Personalised Christmas Teddy Bears: First Christmas & Festive Keepsakes

A personalised Christmas teddy is the kind of present that outlasts the wrapping paper. Add a name, a date or "My First Christmas" and it stops being a soft toy and becomes a keepsake the family keeps out year after year. Here is our guide to choosing the right one, whether it is for a new baby's first Christmas or a stocking filler that actually means something.

A baby's first Christmas

First Christmas is the one people remember, so it is worth marking properly. A personalised first Christmas teddy with the baby's name and the year turns into the thing they hang onto growing up. Our blue first Christmas teddy and pink first Christmas teddy are the classic pick, and the reindeer first Christmas teddy is a softer take if you want something less traditional.

If you are not sure on colour, the red first Christmas teddy works for any baby and keeps the festive look front and centre.

Personalised Merry Christmas teddies

Not just for babies. A Merry Christmas teddy with a name on it makes a good gift for kids, partners, grandparents - anyone who would smile at seeing their name stitched on. The blue Merry Christmas teddy and pink Merry Christmas teddy are our most popular, and both take a custom name.

Ordering for Christmas? Personalised items take a little longer than off-the-shelf toys, so order early. Place your order before 2pm Monday to Friday and it is dispatched the same day with free next-day delivery.

Festive designs: wreaths, elves and reindeer

If you want something with a bit more character, the festive designs deliver. The Christmas wreath teddy and Santa wreath teddy lean into the traditional look, while the elf and reindeer Christmas squishy is the softer, huggable option kids go for.

For a personalised touch that spells it out, the Christmas letter teddy carries an initial and works as part of a set.

How to pick the right one

Three quick questions. Who is it for - a baby's first Christmas points you to the first Christmas range, everyone else to the Merry Christmas designs. What do you want on it - most take a name, some take a name and a date. And when do you need it - personalised means it is made to order, so give yourself a few days rather than leaving it to Christmas week.

Every teddy is personalised and hand-finished in the UK. Order before 2pm Monday to Friday for free next-day delivery.
