Crafted with Creativity
From personalised details to one-of-a-kind designs, we create gifts that feel meaningful — whether for someone special or just for you.
Inspired by Joy
We create keepsakes, pieces made to hold memories, not just moments. Whether it’s something to treasure in a memory box or bring out year after year, our designs are made to last, love, and relive.
Made for Real People
Every gift tells a story. Whether you're celebrating someone special or treating yourself, we're here to help you find something thoughtful, meaningful, and unmistakably you.
Our Vision
We believe the most meaningful gifts are the ones that tell a story — not just wrapped in paper, but in emotion, memory, and care. Our vision is to create pieces that spark connection, invite self-expression, and become part of the moments that matter most. Whether it’s a gift for someone you love or a little something for yourself, we want it to feel special enough to keep forever.

MEET THE TEAM
Amie - Owner, Designer, Maker, and Everything in Between
Hi! I'm Amie, the heart behind Canvas & Bear.
From coming up with fresh ideas to designing, crafting, and handmaking every piece, I’m involved in every step of the process. I take custom orders, handle all the admin, and personally ensure that each creation is made with love and attention to detail. Every item is a reflection of my passion for quality and creativity.
Ollie – Chief Napper & Moral Support Pooch
Meet Ollie! Ollis is my 7-year-old black Labrador, and he’s truly my morale booster.
He keeps me company in the office and is always the first to trial and model our pet accessories (his payment comes in the form of delicious banana and carrot snacks, of course). Ollie also accompanies us on daily post walks, and we’d be absolutely lost without him, he’s the heart and soul of our team!
