Christmas Teddy Bears

Christmas teddy bears are in our shops now. Yes, Christmas shopping has begun already and some of us will have been putting away the odd present during the year too! Once again new shops are springing up just for your Christmas décor. But what I love the most is the large array of new teddy bears that will be on sale as a special Christmas gift. From Tatty Teddys which are priced cheap enough for anyone to buy to the more expensive Steiff Bears which we would all love to own at least one. The teddy bear craze has once again begun.




People have been buying teddy bears as gifts for Christmas for over a century. We all love the cute and cuddly bears sometimes as a reminiscence of our childhood and others as a romantic gesture for our loved ones.

Big Teddy Bears

Teddy bears come in all sizes. They range from very small teddy bears to very big teddy bears. The worlds largest teddy bear, Evan, holds the new world record reaching a staggering 61 feet tall. The largest stitched teddy bear measures an amazing 55ft 4in in length. This bear was exibited in Kansas, USA.

Some other interesting record breakers for teddy bears are the longest soft toy/human chain. This included 2,623 people, each holding a soft toy and was held in South Africa. The largest collection of Winnie the Pooh Bear and Friends is held by Deb Hoffmann from the USA. Her collection contains 4,405 different items. The most expensive teddy bear was sold at auction on 14 October 2000 at Christie's, Monaco.


It's a Guinness World Italian Record.
