Are you looking for something a bit different to give your children for an Easter present instead of cholocolate and sweets.

We had a great response to our competition in February’s Primary Times magazine (Edinburgh & Lothians Edition). We would like to thank everyone that sent in a drawing of one of our bears in their favourite outfit. They were all great and it was very difficult to choose our prize winners.

Congratulations to our winner - Molly Young, Age 9 from Kings Meadow Primary School, Haddington. She wins a bear making party for 10 people.

Molly drew a lovely picture of a bear in our Bumble Bee Outfit.

Congratulations also go to our two runners up:

Lauren Dickson Age 8 from Buckstone Primary School, Edinburgh.

Lauren drew our ‘Mrs Threads’ bear wearing Pink PJ’s and Bunny Slippers. Well done Lauren!

and Yasmin McAinsh Age 7 from Blackhall Primary School, Edinburgh.

Yasmin drew a bear wearing our Red Cheerleader Outfit, I am guessing she must be a High school Musical fan!

Lauren & Yasmin win a Bear Making Kit of their choice.

Once again thanks to everyone that sent in a drawing, they were all fantastic!

Now that High School Musical 3 is out on DVD why not have a themed bear making party. We have lovely outfits that would suit any High School Musical Fan. We have our fantastic red cheerleader outfit that comes complete with pom poms. If you are more of a Sharpay fan why not try lovely pink ladies suit with pink bag - its fabulous! Not leaving the boys out, for Troy or Chad fans we have a red basketball outfit complete with basketball so your bear can shoot some hoops! Go Wildcats!

Check this out - mini kits en-mass ready to use as party bags!  Huggy Bears mini-kits are great for parties, but even if you are having a different kind of party, they are great for use as party bags - and great value too, especially during January when all our kits are on special offer, buy ten get one free.  That means if you buy 11 kits they work out at just £5 each when you take the special offer into account (count up what you usually spend on a party bag and you might be pleasantly surprised).  And your guests get a lovely Huggy Bears kit to take home, which is something they will treasure.

Bear Making Party after the Party - or even Dog Making

How cute are these party bags!

If you live in Edinburgh and the Lothians, look out for the next edition of the Primary Times, which is due out next week.
