1st Birthday Bear - Perfect First Birthday Gift IdeaTheir very own 1st birthday bear is a great keepsake from their 1st birthday, they may not remember the 1st birthday party but kids love to know that one of their bears has been with them for a while. This first birthday bear will need to be special, we are not just talking a normal bear it has to be one that will be able to stand a lot of love and photos at the birthday party! If you want your bear to be one that is looked at and not played with then a very special keepsake is a canvas bear that you have everyone from the party sign. Make sure the pen is permanent and has a small point otherwise the ink may run and you will have no idea who is who. You can also have investment type bears, not so long ago that would have been one of those Ty bears but they seem to be less popular - probably because there were so many of them! A good investment bear that has stood the test of time is Steiff - their antique bears can cost thousands, of course they are still being manufactured so maybe you could pick up the next big investment! Another perfect birthday bear is one that you have made yourself, you can buy patterns and the fur material at most fabric stores. Our son has had his very special bear since the day he was born, Mr Ted was knitted by his Nana and has been everywhere. He recently lost his eye and now wears a very smart patch plus he is a lot flatter than he was, it must be all the cuddles he gets every night.
