Like most children when I was little I absolutly loved cuddly toys, I had every sort you could imagine, animals, bears, disney.. this love of cuddly bears has followed me on in life..
In my 30's I still have many of the bears I had when I was little in the spare room in our house piled high on a big rocking chair and there are even more of them in my parents atic, I just cant bring myself to throw them away, I partially think this is because when i was younger they meant so much to me, every bear has a name and I can still name them all..and there are a lot.. Im sure most people can remember the names of there bears they had when they were younger.

There is on bear who has been with me for years and still comes to bed with me which my husband finds most amusing.

I do still love cuddly bears but wouldnt go out an buy them anymore...not until Bear factory was invented!
I just love this shop, a perfect place for all bear lovers, its fun how you can choose your bear, see it get stuffed and even a llittle heart is put inside it. You can then dress the bear and name is and get a birth certificate.
This store is probably aimed at children but both my mum and I have a few bears from there that people have bought us as presents...these ones dont get cuddled though!

Something about cuddly bears that just make you smile... and I believe that if i was to ask you all to raise your hands if you still have a teddy bear I think there will be loads of people that raise their hands with me.
