Coupons for Christmas Shopping!


It's been a beautiful November so far in Kansas. We're not used to 70 degrees in November, but then we weren't used to 30 degrees in October either! Maybe it all balances out in the end.

New Items, New Sale Page



The first day of October already! The fall colors, the fall weather, a wonderful time of year!! I always think of fall as a time when families gather together more because the weather is cooler and it's more comfortable inside. It is one of the reasons why I
like this time of year the best.


Lots of holidays to look forward to, and we have teddy bears for most of them. We still have time to order for Bosses' Day on October 16th. There are only 85 days until Christmas, and only about 60 shopping days on my website until the Christmas cut off.


What's New on my Site:


I've added two more new items since my last blog post. I think you'll like them! The Harvest Angel Bear displays the beautiful colors of fall and would look great on your mantle with other fall decorations. The Tennis Bear is another in the cute sporting bears. We do our best to make the teddy bear's uniform as much like the uniform of the recipient as possible. It is challenging and fun!
I've also added a Sample Sale page to my site. This will be where I offer my samples at discounted prices. There will only be one of each item available at these prices. This will give you a great opportunity to sample one of my teddy bear gifts at a low price. Try one, and you just might like to try some more!

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'Paramedic Bears 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.

Teacher Angel Bear



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.

Featured Product - New Easter Bunny Arrangements

Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny, Easter gift or home decor

Just in time for Easter gift giving or decorating your home, I offer these two new Easter Bunny arrangements. Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny are dressed in shades of purple, which goes really well with their pink noses and undersides of their ears. Mr. Bunny holds a carrot, Mrs. Bunny has a pail of Easter eggs, probably in readiness for the Easter egg hunt with all the little neighborhood bunnies! I also have bunny ornaments for an Easter tree. I have dressed them in shades of purple as well, but could be dressed in other colors. The male holds a small carrot, the female an Easter egg. See all of my Easter products on my website, including some teddy bears dressed for Easter. Last date to order for Easter is April 3rd. Easter is April 12th.

Featured New Product - Good Patient Bear

Good Patient Bear in hopsital gown with ID bracelet

Good Patient Bear is one of our newer products, and has already become a popular way to send "Get Well" greetings. The teddy bear comes dressed in a hospital gown (shown in blue, but can be done in other colors as well) and you can choose some different options. One of the cute features of this bear is the "open air" back to the hospital gown. If you've been in the hospital, you know about dealing with that gown that doesn't quite meet in the back. Some of the options include an eye patch, crutch, knee or arm wrap, slippers, and the personalized ID bracelet. You can see pictures of these options on the Good Patient Bear options page.

The School Year is Almost Over - WHAT?


Teacher Bear, gift for female teacher
Here in the mid-west, the school year is almost over. I don't know how this happened already! It seems like we just started. Maybe I'm feeling a bit sentimental, since next year I will have my first senior in high school. I will be sending my first child off to college about a year from now. That's sort of exciting and definitely scary!


In any case, if you are also nearing the end of the school year and need a special gift for a teacher - guess what, we've got some teacher teddy bears that would make a great gift.


The picture above is designed for a female teacher, probably of elementary age students. The bear sits about 9" high, she comes dressed in school motif fabric, pillow that reads "Time spent teaching is time well spent", and a pencil holder with a painted apple attached to the front. She is simply called Teacher Bear.

Mr. Teacher Bear
This is Mr. Teacher Bear. We didn't want to leave out the male teachers, so we created a bear with the male teacher in mind. Comes in a vest make from school motif fabric and bowtie. Glasses are optional. Bear is approx. 9" high in sitting position.

Music Teacher Bear
We can also do teddy bear gifts for specific areas of teaching, like this Music Teacher Bear. This bear is shown in standing position (though it would need a stand to remain in standing position without falling), and stands about 12" tall. The shirt the bear is wearing is a music motif and we've added black pants to coordinate. We can also make a black skirt. The heart shaped pillow reads "Music Teachers are Noteworthy".

