Memories are made of this...

Memories are made of this – Dean Martin is the fifties crooner synonymous with THAT song which so often becomes an ear worm difficult to eradicate when the word memory surfaces in conversation.

The sweet, sweet memories you've given me
You can't beat the memories you've given me and so it goes on and on and on… !

But those sweet memories are powerful, and as the years pass, we increasingly look back nostalgically, albeit occasionally through rose tinted specs at those memory creating moments.

For some it might bring back memories of a first scan with first time parents-to-be seeing their first baby for the very first time, for others it could be a song which triggers a remembrance or a particular fragrance which evokes memories of times past.

Here at Be My Bear we offer an extensive range of memory bears for whatever reason or season for glad times and sad times. Each of our memory bears come in two sizes 8 inch or 16 inch and arrive ready stuffed with a 20 second or 60 second recording mechanism. The voice recorder is so easy to use – just record your message and if you are happy with it, lock the device in place and place in the back of the bear or animal who will be carrying your personalised memory or message for you. If you make a mistake don’t worry, it’s easy to re-record until you get it right – and you’ll never lose the message because batteries can be replaced.

Many customers enjoy sending a message to a loved one thereby creating a memory for the person receiving the cuddly keepsake, others will send the device to a loved one asking them to record a message for the sender’s own personal memory collection.

How lovely to be able to hear the voice of a loved one who has passed keeping their voice alive as a treasured memory to play and conjure up happy times spent together.

But it’s not just voice recordings which create memories. Parents-to-be can also record their babies’ heartbeats on the recordable sound box while baby is still in the womb, again creating a memory not just for the delighted parents but for the child as he or she grows into adulthood.

For those parents who sadly lose a baby, a memory bear can offer some comfort and consolation in their sad time of bereavement as they replay the sound of their late child’s heartbeat, Every heartbeat can be captured and heard for ever and listening to that heartbeat can help a family travel through the journey of grief and loss.

As one bereaved mother observed: “Our hearts were broken and I thought I would have nothing to remember my baby by, but her heartbeat lives on and she will be in our hearts for ever”.
