About

Cotton Keeps was founded by a mom and engineer in Annapolis, Maryland. Her vision was to create purpose-driven plush toys, not mass-produced gifts. These are meaningful keepsakes that connect us to childhood memories, the communities we love, and the values we want to pass on.

We design heirloom-quality plush toys that are safe, sustainable, and meaningful. Each collection is inspired by a community and each plush supports a local nonprofit working to make it better.

We are launching with Blu the Baby Crab, a soft and sensory-friendly plush that celebrates the Chesapeake Bay and gives back to the waters that inspired it.

• Supports a local nonprofit through giveback donations
  
• Is safe for all ages (0+ months)
  

For every plush sold, $1 is donated to a unique nonprofit.
