INTRODUCING PADDINGTON™
It’s with great delight that we welcome the newest addition to Merrythought’s distinguished portfolio; Paddington™ - Classic Edition. Lovingly crafted to bring a lifetime of joy.
"I've had the pleasure of purchasing two Merrythought bears, and I'm absolutely delighted with both experiences. My first bear was a gift for my nephew, who adores it. Recently, I ordered a personalised bear for a friend's anniversary. Despite an initial delivery issue, which was due to the courier and not Merrythought, the customer service team went above and beyond to resolve the problem. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was truly remarkable.
The bears themselves are exquisite—beautifully crafted with impeccable attention to detail. Handmade in England using traditional methods and premium materials, each bear has an individual personality, irresistible charm, and superior quality that can last a lifetime. These aren't just toys; they're heirloom pieces that will be treasured for generations."

“I've purchased several bears from Merrythought over the years & am always pleased with the quality. I love the option of 'personalisation' making a beautiful bear for a special occasion that much more monumental.
The Merrythought Bear Specialists are very friendly & helpful, adding to the experience. Global Shipping is very quick. Everything from the bear, the embroidering, the packaging & the communication make Merrythought a grand idea for a memorable gift that will last a lifetime. These bears are QUALITY."
“I have been a Merrythought bear collector for many years. Your quality is unparalleled! I am especially happy with the fact that all of your bears are created in England. This is very important to me. Your transport to the USA is awesome! Typically, my bear arrives within a week of ordering! Beautifully packaged. Continue to bring gorgeous bears to life and I will continue to collect!"
“His shape is adorable and the eyes are as appealing as the write-up suggests. His bow is a wonderful finishing touch. I think he's even lovelier in person than in his picture!
Thank you to everyone involved in making such lovely bears.”
