I am delighted with the bears you reserved for me at Hove. It's not easy to choose a bear from a website but yours always manage to exceed expectations and are just so huggable. And adopting your lovely "Tutti Frutti" bear was a bonus - she's certainly got more pzazz than your average bear!

I first came across Brendan's bears at 'Crafts for Christmas' at the NEC on 6th November, where I was astounded at the quality of the bears and the choice. I found it very difficult to decide as there were three bears that caught my eye, all very adorable! It took me quite a while, but I chose the anthracite bear. I was so impressed with the quality that I went onto the website the next day. I liked a couple of the bears that were sold out, I contacted Brendan who said that he could make them in my choice of mohair and that they would be ready in about a week. I would just like to say that the level of service from start to finish was exceptional and I highly recommend Brendan Bears to anyone.

Brendan designed me two bears for my little nieces, who are due to be flowergirls at my wedding this Christmas - they will be carrying the bears up the aisle instead of flowers. The bears are absolutely delightful - I'm not sure how I'm going to part with them! Brendan has been a pleasure to work with and extremely patient with my frequent 'blonde' moments - and, despite conducting all our business by e-mail, I have felt reassured that I have been in safe hands throughout. And the bears are certainly no disappointment! My nieces are very lucky girls indeed, and I know the bears will be cherished.
I cannot recommend 'Brendan's Bears' too highly, and distance is certainly not a problem! I wish Brendan (and his bears) all the best for a happy and prosperous future; may they all find loving homes. (Especially the bears).

I viewed Brendan's bears for the first time at Hugglets in Kensington on September 13th '09. I was enchanted with the imaginative designs, high quality and attention to detail. I brought home a delightful white icicle bear, complete with bling for my diamond birthday! I look forward to seeing more of Brendan's creations in the near future, and to increase my HUG!

....thank you for the two gorgeous bears I bought from you at Hugglets. Everyone agrees the girls are Absolutely Fabulous so they've been named "Patsy" and "Edina" - seems to suit them somehow ! Thanks again for creating them - and for reserving them for me; I couldn't possibly have chosen between them.

This is to say that my wife was delighted with her bear which fully matches the description on your website and is clearly well made. We were also very pleased with the speed and efficiency with which you dealt with our order.

The bears are a great success with the children. Thank you very much indeed.

My husband and I visited your stall at the recent Blenheim Palace craft show. We had no intention of buying a bear but when I saw the large brown 21" bear at the back of the stall I was smitten in part I think because he looked a little like my hubby (big, strong and hairy) but mostly because of the fantastic quality and workmanship. "Rufus" as I have named him (I thought this an apt name as Churchill's dog was called Rufus) now sits in pride of place in my bedroom. Thank you very much.

I got in touch with Brendan to make me a Valentine bear, rather than buying the usual rubbish, to make the day that bit extra special. I must say the bear he made was past all expectations, the Mrs fell in love with her straight away and promptly named her Wendy. Thank you Brendan for all your help.

I received a very quick and professional service from 'Brendan's Bears' - my request was for a replica of a very old and tatty lamb I have had since my childhood. What was produced exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled with my new lamb!
