Keeping loved ones Near
Near Bear is a timeless keepsake teddy designed to carry the faces and memories that matter most, offering reassurance, belonging, and love through every season of childhood.
A hug that holds their favourite face.
Irresistibly soft premium plush thoughtfully made with little hands in mind - designed by a Mum who thought of everything. The soft padded photo frame made of the same soft gentle cushioning as the paws. The ribbon is stitched on safely. No hard edges anywhere.
Near Bear is made to be squeezed, carried, hugged and treasured.
Sleep & bedtime fears
Bedtime feels less scary when a familiar, loving face is right there. Near Bear gives little ones a visual anchor and something safe to hold through the night.
Separation anxiety
