Teddy Bear Gifts—How To Decide What to Pick!

Little kids are pretty easy to decide on when it comes to teddy bear gifts. However, when it comes to girls and guys that are a little bit older, you need to take a little bit more into consideration. So the question is—what exactly should you look for and what type of kid wants what type of teddy bear?

Scene Guys or Gals/Emo Kids

These children will want dark and bright teddy bears at the same time. Black is very common, but neon or very bright colors or even dark red and green are also favorites. Most of the time, these kids will be more than excited about receiving teddy bear gifts, despite how excited they seem when you give them this gift. Try and stick to a no-names bear, unless you want to name it for them or let them pick a random name. Don't put their name on it. More often than not, they won't like having their name up there. A few interesting teddy bear names are: Teddy, Bubbles, Draco, or any other unusual name that you can come up with.

Jocks and Preps

The peppier side of the spectrum will prefer lighter, springier colors for girls and neutrals for boys. You can put their name on the teddy bear gifts—it won't bug them as much as it would a kid that's emo or scene. Try and stick to their favorite colors as well—or any sports teams or anything like that that they're interested in. If they plan on going into the military, then try a military bear of some sort.

Intellectual Kids

Teens that are more intellectual will probably enjoy teddy bear gifts that reflect an area of study that they're really, really fond of or a future career that they might enjoy. It's a great way to remind them that you believe in them and that they'll go far.

Kids Who Don't Really Fall Into Any of These Categories

For those kids, do what you can in order to get a bear that's pretty much plain, but their favorite color or their favorite pattern—whichever makes more sense. Take your time to think about them as a person before you create their bear. They're actually some of the harder kids to buy teddy bear gifts for.

Lastly, have fun while creating these special teddy bear gifts. Let's face it—most of the time, you don't really think about how special that a gift might be. However, when you take the time to buy or create something just with them in mind, it makes it ten times more special and makes them ten times more receptive towards the idea.

If it comes down to it, ask them to pick out what they want instead. It'll make it a lot easier to figure out what kind of teddy bear gifts to buy. You can even disguise it—for example, you could ask "If you could make the ultimate teddy bear…"
