Product Overview
The Mumbles Zippie Christmas bear is a festive promotional essential, designed with both charm and customisation in mind. This plush companion features a classic red knitted scarf and a matching Christmas hat, making it an ideal choice for seasonal branding or corporate gifting. Unlike standard soft toys, this bear is specifically engineered for the garment decoration industry, featuring a clever internal access point that simplifies the branding process and ensures a professional finish every time.
Key Features
- Integrated zip access on the base provides a flat surface for decoration, ensuring your logo is applied without distortion.
- Full compliance with EN71 regulations ensures the toy meets stringent safety standards for toys sold within the UK and Europe.
- The design is suitable for all ages, making it a versatile gift for children and adults alike.
- Sewn eyes and mouth provide additional safety and durability, removing the risk of small parts becoming detached.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester, this bear has a substantial, high-quality feel and a soft, plush texture that is built to last. The removable inner stuffing is a critical design element; it allows the outer skin to lie completely flat on an embroidery frame or heat press. This ensures that the decoration is applied directly to the fabric skin, avoiding the uneven results often found when trying to brand a fully stuffed toy.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Zippie design is a professional's favourite due to its ease of access. The bottom zip allows our technicians to reach the tummy area directly, enabling the application of crisp, detailed embroidery or vibrant, bold prints. Embroidery offers a traditional, premium textured finish that is perfect for company logos or individual names. Alternatively, printing is an excellent choice for larger, high-impact seasonal designs or multi-coloured graphics. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, manages the entire customisation process in-house to ensure your branding is executed with precision.
Use Cases
This bear is perfectly suited for corporate Christmas gifting, retail merchandise, or as a personalised keepsake for school and nursery festive events. Given its safety credentials, it is an excellent choice for charitable giveaways or as a mascot for family-oriented businesses during the holiday season.

Practical Advice
Standing at approximately 40cm, this bear is a substantial size for display. When planning your customisation, we recommend focusing your design on the tummy area, which provides the largest and most stable canvas for branding. If you are ordering for a large event, consider a mix of embroidery for names and print for larger festive slogans to maximise visual impact.
Caring for your product
To maintain the plush texture of the fur and ensure the longevity of your custom branding, this item should be hand washed only. Mechanical agitation in a washing machine may distort the shape of the bear or damage the delicate knitted accessories.
We advise against the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents. These substances will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the vibrant red of the hat and scarf to fade or bleed into the white fur.
After washing, the bear should be allowed to air dry naturally. Subjecting the product to the high heat of a tumble dryer can cause the synthetic fibres to mat or singe, permanently altering the feel and appearance of the toy.
