Step 1- Choose your item of clothing – I know sometimes this can be a very difficult process, any questions before ordering please do not hesitate to get in touch. I want to help you find a way to keep those clothes in a more tactile way – so you can have something to love and cherish keep safe for the future. Each bear is personally made for you, each person has special wishes or ideas with how they would like their bear to look, for that reason, I would prefer to communicate with you before instead of adding a quick buy button.
Step 2- Choose your keepsake – Head to the shop page Have a look through the keepsake items. You’ve got plenty to choose from memory bears, a variety of animals and cushions. After you have clicked on your chosen keepsake/memory item, proceed to cart and checkout safely and securely through our partner PayPal. Don’t worry if you do not have a PayPal account, you can still checkout as a guest using your debit or credit card. Once you have paid you will receive an email confirming your purchase.
Step 3- Post your clothing – These items are often very precious to you, You would then need to pop the clothes in the post to me, so I recommend that you send them by recorded delivery. Just put a note in with them, with your name on and any special instructions. Once I receive your items I will email you with all the relevant information on how and where to send your special items of clothing to so you know your items have arrived safely.
If you are local (I am based in Colchester Essex) I am more than happy for you to drop off the clothes to me and later collect your finished keepsake if it’s easier for you. I will contact you to arrange a suitable date for you to drop them off.
Step 4- I’ll get to work! – Once i have received your items of clothing, I will create your memory bear with all the love & care it deserves. I understand that parting with a loved one’s garments to transform them into a cherished keepsake may be a tricky decision. Rest assured, I will handle each stage with utmost care. If there are any special instructions I may contact you just to make sure we are both 100% on the same page.
Step 5 – Your finished keepsake comes home – Once your keepsake is complete, I will contact you with photos of your finished order and if there is any outstanding balance due. You will then need to collect your keepsake from me or I will send your keepsake by post depending on your request. I know how precious your items are, so I send all keepsakes via a signed for, tracked and insured courier service. You’ll get an email with your tracking number so that you can track your special keepsake all the way to your doorstep.
If you selected “Collection” at the order stage, then I will contact you when your keepsake is ready to arrange a time and date that suits you.
Step 6 – Love & Cherish your keepsake forever – Your precious keepsake is now with you to keep for generations to come. I would love to see your special items in their new homes, so feel free to send me photos. It’s bringing happy smiles and comfort that my keepsakes makes what I do here at Loved & Cherished worthwhile.
