My Sentiments - Exactly!!

When I first started dressing teddy bears and turning them into personalized gifts, I had in mind that the bears would represent special occasions and moments in someone's life.  They would be a sentimental gift that brought a special moment to (teddy bear) life.  We use pictures to capture special occasions and my thought was that by dressing the teddy bears in clothing suitable for the occasion, that they could capture those moments, too.  Here are a few of the teddy bear gifts and the ways that they capture the moment.

Basic Wedding Bears

My first style of wedding bears, Basic Wedding Bears, are capturing the wedding moment, so to speak.  The personalized heart offers names, and the date, plus what I call a "blessing line", such as "United in Love", "Together Forever", etc.  Your choice as long as it fits.  The bride's dress comes in either white or ivory, and I try to match the colors of the flowers for the bouquet.  Groom is dressed in a black jacket and pants with a faux white shirt and black bowtie.  The clothing colors can be changed if you would like.  Very handy to display this in a prominent place and you will never forget your anniversary date.

Graduation Bear - Finance

The Graduation Teddy Bears collection are suitable for graduation from high school and college.  I offer a variety of themes for different majors and try to match the color of the gown.  I had one customer order a teddy bear dressed in a graduation gown and cap in the color of her son's high school robe.  But she did not want a tassel, she wanted to display her son's tassel with the bear.

Mother Daughter Bears

When I became the mother of a baby girl, that was a precious moment and the culmination of a precious relationship.  This relationship brought to mind the Mother Daughter Bears.  I can dress the bears in colors of your choice and can put names on the heart where I cross-stitch my original poem.

Sister Angel Bear

Like many of my angel bears, the Sister Angel Bear is a way to capture a special relationship, this one between sisters.  My original poem is on the card attached to the bear's hand, and this one features a personalized heart with the sisters' names.

Karate Bear

My kids were all very active in sports when they were in school, but now that they are out of high school, there are no more sports activities to attend.  That is one things I really miss about having a child in high school.  I offer a variety of Sporting Bears on my website just so the athlete or the parent can remember those times with great fondness.  Shown is the Karate Bear in white uniform and black belt.  The uniform can be made in other colors (we have done red and black, see options) and we can also do other colors of belts.  Other sporting bears, such as the Basketball Bear, Softball Bear, and Volleyball Bear have been used as gifts for senior girls.  We try to make the uniform as close as possible to the actual uniform and add names and numbers.  I have been told that the recipients love these bears.  I have one coach who has ordered from me for her senior softball players for several years.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a unique way to capture a moment in your life or the life of someone else, give me a shout and we'll see what we can do with a teddy bear to make that a reality.

Blog Much?

If you have visited this page often, you'll see that I don't blog much. I can never think of what to say, and even if I do, it's not very long, so I don't bother. Maybe short blog posts are good, I have a hard time reading long posts anyway, maybe you do too.

So here is my short blog post: I am currently offering a 25% discount coupon for your spring gift shopping. This is good for anything on my website except items shown on the Sample Sale page and Clearance Items page. The discount code is "mom".

Just to give you a few places to start shopping, there are gifts for mom on the Mother's Day Gifts page. Gifts for graduates on the Graduation Teddy Bears page. Personalized wedding gifts on the Wedding Teddy Bears page. Don't be alarmed, but there are also bunnies on the wedding gifts page.  I also have gifts for teachers on the Teacher Teddy Bear page.

Happy Fall and What's New

Happy Fall!! I really love this time of year, a little cooler, full of beautiful colors, and my favorite holidays getting closer.

What's New on my Site:
I've made several changes, lately, so there is quite a bit new on my site this week. First, I added two products to the Clearance page as a Sample Sale. These were the samples I made to take a picture and add to my site. I will still be selling these products in the future , but I am offering these samples at a discounted price. I have one of each available. Then, I added two new products, the Paramedic Bear, and the Teacher Angel Bear. I have many more angels to come in the next few weeks, so stay tuned. One angel will be Harvest Angel, her dress will show off all of those rich colors of fall.

As I was looking through my category pages, some of them looked, quite frankly, like a jumbled mess. So I reorganized 3 of my category pages. I hope this makes items on those pages easier to find. I have a few more to do, but these were what I deemed the messiest. The newly organized category pages are: Professional Bears, Wedding Bears, and Angel Bears . Take a look and see if there are any bears there you hadn't noticed before, simply because of placement. I have to admit, I found a few I had forgotten about.


When you have a website, the most difficult and important thing is making sure people can find your products. Some websites have a search/find feature, but I've never really known how to install that on my site. So I try to organize my products into categories that I think people would look for, and now I am organizing within the categories for the same purpose. Think of it like the aisles in a grocery store where they have the signs hanging above the aisles so you have an idea where to start looking for what you want. Some stores also have smaller flag signs within the aisle, further tagging the different groupings. That is what I am trying to do. I'd love to know if you think it is helpful or not.

I strive always to make my site easy to navigate and understandable in description. Should you ever have any problems finding anything, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help you.
