Donating unwanted teddies or even better new ones can help keep children occupied and thereby distracting them from their fears as well as making the hospital a less clinical and frightening place. When I was little I had to undergo an operation. At about the same time, my favourite stuffed toy rabbit developed a hole and the stuffing was coming out. A very nice doctor reassured me that he would do everything possible to fix her, and when I work up; there she was with a nice neat row of stitches to match my own! I was delighted. <b>Tags: </b><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Donate+Teddy+Bears+To+Hospitals" rel="tag">Donate Teddy Bears To Hospitals</a></p>Sat, 19 May 2012 00:38:06 -0500 http://teddybears.lovegiftsshop.com/teddybearsarticles/monogrammed-teddy-bears.phpMonogrammed Teddy Bears<p>If you are searching for the perfect gift for a special someone, consider monogrammed teddy bears.

I was watching one day and saw a lady showing off some really raggedy teddy bears. I thought this poor lady had lost her mind; these teddy bears were old and kind of dirty looking... I kind of felt sorry for her. Obviously, I know very little about teddy bears and their history. I had no idea that antique teddy bears from the Steiff Company could be worth a small fortune. I am still in shock by how much those ratty looking bears are worth. I don&rsquo;t remember the total worth but it was pretty high. These bears in excellent condition might pay for a car and the most bedraggled one could fill up your car at least once. <b>Tags: </b><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Antique+Teddy+Bears" rel="tag">Antique Teddy Bears</a></p>Sat, 19 May 2012 00:38:06 -0500 http://teddybears.lovegiftsshop.com/teddybearsarticles/background-teddy-bears.phpBackground Teddy Bears<p>Teddy Bears first appeared 106 years ago in 1902 making them a relatively new addition to playtimes compared to other traditional toys. Named after the 26th United States President Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt after enterprising Brooklyn shop keeper Morris Michtom created and named 2 stuffed toy bears made by his wife who called them Teddy&rsquo;s Bears. The name teddy bears was perfect after an incident in which the President refused to shoot a tethered bear during a hunting trip. The Bears were very popular and the Ideal Novelty and Toy Corporation was started as demand for them grew and is still in production today. The name has never changed. Why should it; it&rsquo;s perfect. <b>Tags: </b><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Background+Teddy+Bears" rel="tag">Background Teddy Bears</a></p>Sat, 19 May 2012 00:38:06 -0500
