I am a hugger. I am not going to get all up in your space about it, but I totally appreciate a well timed, quality hug. Right now my two boys are the recipients of most of my hugs, but I have plenty to go around. Sadly, many of my closest friends are not within hugging distance.
Enter Teddy Bear Gift Baskets.
The Serious Teddy Bear Company is a way to show someone you care with a unique gift that will definitely bring a smile to their face. When I came home from vacation there was an ordinary box on my front step waiting for me. But when I opened it, I discovered a beautifully packaged gift box containing the softest bear I have ever touched, a box of candy, The Hug Therapy book and a small “you have been hugged” token. My bear came with a customized “just because’ note as well. After a long drive I was delighted to find this happy little guy waiting for me! (I got the vanilla bear)
Serious Teddy Bear gifts can be customized for just about any occasion such as Valentine’s Day teddy bears. The bears come in two sizes (20 inches and 14 inches) and three colors (Midnight, Amber and Vanilla). You can choose from one of the many ready to ship packages or create your own. Prices start at $39.95 and go up from there depending on the additions you may choose.
I have to admit that this is probably not the type of gift I would have considered sending to someone in the past, but after having opened my adorable bear I have a totally new perspective!
This giveaway ends January 14th and a winner will be chosen by random.org and announced Sunday in the weekly Around The Blogosphere. Please see our site’s terms and conditions for more information.

I would love to send this to my teenage son. With the economy we have pretty much lost everything after I was laid off. I have tried hard not to let it affect him at such a crucial time in his life but not sure I will be able to keep it up. Would love to send him a hug and let him know that I love him and understand how he feels right now.
Awww so cuddly!!! Would love to win one!!! Thanks!!!

I would give the Serious Bear to my son. I have never seen a child-boy or girl- who adores their stuffed friends more than he does. He is 7 years old and still hasn’t outgrown his love for them. They sit in a circle and watch him play video games. They make a train through the house. He talks to them. He has a few special ones that get to sleep with him every night and several others that vary constantly that get to crowd in bed with him. He is not the slightest bit embarrassed about it, lol. His choice from the Scholastic club at school this month was a book called The Love Puppy that came with a little stuffed dog and he just had to have it. I actually tried to discourage him and asked him if he was a little worried that his friends would tease him, because the book is all Valentine pinks and reds. He said I don’t care, lol.
My two year old neice would love it
I would send it to my SIL.
I’d send it to my brother’s wife because I feel bad for her that he’s not around as much as he should be.
It might sound silly but I would send one to my husband who is in Afghanistan right now. Although we miss him so much I know that he misses us even more as he misses all the hugs from our children that I am lucky enough to get everyday.
