Is spring finally in the air? My teddy bears hope so! They are yawning and stretching, waking up from their winter nap and are ready to be dressed and sent out to do their gifting job. It's a job that they are very good at, just ask them!
Here are some of their favorite spring time gifts.
We offer a variety of graduation bears with choices of robe and tassel color, personalized heart pillow with name and date or other message, also specialized robes with hoods and berets or tams.
This is a very cute family of bears that would make a great gift for Mom. We can represent up to 4 generations of the family, all come with name tags. There is a variety of teddy bears to choose from for Mom, or talk to us about a custom bear for your special Mom.
The Teacher Angel Bear pictured would make really nice gift for a teacher who has made a big difference in the life of your child. We have other bears to offer as well, including a Music Teacher Bear. We are open to ideas for other specific areas of education and would be happy to work with you on a gift for a history teacher, science teacher, English teacher, etc.
Easter Bunnies and Teddy Bears
These cute bunnies area dressed up for spring and would make a very nice addition to your Easter and springtime decor. We also have some bears dressed up as bunnies, as well as more bunny gift and decor ideas.
If you are in need of a wedding gift, we have some great teddy bears and bunnies that can be personalized with names and date, or just dressed for the occasion. We also have some bears that would be perfect bridal shower centerpieces.
There are several holidays coming up in the next few months. I have teddy bears (and/or bunnies) for all of the major holidays. They can be used as decoration in the home, or as gifts (for all folks 13 or over). You will find links to each of my holiday and gift pages below. Please check them out, you might be pleasantly surprised at what you find.
Even though Valentine's Day is over, I have put all items back on the Valentine's page so that they are available for purchase. Also, I have changed the Sweet Deals page, so you might want to check that out.
Now, for the upcoming holidays. If you like to decorate for St. Patrick's Day, or would like to send a gift to someone who celebrates St. Patrick's Day, I have a few styles of bears designed for the holiday. Some wear vests, others wear sweaters. Some come with shamrocks, some come with the Irish flag. All are dressed appropriately for the holiday.
Easter is on April 4th this year. Again, I have some gift and decorative items in both bunnies and bears. I have bunny ornaments and just cute bunnies dressed for spring. I have teddy bears in easter sweaters, and one in bunny ears! Besides an Easter bunny angel, I also have a lamb angel. I am offering a 25% discount for any item ordered on the Easter page if ordered by March 15th. The coupon code is "bunny".
Jumping to May, I have Teacher's Gifts, Graduation Gifts, and Mother's Day Gifts. It's not too early to start ordering these, particularly the graduation gifts. I hope to have a couple of new products for Graduation coming out in March.
Spring and summer weddings are just around the corner.........

Still lots to choose from on my Sample Sale page. Some of these samples are priced at 40% to 50% off the retail price.

Use code "twit" to get an additional 15% off these already discounted prices. These sweet teddy bears (and bunnies) are in need of a new home.
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.
I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I do have to slip in a few things about Christmas shopping. My deadline for Christmas orders is now set at December 1st.

Much too crowded around here, they can't get the special attention they deserve!!
I also have a coupon listed on this page,

So,arm yourselves with some fantastic coupons and enjoy shopping this Christmas season!
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 ou
r 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!
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.
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.
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.
If 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.
