One of the many grateful customers wrote these words of admiration to the largest maker of hand-crafted American-made Teddy Bears, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. Very nice! The teddy bears have been in existence and consumption for over 100 years. Many companies make them and will continue to do that, because people still don’t get tired of the teddy bears. On contrary, they buy more and more. How could you not love these beautiful hand-made creatures?  Some customers are so happy with teddy bears that  they even “cry with happiness” (from another testimonial) for getting a “Get Well” teddy bear, for example.  I only don’t understand, why they have to cry? Just laugh and smile and you’ll live longer!

Located in the pictoresque area of Green Mountains, Lake Champlain and the Andirondacks in Shelburne, Vermont, this company, starting with its building, is full of color, creativity and activity. More than 20 years the factory there are producing thousands and thousands of teddy bears for all ocassions in our life: for Birthday, “Get Well,” New Baby, Love, for Him, for Her, for Mom, for Grandma, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, Sports Bears, Health and Hope, and many other.  If you you are not sure which one to choose, call a Bear Counselor at 1-800-829-Bear.

 I did research the company’s website trying to locate “the cuttest teddy bears I have ever seen,” and finally I found. The Fall Trend No. 1 in Teddy Bears’ Trade.  Vermont company is selling political bears: Palin and McCain, Obama and Biden. One of our readers send me a helpful tip: ”Palin and Biden teddies (guess which costs more)?” Thank you.  I thought they should be priced the same…

Forget about that these prominent political figures are still candidates in the most exciting Presidential (and Vice-Presidentia)l election in the American history.  They bravely fight to be there, and  for the moment they are popular politicians, no matter what media will say.  Teddy bears are selling well. So far, everything seems to be all right. But what about price?  Now it’s up to you to decide and choose.

Kristi Gustafson, a writer, Times Union in Albany, New York, said in her blog (http://blogstimesunion.com/kristi/?p=3129) that  ”…the odd thing about VP candidate bears–Mrs. Palin’s ($125) likeness costs $15 more than J.B. ($110).” You might ask why one teddy bear costs more than another? Don’t you know that everything for women, costs more because you worth it?!

                       The tiara for Princess is attached. A hockey stick is added too,  just in a case. What if there is a need  to defend herself… from media? Don’t you see? It is as good as it gets. The cute teddy bearess is in a fine mood to play with you!  Do you have the same reserve of energy and determination?                                                                 J.B.’s business suit is only elegant and formal, so the price is $15 less. Don’t rush to buy these teddy bears. At the beginning of November they’ll definitely be on sale.  But for now, if you want to do something nice to your children and give them a gift for the holiday season, you can buy the Health and Hope, Good Wishes Fairy Teddy Bear  for about $89.  Well, you see? Fairy has expensive accessories, too. Angel wings and  an adorable, tiny purse are in place. It is a bargain in comparisson with political teddy bears.  And the meaning: Health and Hope! We all need it, especially now when our country is not in the best shape.                          

                                    SOO CUTE! But there is a really funny one for the Sweetest Day, “I’ve Fallen For You Bear” for a bargain price of $69.95 Check http://www.vermontteddybear.com
