Dream Bestie Competition
Vote now for your favourite design

Thank you to everyone who entered

Cancer Support UK and Warmies® would like to thank all the children who entered our Create Your Dream Bestie competition.
The creativity, imagination and the effort taken to design a dream cuddly friend was incredible!

We were amazed at the number of entries, range of ages and the high standard of the designs submitted – particularly as these are all children receiving cancer treatment.

This made the judges’ task of selecting a shortlist extremely difficult. However, they have now chosen six finalists, whose drawings are featured below.

Public vote

A public vote will now decide the winning Bestie, which will then be transformed by Warmies® into a special limited edition heatable, sensory cuddly toy, which delivers soothing warmth and fragrant comfort, as well as helping alleviate stress and anxiety, and encouraging restful sleep.

The winner’s prize

The winning child will receive the first toy in the limited edition run, while the remaining toys will go on sale later this year to supporters and friends of Cancer Support UK, with 100% of profits going to the charity, to help provide practical and emotional support to people with cancer.

How to vote

Voting closes on 31 March 2025
