Whether you’re looking for a unique present for a first birthday or you want to do something special with your child’s first baby grow, it’s worth checking out Lara Owsianik’s concept.
She creates handmade, made-to-order teddy bears using babies’ onesies, blankets and sleepers to serve as keepsakes for parents.
While Stuffs By Lara is based in Toronto, Canada, she ships worldwide and you can order a bear (priced from €56.38, plus shipping) from Etsy.
All you have to do is place an order and send Lara the garment. It then takes 5-10 business days after she receives them.
You can also go one step further and purchase one with a personalised plate including the baby’s name and birth date.
Speaking about her idea, Lara told us: “My sister actually emailed me and gave me the idea about a year and a half ago.
“It’s only been recently that I’ve noticed that it has become a lot more popular for people to contact me, from even as far as Australia.”
