Blessing Bear® gives every guest something better to do: write a blessing for baby that gets tucked inside — and read again for years to come.
How it works:
🐻 Guests write a blessing — Pass around the included fabric squares and fabric marker. Everyone gets a turn (way better than another round of "guess the baby food").
💌 Tuck it inside — Fold the notes and slip them into Blessing Bear's hidden back pocket.
🎁 Baby keeps it forever — Years from now, your child can open the bear and read every message from the people who loved them first.
What's included:
(1) Super-soft 18" bear
(2) fabric squares (fits 15–20 notes)
(1) ultra-fine-tip fabric marker
A little keepsake card explaining the tradition, so it's ready to gift
A note on timing:
Personalized bears are made to order and take 3–5 weeks. We recommend ordering at least 6 weeks before your shower so it arrives with plenty of time to spare.
The Blessing Bear was a huge hit at my daughter’s recent Baby Shower! Each guest wrote a sweet message to tuck into the bear. There wasn’t a dry eye as my daughter read the beautiful blessings that will surround her daughter as she grows. Thanks for making the perfect gift for my future granddaughter. I know it will be cherished for years to come❤️
The blessing bear was the best way for family and friends to express their love and blessings for the new baby and he will have those to read some day. Best shower idea ever!
Our guests loved the blessing bear at my daughter’s baby shower. The bear is adorable and good quality. My only comments would be the pen that is included was very blotchy and leaked through the cloth so we used our own. Also it would have been nice to have three cloths as they were filled up quickly.
It was the perfect little gift for the parents to be. We used it at the baby shower and we will use it again at the hospital when baby is born. Thank you again!
This is to be given to my daughter at her baby shower in April. I was impressed the bear was very cuddly. I will follow up with everyone’s response to this idea.
We absolutely love our Blessing Bear! It was a hit at both of our showers and it's so cute. Customer service was great after I decided post-purchase to add the embroidered name. They were able to send me a listing to pay the difference and get it added for us. We're so happy with our bear!
Took some time getting to me because of a mix up with their supplier but I did receive it before my event. It is bigger than I thought it would be and very good quality! It’s gonna last my grandbaby a long time.
Bear is soft and I love how it came with a sweet instruction card. However, the monogram on the handkerchief was messed up. Not a clean or pretty monogram. The thread was pulled and the material had snags and pulls around the name. I reached out to customer service but no one ever got back to me.
The bear is so soft and made beautifully but I didn’t realize the eyes are not sewn in like the nose which could be a joking hazard. Otherwise I can’t wait for the baby shower so the guests can write notes to the baby to share when he is old enough to understand.
Absolutely loved this for my daughter’s baby shower!! The bear is soft and larger than I expected. My daughter can’t wait to read all the sweet messages to her baby when she arrives
The quality of the teddy bear was way better than I expected. And we were able to fit three handkerchiefs in the back pocket. Such an adorable gift for the baby-on-the-way!
Ordered 2 bears thought they’d be the same just different colors they were NOT! The company uses USPS and it took several emails to get them. Customer service is atrocious and quality is poor. Do not recommend.

Hi Kelley - thanks so much for your feedback. We offer two styles of bears - Toffee and Snowy have moveable arms and legs and can sit, Cocoa and Biscuit are more pillow like. Both are roughly the same size from paw to head. If you’d like to swap one of the bears for a different color / style to match them better we’re more than happy to make that happen. Just reach out to us as hello@thegracefulgoose.com.
We sincerely apologize for our slow response times. We’re located in St Pete, FL and we were hit hard by Hurricane Helene. We’re working to get better systems in place to keep customers updated when things get squirrelly. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate you <3
Loved the idea and everyone at the shower thought it was a special treasure
Absolutely adorable and such a unique idea for a baby shower! Everyone loved putting their sweet messages and prayers in for Baby Bennett!
We ended up using small pieces of cardstock because it was hard to write on the handkerchiefs.
The parents have loved reading all the sweet messages!
Our daughter may barely be two years old but I loved that I found a small company to support for an Easter gift that we will use more and more down the road to teach her about faith, prayer and our many blessings thanks to the Blessing Bear. And to find a company that cares about teaching our children how important it is and POSSIBLE it is to be a Christian raising a hopefully christian child who loves ALLLLL who were created by our God and how to love them unconditionally. To have support in teaching that to our daughter is super helpful and makes me feel less alone in this important issue!
She was so excited! Thank you again. It helped make the shower perfect! I just wanted to say thank you again! The bear came yesterday and was a huge hit today! My sister in law was so excited and so happy!
I received this blessing bear for my daughter’s up coming baby shower and it was so well put together. Attention to detail and quality was more than I expected. Can’t wait for the baby shower and see all the wonderful blessings and prayers for our lil grandson.
The bear is beautiful and came as it was described. The one thing I would say is that it takes 6-8 weeks to receive your bear and that should be printed in the description because most people are ordering this as a gift.
Each bear includes (2) fabric squares and a pen (fits 15-20 notes total). If you expect to have a lot of Blessing messages, you can purchase extra fabric squares if you need them.
Each bear fits at least 2 squares. If you order more than that we'll also send you a nice little mesh bag to keep the extra Blessing messages in as a keepsake.
All of our bears have room for at least 3 of the fabric squares we sell (each bear includes 2 squares.) Each square holds about 10 notes depending on how much your guests write.
They are roughly 16” tall.
If you need to change the name after you receive your bear we have two options for you:
Return the bear to us for a name replacement ($15 charge to cover shipping & heart swap)
OR request a new heart to be shipped to you and swap the hearts yourself ($4 shipping charge only)
If you choose to swap the hearts yourself, we'll include instructions on how to do it safely. All you need is an iron and a needle with thread.
