fortune Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Brilliant. As soon as I saw it, it threw my memory back to when I was a kid and I had a knitted bear that was with me everywhere. It was called Aggy. I dont know why but Aggy and I were inseparable until one night I threw up all over it and Aggy had to go on holiday. well that's what I was told. A friend lost. the face on your bear looks exactly the same as I remember mine did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 thankyou for the kind words gents. theyre the first memory bears that shes made , she doesnt have any plans to start making them as part of her business , they were just made for someone that was hurting.

lord_seagrave Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 What a great idea. They look fantastic. This. Very good idea. Lady Seagrave couldn't bear to get rid of Little Lord Seagrave's first baby-grows, so when he grew out of them, she turned them into soft toys.

silver pigeon69 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) This idea was on Dragons Den tonight! Edit:The Dragons liked it and they got £50k for 10% of the company.

mel b3 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 This idea was on Dragons Den tonight! Edit:The Dragons liked it and they got £50k for 10% of the company. (what they asked for) now thats a lot of money . quite a few companies already do this type of thing , iirc, cot blankets start at £130 ish , and the memory bears start at £200 ish . lin didnt charge for making them , they were just made to help people feel a little better.

Twistedsanity Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Brilliant ideas, I read somewhere that only a very low percentage of the ideas that dragons den agree to back actually get the money they are offered though, it's more about the presenters fighting to see who gets the most airtime apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
