It’s that time of year again where we all think about the year ahead, we think about changes we might want to make, and try to be a bit healthier after all the Christmas indulgences. There are many books out there about greeting a New Year with positivity, about manifesting your goals and letting the Universe provide. While we aren’t sure if manifestation is for us, we truly believe that there are times where the Bear chooses you.
Just like there are many people in the world you could choose to be your mate, there are many Bears in the world you can choose to be your best friend. But is it in fact that the bear chooses you?
Imagine you visit a teddy bear shop and there before you is a whole shelf of Teddy Bears, you glance around, you weren’t planning on buying a Bear today…but there sat slap bang in the middle of the shelf are two big brown eyes staring at you. They capture your attention. The eyes are encased in a big, furry, smiling face and you can’t help but smile back when you see it. The bears paws are slightly higher than the rest of the soft toys…just like he is reaching out to you…because you have been chosen. This Bear will be going home with you today.
A few weeks ago, we had an email from a lovely customer who said she had been searching on our site for a gift for a new baby. Whist doing so she accidently clicked into the section ‘Big Teddy Bears’ and there staring at her was Teddy Gold Braun. A soft, cuddly big golden brown teddy from Teddy Hermann. She said she couldn’t take her eyes off him, in her words ‘it was like he had chosen me’. Needless to say Teddy Gold Braun now has pride of place in the nursery of one lucky little baby boy.
We are all naturally drawn to certain characteristics in things, we have likes and dislikes, colour preferences, qualities that will swing our decision. Our preferences determine our choices on a daily basis. You are unlikely to make the exact same choices as someone else. These preferences are what make us attracted to certain things, so when a certain bear is staring up at you, they possess the qualities you are drawn to.
Sometimes we like to think of ourselves as a Teddy matchmaking service. There are so many Bears out there just waiting to be adopted and be given a loving home. There are so many people out there just waiting to choose you.
It’s so important at the moment to take care of our mental health and Teddy Bears have been shown to aid in better mental health. Read our blog all about it here. Comfort, a friend who will listen, and a warm hug are all things that a Teddy Bear can offer.
We really hope you are all doing ok during this third lockdown, we are still busy packaging and sending out lots of cuddly Bears to deliver hugs to your loved ones, but do message us if you have any questions about anything.
