We don’t do much for Valentine’s day as parents, but I do love to give my kids a small gift. It may be a small stuffed animal or a candy heart, but they always get some reminder that it is Valentine’s Day and that we love them. Build-A-Bear is making it easy this year! Check out these adorable new Stuffed With Love possibilities:



I would like to introduce you to Love Bear and Love Bug. Love Bug comes in a boy or girl version. We received the Love Bear in the mail and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited Joley was to see her. I can’t say I blame her though because Love Bear is absolutely adorable! Our Love Bear came with a headband for herself and a matching one for Joley!
You can purchase a Love Bear or Love Bug from Build-A-Bear in stores or online. Prices range from $16 to $39, depending on what you purchase.
Win a $25 Build-A-Bear gift card!
Build-A-Bear has kindly offered to give one of you a $25 gift certificate to make your own Love Bear or Love Bug for that special someone in your life. This would make an adorable Valentine’s Day gift for a child or adult!
Here is how to enter:
- For your first required comment, visit Build-A-Bear, then let me know whether you would like the Love Bear or Love Bug and who the recipient of the gift would be if you won.
