So imagine her delight when she was sent this High School Musical bear:
Can you see the shock and excitement on her face?! The bear is just too adorable for words. Very cuddly and soooo stylish:
Check out the sweatsuit/hoodie complete the Wildcats logo. Pictures can't show you how cuddly this bear is too. Very huggable!
Back view of the hoodie with the "East High Wildcats" logo.
Take a close look around the bear's neck. Yes, it's an actual High School Musical dog tag necklace!
The backside of the dog tag necklace has the cast of the show.
Even the paws are adorable! She can even go online with the code on the bear's birth certificate and play with her bear in BuildABearVille. Click here to see a Flickr gallery filled with tons of High School Musical bear photos.
My family and I were recently in New York and Natalie begged and pleaded to go to the Build-A-Bear store there (which is the biggest Build-A-Bear workshop in the world!) to make a Statue of Liberty bear but we ran out of time. I almost cried with her. But we promised her it will be one of the first places we go when we go back to NY.

Thank you so much for this giveaway. My son has been begging me for a Build a Bear ever since one of his friends got one. I'd have to say since he loves baseball and the NY yankees, that the NY Yankees Bear would be our pick.
Thank you so much.

Well, I was going to say my favorite would be the HS Musical Teddy for my little girl who is a huge fan. Then I saw the Amethyst Teddy, which would be her birthstone color, and I thought that would be it. But now I think the U.S. Patriotic Bear would be my choice for my little patriot. She loves anything related to the red, white, and blue.
I am so surprised at how many choices they offer. I really like lots of them, but I would choose the Magnificent Monkey!
I like the 2-piece Pirate PJs for my son's bear!
Wow, there are so many new things since the last time I went there. I need the Hearts Fur You Puppy.. it's soooo cute!

I thought about this and thought about this... but the one thing that catches my eye at buld-a-bear is the way my son looks at these bears :) I know you said go to the website and pick something out that catches your eye, but really, that would be up to my son.
He just glows everytime he walks into that place and one day I'm going to take him in and actually be able to afford to buy one of those darn bears, lol. Let's hope it is before he gets too old and doesn't want a bear anymore, LOL.
We love all the accessories you can get for your bears - It takes my girls forever to pick out outfits and matching accesories.
We love the College uniform (OU) and it would be perfect for my boys! Thanks,

I love the Baby Boy fur You Curly Teddy, I have never been to a build a bear workshop since my youngest 2 kids at home are 12 and 16, but have heard so many wonderful remarks. I'm in need for a unique gift for my new grandson, this would be ideal as my son and daughter in law could choose what they wanted at build a bear. My son is 27 and still has his very first stuffed animal he got on the day he was born, a winnie the pooh.
So my grandson could someday be giving his own child his very first stuffed animal.
Thank you for all the time, effort and energy you provide putting these contests together so we can win so awesome and unique prizes.

I like the bride and groom bear set. They're really cute.
Since I'm the grandmother of two little girls, I'm only acquainted with Build A Bear products through them. I loved the website, and what was very appealing to me was that not only bears are available to be made, but cats, turtles, alligators and more! Love the clothes too!
I like the new Hello Kitty line.

My son has been begging me for one of these for a while now. I guess what catches my eye the most about Build A Bear is the number of options it has. It really is almost like a creative outlet for your child. The can dream up almost whatever they want and expree it in their own fashion.

My daughter has made one build a bear and she loved it so much.
Great write-up, Bill. I still think about the food we had there during a dinner Javier had set up. They are super nice and creative. I actually asked them about their fave "carne en su jugo" dish in that area and forgot what they had suggested. I'm still looking fwd to your CESJ recommendations.
