No matter what the occasion -- birthdays, graduations, Valentine's Day, or get-well wishes, a Teddy Bear makes a cuddly addition to any greeting card. Loved by young and old, Teddy Bears can bring a smile to anyone's face.

Since its introduction in the early 1900s, the Teddy Bear has been adored by children and adults alike. This infamous Bear was named after US president 'Teddy' Roosevelt, in response to a Bear hunting incident that happened long ago. When the Teddy Bear was first introduced, it became fashionable for women to carry them everywhere. Today, the beloved Teddy Bear is synonymous with comfort and joy. Their gentle faces and soft bodies make it hard to resist the urge to hug them. Emergency personnel even keep them on hand to comfort children in times of crises. Teddy Bear collectors around the world will pay anywhere from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars for unique and unusual Teddy Bears. Some companies have begun to manufacture 'green' Teddy Bears that are made entirely from recycled materials like used clothing and blankets. I have a collection of Teddy Bears made from recycled Burberry; Adidas, and Nike garments. Teddy Bears made from recycled clothing are special because no two are exactly alike.