So, stop by and see if we have a teacher's gift that will work for you. We offer several different styles and sizes. You can see them all on my Teacher's Gifts page. Last date to order your teacher's gift is May 20th.

Featured Teddy Bear of the Week - Anyone a Basketball Fan??

Basketball Bear, dress a bear in your favorite team's colorsIf you are a college basketball fan, you've probably been enjoying the NCAA post season tournament these past two weekends. We watch it very closely in our house, at least some of us do. It is my favorite sporting event of all time. This year, I am fortunate to have the team that I cheer for in the Final Four. My Kansas Jayhawks made it by the skin of their teeth, but they made it!! That is a BIG deal in the world of college basektball.

So, with basketball on my mind, I thought I would feature our Basketball Bear this week. This is our latest uniform, fashioned after the actual uniform of the recipient. We have a small space to work with, but can still get quite a few details in. In this case, the stripes at the bottom of the shorts, as well as along the sides of the shirt and shorts, which doesn't show in this picture. We do the lettering on the front and back by hand and attach to the shirt. The front shows the name of the school, with the player's last name and uniform number on the back. We do what we can to make a miniature version of the actual uniform. This makes a fun gift.

Our customer who ordered this product said, "You had her (customer's daughter) email you pictures of the sport uniform, took a detailed description of the colors and design, and from that created a masterful, beautifully handcrafted bear* in the St. Brendan b-ball uniform, complete with the boy's name!!!"


If you are looking for a special, personalized gift for a basketball player, I think that person would enjoy this keepsake from their days on the basketball court.


*Please note that only the uniform is handcrafted by us, not the actual bear.

How about an online craft fair?

Unique Crafters Spring Fling Online Craft Fair
Do you like to go to craft fairs in your local area? You get to walk down the aisles and see all these great looking handmade craft items. But, what if you could stay home and "walk down the aisles" from your computer? Does that sound like fun? No gas expense, no tired feet from all that walking, you can do a load of laundry while you're shopping.... There are lots of advantages to shopping online. So, all that being said, take a look at the Spring Fling Craft Fair put on by the Unique Crafters Club. It will be well worth the time to look at the merchants who offer a variety of handcrafted items. For example, you will find poetry angels, woven baskets, painted items, wood items, teddy bears, stuffed dolls and animals, and more. The merchants are offering discounts when you shop from the main craft fair page. The fair runs from March 1 through May 31st, just in time for your spring occasion shopping - Mother's Day, Graduation, birthdays, sprucing up the house.

Come join me in a game of tag!

Oh my goodness, my blog has been tagged! A blogging friend of mine is involved in a game of blog tag. I have to tell you 5 things about myself and then tag 5 friends. So here goes....

1) The name of my business is Bear Family Gifts. Do you know why?? I suppose because I sell teddy bears and it is a family friendly business with gifts for the whole family would be a good guess. But, actually, it is because I was once a member of a Bear Family! My maiden name was Bear! Can you believe it? I wanted to incorporate my maiden name into my teddy bear business and came up with Bear Family Gifts. I couldn't resist that little play on words.

2)I am a sports junkie! I can't play any sport worth a lick, but I love to watch or listen on the radio to football, basketball, and sometimes baseball. I am enjoying watching basketball almost all day long right now with the NCAA tournament. My favorite team is the KU Jayhawks. Go Hawks!!

3)At one time in my life, I left a job because they were getting a computer!! Now that was back in the "old" days, when we did our bookkeeping by hand, I was so afraid of computers that I left that job for another. A few years later, that business also incorporated a computer, but I was ready to tackle the challenge by then. And look at me now, can't stand to go a day without doing something on my computer. My kids don't believe me when I tell them how afraid I once was of a computer.

4)I enjoy writing poetry and singing in the church choir. Some of my poems are featured with my teddy bear angels, as well as I have some of my longer poems on my website, http://www.bearfamilygifts.com/poetry.html.

