Personalised Teddy Bears make Unique Christmas Gifts for all the Family

Sometimes shopping for Christmas Gifts and Christmas Presents for all the family can be a frustrating undertaking, I know I come from a large family and have 4 younger sisters and always wonder what Christmas Gifts to get them. I also need to buy a Gift for Granny who is in her eighties,a Gift for Auntie Peg and a Gift For my Special Little Nephew Joseph and that\'s just for starters! Well last year I sat down and gave it some serious thought, what gift would be most suitable for all of them, something they would love and cherish, what gift would appeal to them all? After trawling through internet gift sites I came across a web site that Personalises Teddy Bear Gifts. It was like a breath of fresh air, for we all know everyone loves a Teddy Bear and they make perfect christmas presents. For my younger Sisters I chose creamy coloured Teddy Bears with Purple Hooded Tops which were expertly embroidered with a Lovely Soft Pink heart and their names running through the heart (reminds me of that song by Terence Trent Darby \'sign your name across my heart\') in a silver metallic thread. After I had done this the site gave me an option to chose Christmas cards and personalise each one, which I did with Happy Christmas and their names on the front and love from me on the inside with some kisses. For Granny I chose a Grape Coloured Teddy Bear with a lilac top (her favourite colour) and had this embroidered with a Happy Christmas Granny message with a small heart and kisses added. As Auntie Peg is a fanatical Liverpool supporter but wheel chair bound, it had to be a red top which I had embroidered with Walk on Walk on Auntie Peg With Hope in Your Heart. She has a great sense of humour and appreciated the irony of the message. There was even a greetings card showing a Teddy Bear holding a red scarf with the words \'Gerrard\' on, a perfect gift for her. she cried when she recieved it on Christmas day and this little keepsake is always sitting on her TV, she says it\'s her lucky mascot and she wouldn\'t watch a match without her little Teddy Bear pal being there, Bless!

Now when it came to get a Christmas Present for Joseph it dead easy, he was a Special Nephew and I got the Teddy Bear personalised to say exactly that. To a Special Nephew Joseph Happy Christmas love from Paul, with a little star and some kisses. His mother tells me he carries this Teddy Bear around with him wherever he goes and people often stop them and ask where he got it from. He always says \'My uncle Paul made this for me and it\'s a special Teddy Bear. Cousin Anna had been through a hard time lately so I thought I would get a Christmas Teddy Bear Gift made for her that would surely brighten up her Christmas Day and sent her a honey coloured Teddy Bear with Thinking of you this Christmas Anna (her name was embroidered in two colours) and Lots of love from Paul & Family. Hers was the first phone call we had that Christmas day, she was over the moon with her Christmas Present. It did exactly what it was intended to do, put a big smile on her face and love in her heart and let her know that we were all thinking of her this Christmas. My Uncle George had married a lovely Italian Girl called Amantea which roughly translated means morning light ( my daughters name is Lucy Dawn which if you think about is very similar) and she always complained she could never find anything with her name. Well George couldn\'t believe it when she opened her Christmas Present and saw her name embroidered on the Teddy Bear and printed on the Gift Card, Bellisima, Bellisma che il suprise ,she cried out loud squezzing her cuddly Christmas Teddy Bear Gift. As I was ordering these lovely Teddy Bear keepsakes I was so sure that these gifts unlike so many others would be so galdly recieved and appreciated that I found the whole process addictive and it got me thinking about who else would like a Personalised Teddy Bear Gift for Christmas. Well there was Cynthia, now she\'s a bit hard faced and tight as the proverbial ducks rear end, and she has a habit of phoning people a month before Christmas saying \' I\'m not sending out any Christmas Presents this year as I can\'t afford it (she\'s minted!). Anyway I spoke to the other members of my family and we all clubbed together and sent her a Personalised Teddy Bear Gift that said: \'We sent you this Teddy Bear at Christmas Cynthia and hope it brings you good fortune\' hopefully she got the message! Next door to us lives a spinster Miss Althorpe a very prim and proper woman straight from the old school but none the less a very lovely lady with a big big heart of gold, she would do absolutely do anything for anyone. Over the years she has done countless favours for our family and on visiting her bungalow I had noticed she was an avid Teddy Bear collector, so there wasn\'t a better Christmas Present we could get her. Out of all her Teddy Bears she had never got one that had been personalised just for her. Miss Althorpe\'s Teddy Bear was personalised with the message. To the Best Neighbour Ever, and was a Teddy Bear Gift that took pride of place in her collection of Teddy Bears. It was a great way for us show our appreciation and sincere thanks for all her help over the years. I had wondered what I could get as a Christmas Present for Alison a Niece who had been born on Christmas Day and was always difficult to chose for as combining a Birthday Gift with a Christmas Gift is not the easiest of tasks. How about this: I ordered a Teddy Bear Gift with the following message On Your 18th Birthday Alison Happy Christmas Love Paul, Gill & Ella. That bring us on to Ella our lovely 6 year old Chocolate Labrador, thinks she\'s still a puppy and mad as a hatter. Now Gill my Wife has been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis and has been unable to walk the dog, so we enlisted the help of a family friend Carol and she takes Ella out for walkies on days I\'m unable to do it. We thought we would send her a Christmas Gift from Ella to show both ours and the dogs appreciation. Soppy?, silly maybe, sincere yes very! Carol was delighted with her Teddy Bear Gift Thanks for taking me for Walkies Carol Love Ella Woof Woof. I still had my thinking cap on and thought what about Aitor who runs a tapas restaurant and comes from Navarra, Pays Basco. He is a good mate of mine who has for many years sent me as a Chrismas Present very expensive Iberican Jamon.Now this is no ordinary ham, the pigs feed on acorns and the ham is so so sweet. On the web site there was a page for Corporate Teddy Bear Gifts that are produced by their sister company Flyingbears in Blackpool. I called up Scott on 01253 408666 and asked him if it was possible to make Aitor some Teddy Bears as a Promotional Gifts for his Restaurant. Scott had already a file with the Ikurina the flag of the Basque people and he skillfully embroidered Pinxto above the Flag. Aitor was made up when he recieved his Promotional Teddys Bears and to date has re-ordered five times as he now not only give these Teddy Bears away to large parties who frequent his restaurant but sells them and makes a nice little profit from them

Last but definately NOT least was a Christmas Present for my long suffering Wife Gill and I desperately wanted to show her how much I appreciated her especially as the last few months have been extremely diffucult for her. I had previously seen some Larger Teddy Bears for sale on website but noticed these were being sold on the new section for only £29.95 delivered anywhere in the UK and accompained by a FREE personalised Greeting Card. I chose a lovely Fudgie Honey coloured Big Teddy Bear for her and had it embroidered with a very personal message. She loved her Special Teddy Bear Gift. I was amazed at the speed of delivery for these gifts taking into consideration that they all have to be individually personalised, the website says that if you order before 1pm your personalised gifts will be dispatched the same day, no wating and hoping the Christmas Presents you have ordered will arrive on time, no trapsing around the shops looking for inspiration.

I set an amount of £20 to spend on christmas presents so was the perfect gift offering for me, it also save me the hastle of having to find suitable Christmas cards or post goods to Europe. So when you start thinking about buying Christmas Presents for your family, go to website and enjoy your shopping experience this Christmas. and never forget this little ditty. Teddy Bears are not just for Christmas. The make great gifts for every occasion. Gifts that allow you to express your true feelings in a sincere and meaningful way and show the recipient how much you have thought about them when chosing their Unique and Special Gift. Great Gifts for Christenings, Happy Birthday Gifts, Anniversary Gifts
