Friday, January 30th, 2009The next Bear up in our popular lineup of Valentine’s Day gifts is our one and only Love Bandit. We’ve read the books. We’ve done the legal research. Turns out no one can convict you for stealing your Valentine’s heart. That’s why we’ve recruited our Love Bandit Teddy Bear to act as the irresistible accomplice [...]
Valentine’s Day Starting Lineup
Thursday, January 29th, 2009No, we haven’t organized our own Bear football team in celebration of the upcoming Super Bowl. What we have done though is created a great “starting lineup” so-to-speak of Valentine’s Day gifts that give out the best Bear hugs around. And we say it often, but it’s worth saying again: Every Vermont Teddy Bear is [...]
Recession-Proof Love
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009Times are tough. And we’re responding by bringing a bit of humor to this “bear market.” Our new limited-edition “Recession-Proof Love” Bear is sure to be a popular Valentine’s Day gift. We also realize the irony of making a limited-edition, recession-themed Bear with a price tag just under $100. In the words of our VP [...]
Valentine’s Day Cross Training
Monday, January 26th, 2009Valentine’s Day is the number one, busiest time of year for Vermont Teddy Bear and our two sister companies – The PajamaGram Company and Calyx Flowers. As we gear up for another busy season, or “peak” as the main holidays (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas) are dubbed around here, I’ve heard some ask how [...]
The Age of Aquarius
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating their special day under the sign of Aquarius! Ya know, speaking of Aquarius, check out this Custom-Made Bear we created for a customer a few years ago. Wearing a tie-dyed dress and flowers in her fur, this Flower Child was created for a man who wanted a Bear reminiscent of the [...]
Congratulations, President Obama!
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Wow…what a day yesterday. Most of us here at The Vermont Teddy Bear Company watched together as the 44th President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, was sworn into office. How amazing to witness history like that and to feel the positive, hopeful, exciting energy all around. A member of our Bear Crew passed [...]
The Votes are In – Our Inauguration Bear is a Must-Have
Monday, January 19th, 2009In celebration of the inauguration of President Barack Obama, we’ve created a piece of election memorabilia that’s guaranteed to get everyone’s vote. Our new limited-edition Inauguration Bear made its debut on Friday, just in time to commemorate President Obama being sworn into office on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009. Designed from our special, huggably soft, premium [...]
The Cure for Brrrr
Friday, January 16th, 2009There are many reasons to love living in VT. The summers are amazing, Lake Champlain is gorgeous, autumn in the Green Mountains is a sight to be seen, and of course, the snow is very pretty. But let’s face it…enduring subzero temps is not on anyone’s list of reasons why they love living here. And [...]
As Seen on TV - Part III
Thursday, January 15th, 2009Turns out our Vermont Teddy Bears aren’t the only things being spotted on TV these days. In fact, our sister company – The PajamaGram Company – is enjoying a bit of the spotlight too. Our popular Conversation Hearts Pajamas (one of the most popular Valentine’s Day gifts featured on PajamaGram.com) were chosen as one of [...]
As Seen on TV - Part Deux
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Searching through our Bear Blog archives, we were reminded of another “as seen on TV” moment. One of our Doctor Bears was seen on an episode of FOX’s hit series “HOUSE.” Click here to check out the image that “HOUSE” fan and fellow Vermonter Randi captured and posted on a fan blog called “Watching HOUSE.” [...]
