A special gift

We were really pleased this week when our red glossy boxes arrived for our deluxe Wonder Bear gift range. They seal magnetically and will last for a long time (useful for storing bear clothes.)

The gift box contains a bear skin, fluff, satin heart, instructions for making the no sew bear,birth certificate and an outfit from a wide selection:
Bedtime clothes
Pirate outfit
Supehero costume
Princess outfit
Football kit
Casual clothes (like the denim dress, blouse and hair bow pictured)

The bear skin can be any from the Wonder Bear top ten - see our spinning bears on http://www.wonderbears.co.uk/ to choose.

The deluxe gift set is ideal for a special birthday gift, Christening gift, a gift for a bridesmaid or page boy or Christmas present and can be posted directly to the lucky child. Price range is £25 to £30.

What we do for our children...

Well Wonder Bear is away for a few days having his photo taken for the new Wonder bears website coming soon.
When discussing Wonder bears with other mums it is interesting to hear tales of children's birthday parties. My own daughter's first invitation to the local soft play centre was a real eye opener for me; and I thought I had seen it all after being a teacher for several years!
After saying hello to the birthday child, all the children vanished into the play area, separately, and didn't come together again until the voice on the microphone announced it was time for tea. I had hoped my daughter would have a lovely chance to get to know her school friends in a relaxed setting. After an 'orange tea' (my favourite description on a busy day, makes fish fingers, chips and beans sound positively nutritious) the children vanished again until home time.
I really hope 'Wonder bears' parties will be remembered and talked about at school afterwards with shared memories and experiences. A birthday party is just the beginning of the journey through various events in a child's life requiring social skills; taking turns, manners, talking and laughing together, making new friends.

Another mum mentioned spending £70 on party bags once - they truly are a bottomless pit. A wonder bear surely beats a bag of plastic bits that usually get lost in the car on the way home.....
