Henry Road bears - A stuffed animal we can get behind

Henry Road bears - A stuffed animal we can get behind
Unless a plush animal is on a kid's holiday or birthday wish list, I tend to steer clear from giving them because as a mom, I know how maddening it can be adding another stuffed bear to the already full toy bin. But when I saw the Kindred Things bears from Henry Road, I'm making an exception to my own rule.

These adorable handmade toy bears are created using vintage chenille and the gorgeous Henry Road fabric scraps and remnants. Place your order based on you or your kiddo's favorite color palette (red, blue, pink, or green), and they'll send a special, one-of-a-kind bear to your recipient. Now that's a bear both kids and moms will love. -Kristen

Visit Henry Road for a lovely selection of home decor and vintage inspired gifts for kids.
