Buying a Personalised Teddy in 2021

19th May 2021 /Posted bybe4Rs4Y0 / 0

There are lots of reasons to buy a personalised teddy. Of course, all Teddy bears are special whether they are personalised or not. They make us happy and give us a warm feeling inside. Adults and children have been homing teddies and soft toys for over 100 years. 

What are the main reasons to buy a customised bear? They can indeed be sent for any reason or in fact for no reason at all but we thought it would be fun to analyse the Google Data behind the top reasons people buy a personalised cuddly gift to send in the post to a loved one.

top reasons for sending a personalised teddy
Top reasons for buying a personalised teddy in 2021
  1. To celebrate the Arrival of a New Baby

           According to the office of National Statistics there are around 1800 babies born every day in England. With a teddy bear featuring high on the list of baby gifts that is quite a lot of teddies that will be finding themselves in new homes.

          Our statistics of orders show pretty much an equal split of soft toys gifts that are sent to boys and girls. With slightly higher cuddly animals going to boys over traditional bears.

The most popular names we have embroidered on jumpers in 2020/2021 for new baby teddy bears were as follows:

most popular names embroidered on teddy bears
Most popular babies names embroidered on teddy jumpers in 2021

 

Of course, there is always a great variety of more unusual names for those that like to be a bit different. For girls some of the slightly more unusual names that we have liked were Cordelia and Theodora. For boys we noticed ‘August’ making a fairly frequent appearance following the birth of Princess Eugene’s son ‘August’. There are always a lot of celebrity inspired baby names doing the rounds.

Analysing our date for bears sent in the UK we can see that the top buyers for this gift are Grandparents followed by Aunties and Mummy and Daddy!

Here at Bears4u we love seeing the orders for new babies. It is an exciting time for all and we always feel privileged to be given the job of providing a First Teddy Bear for the new arrival. A cute and cuddly bear customised with the babies’ name, date of birth and weight is a very important gift to welcome the arrival of new life. What better occasion could there be to be part of the celebration?

  • A Birthday

Birthdays are special and deserve to be celebrated. They mark another year on this planet.  Birthdays are a time to celebrate, reflect on the year gone by and make wishes for the future.

After the year we have just had where most of us had to celebrate our birthdays in Lockdown, this year we deserve something a little extra. Of course, at the moment we still not be able to have the celebration that we would really like but marking the occasion with a unique gift can make someone feel special and lets them know they are loved.

You probably won’t be surprised to know that our data shows the occasion that the gets the highest number of teddy deliveries is a First Birthday! Looking at how our customers search on Google we can see that this is the top search. Followed by 18th Birthday, 50th Birthday and 90th Birthday! Yes, older people love bears too! Read our blog about this here.

Whether it is a First Birthday for a very special little one, an 18th  celebration, a 21st  key to the door, a 40th and fabulous or an amazing 100th every milestone deserves to be celebrated.  

Have a look at all of our birthday teddy bears here.

  •  I Love You

What better way could there be to send a cuddle to a loved one? A soft, cute teddy with a romantic message embroidered on the jumper is a sure way to win someone’s heart.

During the month of February, according to Googles Data, over 40,000 people search for a personalised teddy bear to be delivered to their loved ones for Valentine’s Day. You can see all of our Valentine’s Day teddy bears here.

Our statistics show that the most romantic people are:

LUKE  ALEX, MOHAMMED, ALI , KEIRAN  

GEMMA, LOUISE, BETH, AMY, EMILY                                                     

The most romantic cities in terms of people that send valentine’s day gifts are

  1. BELFAST
  2. NEWCASTLE
  3. LIVERPOOL
  4. NOTTINGHAM

So, the Northerners win this hands down!

The biggest spenders for Valentine’s Day Gifts are:

  1. 30 – 35

  1. 55 – 60
  2. 50 – 55
  3. 35 – 40
  • Christmas

Christmas – that very special time of year when we all go a little bit crazy with our spending buying gifts for our loved ones. According to the Office of National Statistics the average British adult spends around £800 on Christmas gifts with Northern Ireland topping the chart as the biggest spenders with an average of £970 per adult.  Overall, in the UK we spend in excess of 24 billion at Christmas!

The statistics also show that one in every 3 families will buy some sort of cuddly soft toy at Christmas. No wonder we see Teddy Bears of all shapes and sizes in the shops during the run up to Christmas eagerly awaiting their new homes.

We can verify that personalised Christmas teddies are indeed a popular way of sending Christmas greetings and teddies with a child’s name embroidered on the jumper are extremely popular gifts. Our warehouse bears work flat out during this time to get all of these special gifts dispatched.

  • Get Well Soon

If someone is feeling a little under the weather, what can you send them to put a smile back on their face? Flowers are probably the No1 choice for ladies. They are lovely and bring a bit of colour in to someone’s world. However, most hospitals don’t allow them now and sadly they don’t last too long. Grapes are the number one choice of get-well gift for men. Although quite often the visitors eat them without the patient get a look in. For children the top gift is a cuddly soft toy of some sort. Snuggling up with a cuddly always helps little ones to feel better. Of course, we know that many adults love to receive a cuddly gift when they are unwell. Our data shows that a personalised get-well teddy is up there in our top searches on the site. Have a look at our cute range of Get Well teddies here, there is even a little Nurse Teddy for those that want to be looked after. 

Google date shows that over 200 people search for a Get Well Teddy Bear every month.

  • Friends Need Bears

We love the saying ‘Friends are the Family we choose’. Our friends are important and are there for when we need them. Sometimes it is nice to let them know that we appreciate them with a small gift.

With a personalised embroidered jumper on a teddy, you can say whatever you want. Here are some of the popular messages we have embroidered for friend teddy bears:

Best friends

Best Friends Forever (BFF)

A friend is like a 4-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have

True friends are never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart.

So, there you have it. A quick analysis of the reasons people buy a personalised teddy bear in 2021.  Needless to say there are many more reasons that we haven’t mentioned such as Graduation, Bridesmaid and Pageboy thank you, Wedding and Anniversary celebrations, the list is endless and the personalised teddy can be adapted for each and every special occasion.
