Cuddle for Keeps

Cuddle for Keeps Handmade, weighted & personalized keepsake bears. Supporting neonatal, maternal & mental health care. Suzanne

At Cuddle for Keeps, I handcraft weighted and personalized Birth Bears, Bereavement Bears and Buddie Bears in support of neonatal, maternal and mental health care. Every sale contributes to various organizations dedicated to advancing these critical areas. Inspired by my 15+ year career in healthcare, the loss of my first child to stillbirth, and my passion for connecting with people’s stories and

journeys, Cuddle for Keeps is my way of bringing awareness to causes that matter and giving back in a way that allows further research and conversations. Cuddle for Keeps bears are for kids, older adults and all ages in between. I'm a one-woman show, designing and hand-crafting every single bear, with a strong squad of cheerleaders behind me. I’m grateful to the many people in my life, near and far, who have inspired the chapters of my story. I hope that Cuddle for Keeps inspires a small chapter of yours. Join me in turning memories into tangible treasures, celebrating life's precious moments, and supporting the causes that matter.

Plot twist: you can make it to the other side and really like where you land.

Guyssss… THANK YOU! 💕🥰🧸 Cuddle for Keeps | Handmade & Weighted Keepsake Memory Bears has officially surpassed 100 orders. This tiny little dream of mine is becoming something bigger and I’m so grateful to this community for the support you’ve given me (and my bears!). It hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Some days I’m way more mentally “in it” than others, but your support and encouragement truly keep me going (and remind me why these bears matter) 🥹
Here’s to the next 100! 🥂🧸
