Build-A-Bear Workshop

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say what you want. I may be over 25, but I LOVE me some Build-​a-​Bear.
Who wouldn’t love stuffing your own bunny, bear, dog, elephant, whatever, and sticking a little red heart in it before it’s stitched up, and making a wish on said bear before you dress it up? (Well, both my Bunny and Bear are on the Naked side, but the clothes options are simply adorable. I just prefer my cuddly friends to be… bare. Heh. Get it?)
The staff even manages not to give you that weird look. You know the one. The «Look» that a grown man gets when he goes to Toys R Us alone. That «Look» that says «Hey, You! Adult! This is a KIDS Place. Whatcha think you’re doing here?» They’re friendly and seem to understand that making your own stuffed animal will bring anyone right back to their more simple, innocent days of childhood.
The pricing is right on, too. I was SEARCHING for a Teddy Bear gift all over Denver (And Boulder, and Westminster…) and there are SO few options… and all at over $ 25. I’ve got two animals, the Big Bunny with Glittery Ears *Yup* for about $ 18 and the Little Bear for $ 10. By «Little» I still mean a 12″ bear, all fluffy and soft.
Speaking of soft, they’ll stuff it how you want it, I always leave mine a little «Floppy» so make them all that more snuggle-​able.
Go do it. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll leave with a smile on your face. That’s worth the $ 18 alone.
