Pricing and FAQ

Pricing

Pricing

Pricing is based on difficulty of the fabric, and special handling may incur an extra small charge.  I have checked into other memory-style bears, and am surprised at the prices charged.

My promise to you is that I will never extort you for your memories - they are very important to your life and well-being and healing from grief.

I will always and only charge a fair wage for the time and attention that it takes for me to place the bear in your arms.

Pricing Structure:

  • Bears from flat materials (ie, blankets): $30
  • Bears from items that need to be taken apart (ie, clothing article): $35
  • Bears from very thin fabrics that need reinforcement: $40
  • Bears from heavy denim or hard to sew fabrics: $40
  • Extra embroidery or pockets: $10

Accessories such as button eyes and ribbon are included in the above prices.

FAQ

Where do I send my fabric?

Send your fabric to:

Huggable Memories
327 E. 9th Street
Mount Vernon, IN 47620

What if I want a specific color eyes?

Just make a note of it with your order at checkout, and I will use the color you specify.

How long does it take?

Depending on the difficulty of the bear, it can take 3-6 weeks.  This is a single person operation, so every bear is hand crafted by myself, and receives my personal attention. Remember that multiple bear orders WILL take longer, and sometimes I already have some in process when your materials arrive. If you need something by a particular date, ask and I will let you know if I can do that.

Can you use pins and patches?
Certainly! Anything that makes the bear more personal, reflecting the memory you are preserving. I will use any buttons that come on garments as well, and if you have any that are special to you for any reason, include them. However, I will provide buttons if you have none.

What if I have special requirements, concerns, questions?

Please contact me if you have any special concerns.

What happens to the remaining fabric that is not used to make the bear?

Fabric that is not used to make your bear will be discarded, unless you notify me that you would like it returned.  Additional shipping charges apply.

How many clothing items should I send?

For an 18″ bear, you’ll need at least two adult size clothing items.  To make a memory bear from baby clothes or blankets, please send 2 receiving blankets or 8-10 baby clothes items.

If you don’t have that much to send, you may send what you have and I will make a smaller bear.
