Bear Hug in a Box

Bear in a Box – Handmade in Ireland
Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the greatest meaning. Bear in a Box is a lovingly hand-embroidered, woollen felted bear- brooch, tucked snugly inside a matchbox-sized gift box (5cm x 7.5cm x 2.5cm).

Made by hand in Ireland, each bear is a token of strength and care. In our family, we say “the strength of a bear” when someone needs to be reminded of their courage and how deeply they are loved. Now, you can pass on that same message in the most heartfelt way.

A keepsake of comfort, encouragement, and love—perfect for slipping into a  pocket, placing on a desk, or keeping close as a reminder that they’re never alone.

I started to make these during the Covid pandemic when we couldn't visit, or hug our loved ones. They have stayed in my range and I know that they are sent often to adult children who have moved to university or emigrated far and wide, to grandchildren in far off lands and to friends and colleagues that just need a little care.