5)Last, and most importantly I am a Christian, a breast cancer survivor, a wife and mother of 3 teenagers. Life is full and always interesting.

Here are my friends that I am tagging:
Crystal Creates
Cinna-Minnies
Handmade Doll Clothes
Ragtree Funky Sculpture
Crafters BS

Tag - you're it!

Have fun!

Bunny or Bear??

Happy Easter Bear with bunny ears
This turned out too cute not to share. It is the only new Easter gift I will be adding this year as I am running out of time. But, I did think my Happy Easter Bear turned out very cute.


So what do you think? Is this a bear or a bunny? Does it really matter??? If it's too cute for you to resist buying, visit the link and purchase today! Last day to order for Easter gifts is March 14th. This gift comes with a chocolate bunny and a miniature basket of Easter eggs with a little yellow chick just "peeping" over the rim of the basket.
Easter is March 23 this year - seems very early!!

It's Graduation Time - Here are some Fun Gift Ideas!

With the hope of spring dawning (we in the mid west pray that it dawns SOON!), comes the thought that school will be ending soon. I have a junior in high school, so next year at this time, we will be nearing a frenzy of activity surrounding her graduation. What a momentous occasion, what a milestone in her life! Such occasions always make me think of gift giving, and what would be the perfect gift to capture this moment. There are some wonderful graduation gifts that can be given - cash is always good, luggage, other items needed in college, there are lots of things to choose from. My niece is graduating from high school and I have already purchased a special picture frame and a book, but she will also be receiving a special Graduation Teddy Bear.

Graduation Teddy Bear Gift in black robe



We offer several teddy bears dressed in a robe with a traditional cap and tassel. If you want the robe in the same color as the graduate's, we will do that if we can - and we usually can. That goes for the tassel, too. We try to make the teddy bear's clothing match the graduate's as much as possible.




Doctorate Graduation Bear

There are variations on this basic design. We have done doctorate's robes with beret type hats instead of traditional caps, and stoles. Again, we try to make the clothing match the graduate's as much as possible. We always include a pseudo diploma and you can add shoes if you want.




Custom Doctorate BearWe did a custom doctorate bear that is not on my website yet, but is something we can do for you. The customer chose her degree colors for the stole and chevrons, we added a personalized cross-stitch heart, shoes, a stand, even some eyelashes and a bit of blush to make it very female.




Medical School Graduation Teddy Bear GiftMaybe the graduate you are buying for is graduating from medical school. We can do traditional robe with cap or beret, etc, and add a stethoscope. You have just made a very personal graduation gift!







Dental Hygienist Bear, graduation giftThere's another way to approach a graduation gift for someone graduating from college with a professional degree. We offer a variety of Professional Teddy Bears that would make great gifts to acknowledge all that hard work and the wonderful results! For instance, we offer several from the medical field - Doctor, Eye Doctor, Surgeon, Dentist, Nurse, Dental Hygienist and Veterinarian.




Hairdress Bear, graduation giftWe also offer some other graduation gifts that you might not find anywhere else. How about a Hair Stylist Bear, Chef, Police Officer, Business Executive, Teacher, Computer Analyst, Realtor, Aerobics Instructor, or Car Mechanic? Have some fun with your graduation gifts and let us dress a teddy bear that fits the occasion. We are always open to your ideas, too.

The Grand Finale of the Teddy Bear Challenge

We have finally reached the last week of the Teddy Bear Challenge, I am referring to this week's new items as the Grand Finale. Check out our special celebration page and enjoy the fun.


For the ten weeks of the Teddy Bear Challenge, I added a total of 33 new products. What started out as a goal to add 10 new products over a 10 week period grew considerably. For the final week, I added a total of 5 new products, including the last two of my holiday items. Let's start with those.



Choco-Latta Bear Gift, dark brown bear comes with chocolateChoco-Latta Bear is designed to be given as a gift with that ultimate special gift - Chocolate! He gets his name both from the bag of chocolate that he comes with, and because of the color of his fur.





