Near Bear
Near Bear is a soft, cuddly teddy bear with a heart. Its unique interchangeable photo window lets you slide in a picture of anyone your child loves - a parent, grandparent, sibling, or pet. Change it whenever you like. It takes seconds.
Research shows children who grow up surrounded by photos of loved ones develop greater confidence, a stronger sense of identity, and a deeper feeling of belonging. Near Bear brings that feeling into something they can hold, hug, and carry with them every single day.
Why families love Near Bear:

A sense of belonging - Because every child deserves to feel close to the people who love them most.
