Build a bear for Easter!

While chocolate eggs may be the traditional Easter gift, why not try something a little bit different this year? Our bears make wonderful gifts for any occasion, and Easter is no exception! Not only will our bears last a lot longer than chocolate, they can be dressed in a whole range of outfits to make a really personal gift.

As well as bears, we have cats, dogs, wild animals, as well as bunnies and ducklings if you want to stick to an Easter theme. When it comes to choosing an outfit, we stock something to suit any taste or personality, from fun dress-up costumes, to pyjamas, to everyday outfits.

Make this Easter a memorable one, and build a bear for someone special!

Spring has sprung, so build a bear!

Posted on March 5, 2012 by sarah

The sun is shining, the nights are getting lighter, and jackets are coming off. It can only mean one thing: It’s March and it’s well and truly Spring! What better way to celebrate than by building yourself or a loved one a springtime bear?

Nothing sums up springtime like seeing cute, fluffy lambs bouncing around a field. Our 15” cuddly lamb is just as adorable, and would make a wonderful gift for Mother’s Day.

Easter may be a bit later than usual this year, but the beginning of March means I can start looking forward to buying lots of chocolate for my friends and family. If you’re looking for an alternative Easter present for someone special, why not send our gorgeous bunny to someone?

While Spring is the time for the animals to have their babies, chances are a friend or family member is expecting too. Our lovely yellow duckling makes a wonderful gift for any new arrivals, and it can be dressed up in any of our outfits to personalise it for a boy or a girl.

Whatever the special occasion, or if you’re looking to just treat someone, try one of our amazing bears! They’re so easy to build and personalise, and can be sent right to the recipient’s home. Go on, make someone’s Spring and send them a bear today!
