There are far too many variations of these to list them individually. Suffice it to say that we have done them to celebrate or mark innumerable special events, and always with embroidered words, motifs, colours, decoration and/or clothes that are imaginatively appropriate. For instance, children’s birthday bears have pictures and names on them. Baptism bears have a cross and a name, or the words ‘My Godbearant’. Anniversary bears have a motif relating to the number of years. Retirement bears have been embroidered to fit the person’s character or hobbies. Mascot bears are popular for businesses. A thoughtful reminder of a sad event is a Caring bear.
