About Us

Welcome to Stuffed Love, where memories come to life in the form of custom handmade teddy bears.

I’m Natasha Budovitch — founder of Stuffed Love, mom, art director, and lifelong sentimentalist. I grew up watching my mom sew; she had a small line of handmade crafts, and I was always inspired by her ability to turn something old into something new. That creative spark stayed with me.

After spending 15 years working as an art director in the Canadian fashion industry, and becoming a mom myself, I found new meaning in the things we hold onto. I’ve always saved special pieces — like the onesie my daughter took her first steps in — because they carry the weight of beautiful, fleeting moments. When I decided to turn that onesie into a memory bear for her, I shared it online... and that one bear sparked something bigger.

Stuffed Love was born from that moment — a passion project turned purpose.

We believe that some memories are too precious to leave behind. Our mission is to help you hold onto them forever by transforming cherished baby clothes and sentimental fabrics into timeless keepsake bears. Each bear is handmade with love, care, and intention — telling a story of first smiles, cuddles, and milestones in soft, huggable form.

Whether you're celebrating a new arrival, honoring a loved one, or creating a meaningful gift, we’re here to turn your memories into something truly special.

At Stuffed Love, every stitch is made with care, and every bear is as unique as the memories it's built from.

Because memories deserve to be hugged.

— Natasha
