OUR STORY: Handcrafted by ANZAC veterans. Designed by a mum of four. Made to be kept for generations.

Ballard Bear is an Australian, family-owned heirloom brand. Our wooden keepsakes are handcrafted and engraved by a team of ANZAC veterans, bringing the same discipline and precision to every piece that they once brought to their service. Our nursery prints are designed and hand-researched by founder Abbey, a mum of four, who believes every child's name deserves more than a template. Nothing we make is mass-produced. Everything is built to be handed down.

Stories of Legacy and Joy

Trusted by families across Australia for handcrafted, personalised keepsakes and heirloom gifts.

“We ordered the road train print for our son and it's honestly the most beautiful thing in his nursery. Finding out what his name actually means made me tear up — I didn't expect that from a nursery print. This isn't decor, it's something we'll have forever."”
— Emma T. First Born Heirloom Keepsake - WA
“Ordered a custom wooden truck as a gift for my husband when our daughter was born — a proper 'welcome to fatherhood' present instead of another mug or t-shirt. He was genuinely speechless. The craftsmanship is incredible, you can tell real hands made it, not a machine."”
— Jess H. new Dad's Wife - QLD
“"I ordered this for my grandson's christening and it completely stole the show. Everyone kept picking it up to read the details — the moon phase, the birthstone, all of it. It's the kind of gift that actually gets kept, not put in a drawer."”
— Margaret D Grandmother - NSW
