Traditional Holiday Gifts
With daily lives run by cell phones,
e-mails, and “personal digital assistants,” it’s no
wonder Americans feel such a strong desire to reconnect
with family, friends, and tradition during the holiday
season. And what better way to reconnect than by giving
traditional gifts with a handcrafted, personal touch?
Teddy bears have always been a welcomed site on Christmas
morning, especially an old fashion teddy bear, like
the one you remember as a child. The Vermont Teddy Bear
Company handcrafts their teddy bears in the Green Mountains
of Vermont and their bears feature the same fully jointed
design as the first American Teddy Bear made in 1902.
“It’s an old fashioned high quality teddy bear, just
as they describe in their catalog,” said Thomas Frazier,
a Vermont Teddy Bear Customer from New Milford, New
Jersey.
The company has over 100 bears to choose from and each
one is guaranteed for life, so they’re sure to become
old friends. Shoppers can choose a bear that reflects
a person’s hobby, occupation, or lifestyle, such as
the Snowboarder Bear or Biker Bear. The Baby’s First
Christmas Bear can be personalized with baby’s name
on the bib. Or try some tradition with a twist, with
the officially licensed Elvis Bear perfect for that
rock-n-roll lover!
In about the same amount of time it takes to wrap a
present, holiday shoppers can enjoy stress free shopping
by purchasing and sending a personalized, handmade Teddy
Bear through the company’s Bear-Gram delivery service.
In most cases, delivery to the recipient’s doorstep
can be made within 24 hours.
“Last year for Christmas, I wanted to find my wife something
special, and my purchase was all that and more,” said
Tom Reich from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. “The bear was
received ahead of the promised date and in beautiful
condition.”
The company’s embroidery service makes it easy to get
really personal for the holidays. Names and messages
can be stitched or printed on many of the bears’ outfits,
or on Santa hats. Every Bear-Gram gift comes with a
free personalized holiday card and chocolate, all packaged
in a colorful gift box with an air hole so the bear
can “breathe.”
