Bear Hug Adventures Co.
ABOUT US
At Bear Hug Adventures Co., we believe every stuffed animal deserves a second hug — and every act of kindness can spark something bigger.

We're wo Canadian moms, long-time friends, and multi-passionate entrepreneurs. As mothers, we’ve witnessed the deep and lasting bonds children form with their stuffies - companions that offer comfort, inspire imagination, and become part of the family.
As founders, we saw an opportunity to create something meaningful - a business rooted in sustainability, emotional connection, and community care.
That’s how Bear Hug Adventures Co. was born: a heartfelt mission to rescue preloved stuffed animals, lovingly clean and rehome them, and share their stories with a new generation of huggers across Canada.
secondhand toys with stories
Every stuffed animal we rehome helps reduce waste, promotes conscious gifting, and reminds us all that even small acts - like giving an old toy a new home - can create ripples of joy.
Thank you for being part of the Bear Hug journey. Together, we’re sending fewer toys into landfills - one hug at a time.

We are proud to show our children - and our communities - that even the smallest gestures of kindness can create waves of hope and joy.
