So impressed with Ollie! He arrived just as we were heading home for the nicu- but has kept my baby settled as sleeps in the Moses basket and co sleeper. He even comes for rides in the pram. She enjoys touching his tentacles and rubbing her head/face on his face. Don’t give purchasing Ollie a second thought- it’ll be the best thing you buy today!

I purchased a mushroom Ollie for my nephew Noah. His been in the NICU since birth and will be 1 month old in a few days..

My sister slept with his Ollie and took him into hospital today to be with Noah whilst she isn’t there..

Absolutely love the idea of this.. My sister was so thankful for the gift and knows that Noah will love his Ollie as he grows!

Ollie is so soft and cute.. I gave him a little squeeze before my sister took him home.

Amazing idea 🩵

My waters broke at 36+4, and my son arrived 37 weeks. Thankfully he didn’t need to be in NICU but I still felt the idea of the tentacles replicating the umbilical cord was something I wanted to offer him even just as a comfort. Ollie is much softer than I expected and is a gorgeous gift for someone or to buy for yourself and bubs. It came with a handwritten note and beautifully packaged. It’s always nice to support a local business.

I would highly recommend to any mommas considering Ollie, and it doesn’t have to be just for NICU babies.

Thank you so much Sharne @ Darne Creations for our little Ollie. Its so comforting to know that Josiah has his little Ollie with him when we can't be with him. It's absolutely the perfect little companion. So soft, plush and made with so much love. We can't thank you enough xxx

Can’t recommend these perfect little Ollies more! My waters broke at 16 weeks and these Ollies are the first thing I bought for baby knowing the chances of going to NICU is pretty high post birth for us as we are likely going to have a little perfect premie. They are so beautifully made from the literal softest most plush material and just feel so amazing I can’t even explain! Sharne is also just an absolutely wonderful human who cares so much about making a difference for medical mamas and you can tell in the quality of the octopus and also just from her beautiful encouraging messages. I’m so grateful this page came up on my Instagram at the right time! 🤍

I purchased Ollie while my little one was in the NICU. Although we only received it once we got back home I still love it so much. It’s super cute and my little one reaches for it even now. Thank you! 💚

Firstly, Sharne pours so much love into each and every order. Her messages alone got me through some pretty dark days in the NICU. We purchased 2 mini Ollie’s for our twins. Perfect quality and the softest touch touch! These are going to be used, loved and treasured for years to come. Highly recommend xx

I ordered the octopus , as my daughter was due to have her first baby and had know idea what was happening, I wanted her bub to her always with them no matter what.

I brought this for my daughters tiny baby this has been a complete life saver he loves it so much 🩵 Thanku so much for being able to provide such an amazing little octopus for our little Grayson we will be forever thankful xx

Wow! It was so special receiving this teddy, and gifting it to our baby for her first birthday. To have a little teddy friend for her with a matching scar is priceless.
The teddy was created with love, care, and skill. Thank you Sharne for preparing the bear so quickly and sending it in time for our baby’s birthday.

Sharne created a personalised order for us after the loss of our baby. She has been so kind and empathetic with all of our communications just to get things perfect for our baby doll. As soon as he arrived I was speechless, I cannot thank Sharne enough! And to be able to have the feeling of holding a doll again that was the same size and measurements of our son 💙

My son was born at 30 weeks and we were in NICU & SCBU for a few weeks until he came home on the neonatal early discharge program with the nasal gastric tube. I wish that I had found this store sooner so I could have got him the octopus when he was in hospital, but better late then never!! My son grabbed onto the octopus as soon as I gave it to him and is loving the tentacles!! I can’t wait to receive my birthweight doll so I can reminisce how small he was when he was born.

Sharne, you are absolutely incredible. I bought 3 of these beautiful dolls from you and I’m honestly lost for words (also shed quite a few tears).I had caesareans for all 3 of my children and I hold a lot of trauma from all 3 experiences. Holding my newborns is really such a blur to me as there was a lot going on and I’ve never really taken time to heal from it. Holding these beautiful dolls has helped heal part of that for me and I’ll be forever grateful to you for being able to be apart of my journey in doing that. Thank you💗

I received my mini Ollie today for my baby due in June and my 2yr old has taken it as her own so I have to order more for bub. It’s so soft and the perfect size for her to hold and cuddle, I love that it’s hand made and it’s clearly made with love. She was a Premmie and spent time in special care and I wish I knew these were around back then. Thank you Sharne xx

After finding out at 20 weeks pregnant my baby had a congential heart defect, that he would need surgery and would be in the nicu straight after birth I decided to buy a mini Ollie, I snuggled with the mini Ollie 2 nights before his birth and while in labour and then it went with him to nicu and has been with him from nicu to picu after his surgery, Hugo is now almost 4 weeks old, and his mini Ollie is still by his side why he is still recovering
