Halloween Teddy Bears

What will you be doing this halloween? For many of us it's a time of dressing up in our most spookiest costumes, finding the scariest of masks and going through our kitchen cupboard to find the biggest bowl to hold our haul of sweets, gum and maybe a few friendly fruits. It's a time of year when the nights are drawing in early and the cold air is now upon us. Generally our children are happy to venture out into the streets to knock on a few friendly doors, most of whom display some sort of lantern or other halloween ornament to show they are waiting for a knock on their door. Maybe this year you could turn your hand at making an exciting new costume for your favourite teddy bear. Of course as always there are build-a-bear shops that supply their own ready made outfits but wouldn't it be a lovely gift to your teddy this year if you were to sew together your own special costume. The ideas are endless with the obvious witch or warlock, or maybe a pumpkin or skeleton. Maybe you or a relative can turn your hand to knitting or crochet. Sometimes we have an old pair of trousers in the bottom of the wardrobe that are now only good enough for recycling and turning into a new outfit for your special teddy bear. If this is not for you or you just don't have the time this halloween but would like to treat yourself or someone else to a seasonal teddy bear there are many on sale. TY possibly have the largest selection of halloween bears. Me to You have a great halloween figurine. And Bearigton Bears have a wide selection of pumpkin inspired bears and also a lovely fury black cat basket, a great accompaniment to that wonderful costume.

1st Holy Communion Teddy Bears

With the time soon approaching a childs First Holy Communion it is lovely to see now that there are many teddy bears that can be bought to celebrate this special day. Many of the well known companies such as Tatty Teddy now have their very own special bear just for the occasion.

The are teddy bears that have the chalis or dove embroided on the actual bear itself. Or many bears that have a jumper that has been stitched or embroided with the words First Holy Communion. Many of these give the option to have the childs name and date of communion stitched on too.

Or if you cannot find anything that is suitable then there is always the option of buying a teddy bear and then either buying a separate jumper and having it stitched by a company that sews labels by large machinery and have the wording to your choice. Or stitching your very own jumper which has been hand knitted by yourself or a family member or friend. What could be more personal than a handmade gift.

Whether you want only a teddy bear, or also to buy it with chocolates, balloons or flowers you will not find it hard to buy an appropriate bear for your loved one, relation or friend and the look of happiness when it is received makes it all worth while when you are sending teddy bears.
