I took my 6 year old for her bday bear. I ended up spending way more with all the add ons. lol
I know how that goes lol
I love build a bear workshop my favorite place ever
what ever age your child is the price but they don’t mention that the clothes is expensive
Ahh, yes. This offer excludes outfits and accessories. But the bear itself is pretty cheap compared to how much it is regularly 🙂
So true about the clothes!! I got my son his birthday bear in November for turning 1 and then went online to the BAB website to buy whatever sale or clearance clothes I thought was cute. The tops were roughly $3.50 each. I also got a few other BAB stuffed animals during their Veterans Day sale when select stuffed animals were $11.11 each and paired the cost with the coupons they emailed me for being a rewards member.
I only plan to get him a birthday bear each year until 5 years of age but shopping their clearance or sale clothes online is the best way to go!
For anyone who does birthday photo shoots or smash cake sessions… I went to a local maternity resale store and got 2 outfits (in size newborn or 0 to 3 mths) for the BAB Birthday bear, that matched the color scheme of my son’s 1 year old photo shoot. The bear matched my son and was the perfect prop in the photos!
this is a nice deal
I’ve known about this for forever! I always forget though.
You and me both! And I have 7 grandkids…all under the age of 7….so it would def come in handy! After reading this I put it in my phone calendar on their birthday in the notes section. That should help my 52 year old brain to remember!
wow didn’t know this, will definitely have to take my grandson 😀
Yay! Have fun!
