Let customers speak for us
from 7 reviewsBeautiful packaging and speedy delivery! Our little Dear Ted is settling in at home, ready to await the arrival of our little one. We fell in love with the Dear Teds in The Axe Store and have been excited to get one ever since. They feel amazing and are such a cuddly size. I couldn't recommend more!
These are truely beautiful Ted's. We purchased a Seafoam and a Raspberry ted for our kids with some money that their great grandad gave to their great nana to give to them for christmas just before he passed away, so I wanted to get something special as a last gift from him. So we purchased these beautiful bears. I embroidered a love heart on their paws to remember their great grandad. My son now sleeps with him and hugs his bear when hes feeling sad about him. And my daughter just loves her one, and putting it to sleep in it bed (the lovely box it came in). I can honestly say they are worth the money and are so so beautiful 😍
They are truly beautiful Ted's. I ordered the book and Raspberry too for my daughter. She arrived today and I can honestly say they are worth the money and are so so beautiful.
Great product & a great company to deal with. My package got lost in New Zealand, and after contacting them, they tracked it down and replaced it without any effort on my part. I would not hesitate in recommending them.
The perfect little teddy for our beautiful daughter who was born still. This teddy will sit on her memory shelf and is so special to us. Thank-you for such a perfect teddy.
Beautiful old-fashioned looking teddy bear. My grandson absolutely loves him. I have just purchased another one for my next grandchild arriving soon.
We love him. Just a beautiful gift for a baby. Lovely size to fit in his hand. We have purchased the large one for all grandchildren. We pop our family tartan as scarf with their name and date of birth on it. Becoming our family tradition. Beautiful bears.
They are so beautiful the quality is incredible. I think I need to get the butterscotch one next. My girls are both obsessed with their beautiful bears
