Choosing a teddy bear for someone can be tricky, adult or child. There’s so many available, they are all so cute! But how do you guess what a person might like? One way is to match teddy bears with personalities and choose a bear or soft toy that they would love based on shared characteristics.
Choosing the perfect teddy bear
We use the phrase teddy bear for all soft toys, regardless of the type of animal in question. Let’s face it, the teddy lion doesn’t sound right! But there are lots of teddies of different animals and choosing by personality often means going beyond the classic bear-shaped bear.
For the shy or laid-back person
Let’s take the shy person as an example. A fun one to get for them might be a soft toy of a porcupine who is known for hiding themselves when people look at them. They are also solitary animals who don’t spend much time around others.
For the laid-back person, something like a teddy bear sloth would be the perfect match. With their reputation for being laid back, almost a little lazy, their cute teddy bear version will bring a smile to someone’s face.
For the young at heart
We all know them, the adults that never grow up, the young at heart. They still love watching their favourite cartoons and animated movies and wearing t-shirts of their favourite characters.
The best teddy bear to get someone like this is obviously their favourite cartoon character. But if you can’t get that exact character, then any cartoon type teddy bear will be an instant hit with them.
For the happy free spirit
There are a few options for the happy free spirit, the person who sees the best in life. Something on the cute side is always a good bet so rabbits and mice are great options. Something bouncy like a kangaroo would make a good match.
The free-spirited but strong person would also appreciate a teddy bear tiger. These represent strength and determination but are also still super cute in teddy bear form.
For the confident person
As a confident person what teddy they want, and they’ll probably tell you they don’t need one – ignore them! Everyone needs a teddy bear. But strong animals are a good match for them and something like a lion is perfect. Majestic, strong and the leader, the lion will be teddy they can relate to.
For someone with raw emotions
Some people are naturally very emotional or simply going through a period of life where emotions are raw and near the surface. Recordable teddy bears are a good option here where you can record a special message to help them feel better. Or classics such as cats or dogs will make great companions.
Pairing the perfect person to teddy
There’s a bit of psychology involved with pairing someone with a teddy bear to get the best results. But by using a little of this, you can give a gift that they’ll love even more than normal.
