I just made my first and it was for new grandson Tyler - he even flew over to Japan with mein the cabin of course! I had a GREAT time building it and I think that pink poodle is PERFECT for a two year old girl! (or a 50 year old grandma ) In Barney (the bear for Tyler) I recorded a 15 second thingie that said I love him and then kissie sounds His other grandma - Carol - persianmom, told me about the place and showed me how to make one, and she made one too.
Anna- your niece will LOVE your gift I know!! Wait until she finds the cute undies and all

Thats really cute! I think she'll love it!

My daughter made one of those when she was in Las Vegas at New Years.

A few years ago I had a participant in a class I was teaching who worked at Build A Bear headquarters. I had never heard of them so she gave me gift certificates and I went to the closest one. I made Don a cat....a yellow one. I was a bit embarrassed doing it and bringing it home on the plane but it was fun.

Some of Edwina's costumes come from there.

All corporate employees have "Bear" in their title....the CEO is Chief Bear Officer, etc.... really interesting company -- started and still run by a woman....

That's a very cute one you made!

This is soooo cute!! I'd love to make a dachshund, it's a shame that there aren't Build a bear here...

Debbie, Sandra has my voice recorded in one paw saying
"Allison, Aunt Anna & Uncle Mark love you very much. Have a happy birthday!" and the other paw is a puppy bark

I didn't think it was corney but yes, I can say I felt a little silly when the lady kept making me turn circles, until she finally told me why

True, it is a little pricey...but Allison is so worth it!

And I know she's a little young to understand what and all I did to make it, but I thought I'd type it all up on some pretty paper and laminate it, then when she's old enough to understand her mom can tell her how much she means to me and what I did for her

I think the hardest thing was trying to decide how I wanted to dress her and what I wanted her name to be!

Glad I'm not the only "older" kid around here

I love Build-a-bear (I'm such a geek ) I have an orange kitty named Cinnamon, but she had an unfortunate incident with my real orange kitty Pumpkin. (Pumpkin ate Cinnamon's whiskers off )

They have a new white kitty that I want to make..

Hey Big Kid Did you find the website? You can order online, just don't think you'd get to do the stuff I did (and by that I mean feel silly spinning around chasing my tail)
And as for expensive, honestly I didn't think it was too bad. Mine was $58 and some change.

Neko, I seen the new white kitty and almost got that instead of the puppy it was so cute! Oh and I'm sorry to hear about Cinnamon's whiskers

Anna,

YES - I found the site, and they have 2 store in the WHOLE OF AUSTRALIA - based up in Sydney. (I was up in Sydney on Monday and Tuesday, DAMN - wish I had known then)

I can order online apparently, so will have to investigate. Although, I think I would love to go to the store!!!!!

I am certain I will end up chasing my tail too .........

[swimma253]

If you cant get to a store... I know you can order them off the website. Although, the fun is in personally making the bear. They have a couple different breeds of dogs too, and some part of the price (of the dog) goes to the SPCA.
