The Story

of our Bear

We had an idea.

My fiancé and I were watching Shark Tank one Friday night and the light bulb went off.

I remember after my dad passed away, I would listen to the answering machine greeting he had recorded over and over again just so I could hear his voice. My fiancé just lost his mom and he was wanting to find a way to keep the audio of her yelling wildly at an Ohio State football game. And my friend, who has shared custody of her children, expressed to me that they have trouble falling to sleep without her reading them their bedtime stories.

What if there was something tangible that could preserve and play audio, for us or our loved ones?

Now there is!

Introducing the Always There Teddy Bear.

Now, we know that the idea of buying a teddy bear with a recording device in it is nothing new. But while those offer 30-90 seconds of single-track audio, our teddy bears can play multiple audio recordings. One teddy bear could contain you singing a lullaby, reading a story, and telling your child how much you love them. They could play whichever recording they wanted to hear whenever they wanted to! We also can preserve audio from analog and digital recordings, and play that audio on multiple tracks within one bear. Simply use the toggle switch in the hand of the bear to shuffle through the different tracks.

Our bears are like no others out there.

You can send us cell phone recordings of you singing accapella, and we can clean it up, add music behind it, and provide you with a professional sounding studio recording. You can mail us a cassette tape of the interview you did with your grandpa for your fifth grade project, and we can convert that audio and put it into a bear. Or send us a video of your daughter singing, and we can rip that audio for your teddy to play. The types of audio we can put in your Always There Teddy Bear are endless.

Additionally, we also provide custom designed apparel for your teddy bear. Whether a t-shirt or sweatshirt, we can design your teddy's apparel to be anything you'd like. A name, a message, or a picture, we'll send your teddy to you in style.

Questions?

Just ask!

If you have any questions about the process or what types of audio we can receive, just ask! We'll work with you to make this an awesome experience - for you and for the recipient of your teddy bear!
