First!! (Giveaway Closed)

GIVEAWAY!!!

Let me start with a quick review!

I absolutely love Build-a-Bear! My kids have at least 30+ at my last count- not to mention I have about 5 myself. (Plus some I want that haven't got yet!) My kids get one every year for Christmas, and usually one for their birthdays. The ones they get to make on their own are usually their favorites. In case you don't know how it works let me enlighten you.

First you pick out the "skin" of your animal that you would like- it looks similar to this but sometimes they change the animals out or have specific "collectors" for a limited time. 



Then you stuff it- this is one of my favorite parts- the kids get to step on a pedal and with the help from a build-a-bear employee they fluff their animal to their liking. They get to pick out a heart and do all sorts of cool things to it to make it a "real" heart for their new friend. 


Then they "bath" their new friend with a brush and a some high powered fans to knock off extra fur. Then the clothes- oh boy the clothes! So many choices- this is what takes the longest for me & my kiddos!





The clothes also change from time to time but the classics stay all year round!

Naming your bear can be difficult- it takes a lot of special thought from you or your little one- but it's well worth it in the end when you receive the birth certificate for your special bear so he or she can go home with you as YOUR new friend (or baby as my daughter says).

I'm there so often I take advantage of the deals they run around holidays where for $5 you can get a $10 gift card. As my first giveaway I will give that out!

You can also use this card online at the build-a-bear website! Check that out HERE! 

To enter the $10 gift card giveaway:

2) Share this post on your Facebook or Twitter (or both) & comment back letting me know you posted!
((PLEASE put an email address so that I can contact you if you win- THANKS))

**Max 3 entries per person (follow, facebook, twitter)
**This review & giveaway was not paid for nor was I asked to do this from build-a-bear. I genuinely just wanted to do something special for reaching 1,000 views. All opinions are mine!
**Contest will END on July 18, 2012 @ 12noon EST (East Coast)
**Random.org will choose the winner & I will post the picture when it has chosen.

THANK YOU!!
