When it comes to finding a unique gift for my kids (and even nieces and nephews), I always know I can count on Build-A-Bear Workshop. Their collection of cuddly friends is outstanding. I love the opportunity they give to children (and maybe even adults) to make their own stuffed animal! Whether it's something for yourself, or someone else...it's a great way to create a very personal and meaningful gift.
I used to think the only way to make a stuffed animal from Build-A-Bear Workshop was to go into an actual store. Living over an hour from the nearest one doesn't always make that very easy, which is why I was excited to learn last Christmas that they offer a super cute collection of featured pals online. Build-A-Bear Workshop has a great selection of cuddly friends and accessories right on their website, making it possible to purchase and make adorable gifts with the click of a button! How neat and convenient is that?! You can even customize them with a song!
Recently I browsed their website and found it to be very user-friendly. There are categories along the side that make it easy to search by holiday, animal and more. I enjoyed checking out the affordable gift ideas for children especially! Their Christmas Collection is absolutely adorable! I couldn't have been happier when I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review both Clarice and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer!
When our Deer and Doe arrived in the mail, it was like we had just left the Build-A-Bear Workshop store. They were each housed in the adorable signature box you find in the Build-A-Bear Workshop stores, each even including the birth certificate.
We also received a really cute stocking in our package as well. From November 12 through today (November 24th), Build-A-Bear Workshop is giving away a free stocking with each purchase of $30 or more.
I had a feeling Kaelyn and Kaden would be tickled to meet their new friends, and I was right! Kaelyn is a huge fan of the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer story and, since receiving it has not wanted to put Clarice down! Kaden is especially fond of Rudolph's nose.
One thing I did not expect, and was pleasantly surprised to find, was that each reindeer lights up and talks! What a great bonus! Rudolph's nose lights up when his ear is pushed. He then recites actual lines from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer movie! Clarice has a heart on her chest that lights up when her ear is pushed. She also talks and recites some of her lines from the movie as well. It is adorable! I love that their voices sound like the real thing. Kaden and Kaelyn both really like to push their ears and hear them talk.
There are many great options to choose from right on the Build-A-Bear Workshop website this holiday season. If you're looking for the perfect unique gift for a child on your list, or great stocking stuffers, be sure to check the furry friends and accessories offered at BuildABear.com.