Snow Angel Bear, Winter and Christmas holiday decor in blue and silverSnow
Angel Bear
is an elegant decor item. Dressed in a light blue dress with silver snowflakes and silver trim, she gives the hint of winter and cold weather, yet brings the warmth associated with the good things of Christmas and winter holidays.





Angel Family of Bears, Mama, sons, and daughtersThe
Angel Bear Family is a sentimental display, or maybe a gift of encouragement to someone. Shown with Mama Angel, 2 young son angels, and 1 baby daughter angel, it comes with my original poem about mothers and children. The great thing about this gift arrangement is that you choose the family members you want.





Computer Geek Bear



Computer Geek Bear is quite a nerd! Does he look just like some loveable nerd you know? He comes with a bowtie that is askew, a yellow pocket protector, glasses that have been broken and fixed with white tape, and his very own miniature laptop. He'd never be caught without a computer of some kind!!




Realtor Bear, Real Estate Agent gift



Last, but not least, we have Realtor Bear, the very successful Real Estate Agent. In her very large
bag, she carries her "Home for Sale" sign, and the last home has been "SOLD". Included is her ever present calculator for figuring out those mortgage payments. This bear comes with a stand for easy display.





If you have come along on this journey of new products, I hope you have enjoyed the ride as much as I have enjoyed the "driving". I have accomplished a goal that I set, I have added items that were waiting to be finished for over a year, I have discovered the joys of sticking with something even when it was hard. We will be taking a break from creating new products and adding them to our site while we help our customers with their Christmas Shopping. If I don't post again until after the new year, have a wonderful Thanksgivng, Christmas, and holiday season with family and friends.

Santa's Reindeer and the Three Bears!

The holidays are fast approaching and I am busily trying to get ready
in one way or another. That means the blog gets left behind.
So, I will just talk about 4 of my new bears from the last two weeks
in this posting, and one of those is really a reindeer!!


Week #8 of the Teddy Bear Challenge brought 2 new baby
boy gifts
, 1 reindeer and 1 thoughtful bear.


Santa's Reindeer, Christmas gift or decorLet's start with the reindeer. This is Santa's Reindeer and first rate helper. His name is Rudi, the Reindeer Dude. He helps Santa deliver packages all over the world on Christmas Eve, and boy is he tired! When they get to a house where Santa has lots of packages to unload, Rudi takes some time to sit down and relax. He sees some reindeer food and is enjoying that, when he spies the mug of chocolate left for Santa! What a treat!! Now if he could just find that glass of milk or cup of cocoa, life would be perfect.





Someone is Thinking of You Bear, thoughtful message teddy bear gift
Someone is Thinking of You Bear lets you send a thoughtful, personal message across the miles. I designed this one to be sent by someone living in Kansas to someone living in a different state. The message on the t-shirt says "Someone in Kansas is thinking of You". I added some colorful sunflowers in her hand and sunflower fabric pants to complete the "Kansas" theme. This can be done in other colors with other flowers to create your own personal gift.





Week #9 brought another 4 new bears, 2 are described below. The other two are a Male Music Teacher Bear and a Singing Cowgirl Bear.


Pass the Dice Bear, teddy bear gift for dice game enthusiastsPass the dice, this bear is ready to roll!! That's the fun message that the Pass The Dice Bear is ready to send to someone who loves to play dice games. This bear was designed with Bunco players in mind, but could be adapted to other dice games such as Yahtzee and Farkel. She comes with 3 di in her hand, showing a Bunco, and the bell to ring to start the game. There are also 3 tiny di on the ribbon in her hair. She is just for fun, a gift that recognizes someone's special interest in a dice game.





Good Mornin Mama BearLast, but certainly not least, is one of my favorite new bears, Good Mornin' Mama Bear! Does this look like you in the mornings? Or maybe your mom or grandmother? This is a "just for fun" bear that I really enjoyed putting together. She comes dressed in a colorful housedress, teddy bear slippers (I also have bunny slippers and chickie slippers available at this time), glasses and 3 curlers in her hair. Her cup is filled with her morning coffee and she is ready to sit down and read her newspaper. This bear makes me smile, maybe it would someone on your gift list smile, too!


