Build-A-Bear Review AND #Giveaway

February 6, 2014 by Anna

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

I was provided with the Build-A-Bear workshop products and compensated for my time. However, all opinions are my very own.

My children have had their fair share of stuffed animals. That seems to be a standard gift when they are young. But, neither one of them, or myself for that matter, has ever been to a Build-A-Bear Workshop though there is one not too far away from us.

Build-A-Bear Pin

I jumped at the chance to review these “bears” because I thought it would be fun to get my kids opinions on them. BUT, when I got these in the mail I knew immediately that these babies were staying hidden until Valentine’s Day! These “bears” will make my kids so happy! They’ve never gotten Valentine’s gifts quite like these from their dad and I.

*side note – I refer to them all as “bears” when in fact 2 of them are bears, 1 is a lion, & 1 is an elephant.

Let me just say that I was extremely impressed right out of the box by these products. The bears are obviously top quality materials and going to last lots of “love” from my kids and any of their friends that play with them. And the accessories! They are just as quality as the bears themselves. The shoes on the two boy bears literally look like real “chucks” and they are heavy just like them as well! Accessories for anything will draw me in every time!

Don’t just take my word for it. Check out these awesome babies here:

Big Hearts Bear

Build-A-Bear-19

PinkRed Build-A-Bear

 

Big Top Bearemy

Build-A-Bear-4

 

Brown Build-A-Bear

 

Tons of Love Elephant

Build-A-Bear-8

Elephant Build-A-Bear

Huge Hearted Lion

Build-A-Bear-17

Lion Build-A-Bear

 

How adorable are these?! We are choosing to give my daughter the Tons of Love Elephant and my son the Huge Hearted Lion. They even came with carrying cases and the birth certificates that you or your kids can fill out!

Want to win a Build-A-Bear Workshop giftcard? We are giving a $50 gift card away! *BONUS this giveaway is open to US AND Canada!*

Enter to win in the form below.

Giveaway winner will be announced Thursday Feb 13th! Just in time for Valentine’s Day!
