Collection: My Scar Buddy

I searched far and wide for a handmade birth weight doll for my prem born daughters for years and Darne Creations has produced just what I was after with their Hold Me Again dolls.
Myself and my daughters love them and they will be cherished for years to come.
The quality and make is simply stunning, as is the communication we had.
Cannot rate them higher!

I just wanted to say a big thank you for our Ollie octopus for our son Reef born at 34 weeks. I ordered it days out from Christmas and it was sent that day and arrived just in time. We opened it on Christmas Day and the letter you had with it from your children was just beautiful. It brought a tear to my eyes.

I Would highly recommend these beautiful octopuses for anyone with their baby in NICU. I’ve had so many comments on how beautiful they are.

Thank you so much for making our Christmas so special. Xo

When my daughter was born 2 years ago I searched everywhere for something exactly like this as I’d read about the calming affects when you can’t be beside Bub and ended up buying an expensive branded octopus that didn’t replicate the umbilical cord well at all. While I didn’t need it for a medical reason I wanted to try it to help while I was driving and can’t be beside her to help comfort her all the time. Darne Creations mini Ollie is absolutely gorgeous and perfect size for in the car! And so much cheaper than the branded one I had previously brought and this one is hand made! The top quality and abundance of love that you can tell as soon as you pick it up that goes into Sharne’s makes it just perfect.
It would make the best baby shower present even if not for a medical baby!
Absolutely love mine!

Such a beautiful NICU Octopus! I haven’t found any others as nice! Very soft & a bit bigger than I was expecting! Love it so much! Can’t wait to gift it to my sister for her baby 💗🌸

I purchased an octopus for my close friend for her bub who was in NICU. The quality and detail of this product is amazing !
Could not recommend this product enough. The outstanding customer service and fast delivery is something to be commended aswell

Ordered a Teddy to match my daughters birthmarks, it was made beautifully and perfectly captures the marks! 🩷🩷🩷

I purchased the mini Ollie and the love patches as a gift for my nephew and sister in law, and she absolutely loved them. They are so beautifully made and just gorgeous! Sharne was a pleasure to communicate with and my order was ready very quickly. Can’t recommend her beautiful work enough!

Just like pictured on the website! Beautiful and soft pinks!

A lovely gift for a new baby or baby shower. So lovely package up and sent with lots of care 💕

I bought the mini octopus for my Grandson Huxley, he absolutely loves it and it was the first cuddly that he was introduced to in hospital. He loves rubbing it on his face. The service and delivery was so quick. It is really the most lovely handcrafted creation. I really wanted to ensure it was a safe option too that my daughter could use without worrying. There is kits to think about with new babies. Thank you so much.

Today our beautiful scare buddy arrived.
I can’t put into words how in love I am. We wanted something for our rainbow baby to have in remembrance of he/she big sister whom had cdh but unfortunately we lost her at 21 weeks.
The quality and love put into our scare buddy is pure amazing.

I ordered one of these bears for my little boy without the scar embroidery as I just fell in love with the look of him and we hadn’t had success finding a lovey/comforter yet that my boy would bond to…. My gosh when it arrived, it’s soooo much better in person. The texture, softness and weight are perfect. My little boy absolutely fell in love with his bear at first sight and hasn’t stopped getting him and cuddling him. He proudly shows everyone his new bear and offers them a cuddle with it (only 1 though, as he’s very possessive).

The hospital bag organisers are so beautifully made, and can really be used in any bag, not only your hospital bag.
They would make a perfect addition to any baby shower gift.

I absolutely love these gorgeous little Octopus. They are super soft and beautifully made. I bought a couple for baby gifts and Sharne had them done so quickly. I received them beautifully boxed and wrapped. I can’t wait to give them to their recipients as I know they will get great comfort from the cord like tentacles.

Outstanding quality
Perfect present for a bubba who loved to snuggle
