first outfit then and see what I can do. Thank you so much!!! I will be linking my review up on Tuesday to a few review boards too! Sharing around the world as my American friends and family are loving it too! 😉
Wow that’s so cool. I kept scrolling back and forth to see what pieces were used. Very tastefully done and an excellent little keepsake.
Thank you so much Jo, I know I love looking at the before and after pictures. It’s a great way to keep my memories alive forever. Love it.
Oh how adorable, it is lovely that you can show her wearing the outfits that her bear is made from when she is older.
Thank you Joanne, I know that’s my favorite part. I am going to frame the pictures next to the bear! I thought it was such a genius idea for baby’s first clothes. So unique! Cute As A Button did a fabulous job.
Oh my gosh!! My heart just melted, what an amazing idea so so CUTE!!!!
Oh thank you, I know I was very impressed with the look and quality of the bear. Cute As A Button as so talented. I thought they choose the patterns to match up really, really well, out of the outfits I sent. So pleased with it.
what a gorgeous idea!
Thanks Becky, I thought so too, they are fantastic. They even look better in person.
What a great idea!! This is so adorable!!
Thank you Kim, I thought so too. Holly at Cute As A Button is fantastic at matching up the fabric and placing them. I was so happy with it. I am getting one done now for my son, better then leaving those first outfits in a box in the loft. 😉 This way I can show them off.
This is just so adorable!
Thanks Jocelyn, I am in awe of it still at the moment. Every time I walk into her nursery and see it on her dresser, it’s so gorgeous. So many memories in those outfits too. Priceless.
OH. MY. GOODNESS. I NEED this. I would love one of these made from Max’s little sleepsuits, and the hat he wore in NICU. Very lovely way to keep those memories safe! Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
Thanks Kate, yes do, you won’t regret it. It even looks better in person. Thanks for hosting. 😉
what a lovely idea!
Thanks Amy, I know I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Its great to look at pictures of MM in them and then see them on the bear. I love it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
They are so gorgeous!
Thank you Susan. It looks even more gorgeous in person.
Oh my goodness, I love this! I have a small pile of baby clothes stashed so I might be off to get a quote!
Do Pippa, it’s so beautiful. You can choose different sizes and what you want in terms of name, birth date etc So many options. I need to dig out Buba’s clothes so he can have one too. lol
My friend just got one done with another company, they are such a lovely idea! I like the design of this teddy better, it’s super cute! X
Its a great idea, and this teddy bear pattern is unique to Cute As A Button, Holly is amazing at choosing which patterns go best where. I was so impressed with the outcome. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I love this idea. Thanks so much for sharing; what a lovely way to keep those first outfits.

Thank you Christina, and thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon. 😉
SO cute! I’ve just been putting away some of Amy’s first sleepsuits this morning funnily enough.
Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
hahah You best get them back out. lol This is so lovely, and that way you can display it in their room, instead of putting them away! Such a lovely touch. Thanks Colette for hosting. 🙂
Oh what a lovely idea! Such a great keepsake x
Thanks Donna. These bears are fantastic and even look better in real life, if that’s possible. I was so pleased with mine I am going to get one done for my son now too.
Oh my goodness…. I absolutely love this idea! So beautiful! You picked out the perfect little outfits too!

Thank you Danni. It looks even better in person if that’s possible.
I’ve seen these dotted around the internet and they are such a cute idea… I will definitely be getting one done when I eventually have a little guy or girl! x
Yes, they are a fantastic idea. I need to get one done for my son now. Thank you Raimy for stopping by and commenting. I hope to see you again soon.
I absolutely adore this idea and am definitely going to do it with my children’s teeny tiny baby newborn clothes. Sadly they’re all boxed up in storage at the moment and every time I see these I wish I could get into them! xx
Thank you Emily. You definitely should. I love looking over while I am putting MIssy Moo to bed and see her bear on her shelf. I need to get one done now for my son but his clothes are in storage too. lol
Can you help we cannot find this website anywhere online, and all the contact details we had for this company no reply to extensive emails and telephone messages. Do you know if this company has gone under as they have some of our Bizziebaby Testers clothing to makes keepsake bears and we are getting concerned. Hope you can help. Thank you
So sorry I have no idea. I did the review and have had no further contact.