Next week is my last week of the Teddy Bear Challenge and I am planning a Grand Finale!! Stay tuned and then get ready to shop. Get your Christmas gift list out and start thinking about who might like one of these fine teddy bears (or other animals). Don't forget to read about my early shopper discount!

Holiday Teddy Bears on Parade!

Here it is Week #7 of the Teddy Bear Challenge, and I haven't even posted about Week #6 yet! Sometimes life just gets in the way....



I wanted to feature the new bears from Week #6 because they are my new holiday bears. I also have 3 new Professional Bears that I added just this week. You can always find my newest bears on my What's New page.


For Week #6, I decided to add 6 new holiday bears. Many of these were supposed to have been done for 2006 holidays, but I repeat, sometimes life just gets in the way.....


Mr. Fall Bear decor or giftI have 4 new bears that I call the Mr. Bears. There were 3 of these on my site for other holidays, now there is one for the fall season, one for the winter, and 2 for Christmas. Mr. Fall Bear is dressed in a vest with matching bow tie and top hat, and comes with 3 pumpkins. His vest is made of blue fabric with scarecrows on it. He makes a very nice fall decor item.




Mr. Christmas Bear with santa hatMr. Christmas Bear is a jaunty fellow in his bright, cheery vest and matching bowtie. He wears a Santa hat and has lots of presents that he is bringing to your house. This would be a cute gift to send to someone that you will not be seeing this Christmas.






Mr. Christmas Bear in top hatThe second style of Mr. Christmas Bear is a more elegant version. His vest has
"Season's Greetings" written in gold on it and he wears a black top hat. He is also delivering a poinsettia to your home as jesture of appreciation and to wish you Merry Christmas.




Mr. Snow Bear, winter decorThe last of the new Mr. Bears is Mr. Snow Bear. He comes in white, appropriate for a snow bear I would think, and is dressed in a fun vest with snowmen on it. He wears a black floppy hat that keeps his ears warm as he shovels the snow. He makes cute winter or Christmas decor, or a fun gift, maybe for someone who loves snow but lives in a warmer climate where they don't get much snow.




Let It Snow Bear, winter decor or Christmas giftAnother fun snow gift for someone who loves the snow and just can't get enough of it is the Let It Snow Bear. He is dressed in some cute red pants with snowmen, a red sweater with snowflakes, and his red ear muffs. He's got 3 snowballs all ready for a good snowball fight.







Reindeer Sweater Bear, whimsical Christmas giftThe Reindeer Sweater Bear is a bit of whimsy for the Christmas season. I always laugh just a little everytime I look at his picture. Whimsy is something that is just for fun, maybe a little out of the ordinary, and definitely not something of logic! I think that describes this teddy bear to a "T"! The sweater has a hood with antlers that the teddy bear's face just peeks through. I have added a little jingle bell to the sweater just for fun. The pants have pictures of Santa and gifts on it. If you know someone who needs a little "pick-me-up" this holiday season, this guy just might be the thing to do that.




I have one more holiday item to talk about, but he is already on my site with my other new items for Week #8. Wow, two more weeks to go to complete the 10 week Teddy Bear Challenge! What else will I add? I don't even know the answer to that question. I've added a total of 24 new bears to my site during this challenge. Originally I wanted to get up 1 new item per week. These teddy bears are multiplying like - bunnies!! Did you know I also have bunnies on my site? They are as cute as can be and available in several sizes.


For your holiday gift giving convenience, there are a couple of pages you might want to visit:


*Christmas Gift Ideas - just a few ideas for various groups of people you might be buying gifts for


*Christmas Ordering - I'm offering a discount for any Christmas orders entered before November 15th. Order early and save some money!


Until next time, I remain your personal Teddy Bear Clothier!
