Christmas is one of the busiest times in the Merrythought factory.
As is the nature of handmade teddy bears they take a little more time to manufacture when made to order.
So with this in mind and how busy we are in the factory your orders may take a little longer to arrive than normal so please “bear” with us.
We are currently looking at December Delivery for any Item that is not in stock.
If you need a bear for a particular date please email or better still phone us BEFORE ORDERING to confirm we will be able to get the item out to you in time.
You can find all the details on how to get in touch and the office opening hours on the contact us page.
With the delivery of our new catalogue to our retailers around the world it has proved incredible successful, meaning we are going to be even busier than last year.
Final Christmas Ordering dates are below.
Mainland UK: TUESDAY 1st DECEMBER
Rest of the World: MONDAY 16th NOVEMBER
Any orders placed after these dates may miss delivery in time for Christmas
Merrythought is delighted to bring you our brand new and up-to-date website showing our fabulous range of exciting and innovative limited edition teddy bears and old favourites which are all entirely hand made in our own factory here in The World Heritage site of Ironbridge.
Our limited edition teddy bears are available on a “first come first served” basis with “sold out” notices being generated automatically.
Additionally we have our much loved “Great British Bear Collection” which, due to the scale and exceptionally fine detailed work, are manufactured by artisans "off shore" with smaller hands than our staff here in Ironbridge. Each character comes in its own display box.
We hope you enjoy exploring our site which we intend to expand with many new and innovative developments in the near future.
