Our personalized teddy bears are wonderfully special - they have a huge tummy which we will embroider with a name, initials or a message of your choice. His flat bottom means he can be carried around, or sit on display on a shelf as a room decoration. Our handmade, plush bears are selected because they are so huggable. For ages 3 and up. His face and feet are a cream color, with a button nose and eyes. Teddy bears have a long history and it is believed President Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt is responsible for the Teddy bear name. A cartoon of the president with a bear cub inspired a Brooklyn New York store owner, whose wife was making toy bears, to write to the president and ask permission to use the teddy bear name. Since that time the teddy bear has become a popular children's toy and also a collectible for adults. A teddy bear promises unconditional love, acceptance and reassurance. He will cheer you up when you're feeling down, make you feel better when your sick, be your confidant, your bedtime buddy, and will be a source of comfort and joy.
