Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports: CLOSED:Build a bear (R&G)

Dec 16, 2009

CLOSED:Build a bear (R&G)



1997, a 'beary' big store was birthed....a store that was more than just your run of the mill toy store...it was a store with an entertainment face....a store that's uttered with a smile on every child's face.....the Build-A-Bear Workshop!

We were given the opportunity to review a Build-A-Bear product that would be sent to our home or go to the store and soak in the experience while we chose our product for review. Now we've never ever been to a Build-A-Bear store so we really wanted to see what the buzz was all about......and wow....that sure was a fun experience.



I have to admit that walking into a Build-A-Bear store for a child (and a few adults...like me!)is like walking into a candy store....errr lets change that to a chocolate store (Bunny girl doesn't like candy and we're all choco-lovers!)



We were greeted by a very friendly sales associate who asked Bunny girl to choose a bear/dog/horse/character she wanted to stuff. She chose this cute little 13" floppy eared pooch (She loves dogs) that got stuffed right before us. Bunny girl was asked to hug her puppy to see if he was soft enough and after a few stuffings here and there, the puppy was just the right huggable size!



We then went through my favorite part of the whole experience.....choosing the puppy's heart and preparing it to be placed inside the little pooch. I just adore the heart ceremony! It was so cute watching Bunny girl rub that little barking heart on her nose (so the pup knows who she is), muscles (so the pup is super strong), cheeks (so the pup is happy to see her), forehead (so the pup is super strong), heart (so the pup is brave and has lots of love) and other parts of her body.



To complete the heart ceremony, Bunny girl then had to hold onto the heart, close her eyes tight and make a wish for her puppy.....now how cute is that? The pup was then officially 'heart-stuffed', sewn up and all set to be cuddled. I thought that was it but nooooooo......the sales associate asked how we could take the pooch out without a bath and clothes to keep her warm? ....Oooooooooh!


Now those Build-A-Bear plush fellows sure do have more clothes options than I think I do....and please note this was only one wall. There were racks behind where we were standing with little Disney costumes as well!!

Now it doesn't just stop with clothes....you have shoes, intimates, a drawer full of matching bows and a whole bunch of other accessories. Now don't you wish you were a Build-A-Bear plush?

Once Bunny girl's pooch was fitted with a hep pink jacket, a skirt, shoes and bows she then had to name her pooch. (Now ever since Bunny girl has wanted a sister, she has wanted to name her baby 'G'.....but we've said the name was way too long so since then she has named every thing she has come across 'G'...including this new pooch!)

With a little help, Bunny girl got G's birth certificate ready, printed out and there...we were all set to take G to her new home.



What an experience! I know Bunny girl enjoyed herself and I sure did too! I think every child should try and visit the Build-A-Bear workshop atleast once in his/her lifetime....it will be a visit he/she will remember for a very long time.
