Spec me a Teddy Bear!

Afternoon all,

Have a feeling this one may not have been done before, but I'm in some serious recommendation of where you can buy a decent Teddy in London....?

Any suggestions appreciated

How predictable...

On a more serious note - Harrods is teddy heaven - expensive though

I believe I saw a gold plated one in a box for about £200'000 :eek:

Mmmyeah - may be slight overkill for my needs! Presume they have tonnes of others that aren't quite so house-priced?

Stieff make good collectible bears at a reasonable price and they tend to appreciate in value

**** me! I don't know a whole lot about teddy bears (obviously), but isn't upwards of £80 quite a lot for one?

I like the slightly alternative stuffed teddies, like this koi carp:

Cuddly fish for the win!

Takes a real man to be able to buy a Teddy bear dude - you got some issues you need to vent?

They are more collectibles than toys but I know too much about it for my own good

Build-A-Bear workshop, numerous around London, can make it yourself ;-)

Sounds like i'll be spending a few hours in Hamleys/Harrods then trying to work out wtf makes a good teddy bear :confused:

Building my own bear would probably end in some disastrous mutation of a bear that i think is hilarious, but the gf would think looks like an inbred quasimodo with elephantitis :eek:
