A personal message tucked inside a soft plush friend

Some gifts are more than cute. A recordable plush lets you add a voice message to a stuffed animal, creating a keepsake that can comfort, encourage, celebrate, or remind someone they are loved.

Whether you are sending a birthday surprise, a long-distance hug, a memorial keepsake, a deployment gift, or a calming comfort plush, a recordable stuffed animal gives your message a place to live.

How your recordable plush works

1. Choose your plush. Pick the animal that feels right for your gift.
2. Choose your recorder. Select a 30-second or 60-second recorder, depending on how much you want to say.
3. Record your message at home. Your recorder arrives with easy instructions so you can record your message yourself.
4. Place it inside the plush. After recording, place the recorder inside the plush through the Velcro opening in the back.
5. Give a hug they can hear. The recipient can squeeze or press the recorder to hear your message whenever they need it.

Because you record the message yourself, you can make it personal, private, and exactly how you want it to sound.

Recordable plush gifts for every kind of “I love you”

• Long-distance love: Send your voice when you cannot be there in person.
• Deployment gifts: Give a child, spouse, or family member a comforting message to hold onto.
• Memorial keepsakes: Preserve a voice, prayer, heartbeat, or meaningful message in a soft keepsake.
• Grandparent gifts: Let grandparents, parents, or loved ones send a bedtime message or “I love you.”
• Birthday gifts: Add a personal birthday wish to a plush they can keep.
• Baby shower gifts: Record a sweet message, lullaby, or blessing for a new baby.

• Sensory and weighted comfort: Pair a recorder with a weighted plush option for an extra meaningful comfort friend.

Build the recordable plush that fits your gift

Many Baker’s Bears plush animals can be customized to fit the moment. Depending on the animal, you may be able to choose:

• Stuffed plush: Arrives filled and ready for snuggles.
• DIY unstuffed kit: A make-your-own plush kit with a heart insert.
• 30-second recorder: Great for a short message, heartbeat, or “I love you.”
• 60-second recorder: Best for longer messages, prayers, songs, or bedtime notes.
• Weighted plush: Choose a calming weighted option for extra comfort.
• Weighted + recordable: Combine gentle weight with a personal message.

Important note: DIY unstuffed kits can include a recorder, but they cannot be weighted. Weighted plush animals are made as stuffed plush.

When they miss you, they can hear you

A recordable plush is especially meaningful when someone needs comfort, connection, or reassurance. It can hold a parent’s bedtime message, a grandparent’s voice, a partner’s encouragement, a memorial recording, or a simple reminder that says, “I’m right here.”

The plush becomes more than a stuffed animal. It becomes a voice they can return to.
