Unique Child Gift Ideas

Teddy bear gifts are great gifts for young children and for adults who enjoy collecting teddy bears. Children find hugging teddy bears very reassuring and some like to sleep with them in their bed. If buying a teddy bear for a young child, make sure that it is suitable for that age group.

Check that it doesn't have parts that a small child could choke on. Teddy bears are a great idea for a birthday gift or Christmas gift . Children get attached to teddies very quickly.

'Teddy' bears were named after Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt after a hunting trip in 1902 where he refused to shoot a tethered bear cub. Teddy bears were manufactured throughout the US from 1903 onwards and were incredibly popular in the States and in Europe. Antique and collectors' markets in London are good places to find original teddy bears from that era. People who collect teddy bears are known as 'arctophiles'.

Teddy bears can be bought in different shapes, sizes, colours and styles and some have costumes. For instance, those interested in collecting teddy bears may like a period-style teddy bear. A teddy bear dressed as a chimney sweep with a sweep in its paw makes an interesting gift for instance. Teddy bears wearing a graduation outfit with the teacher's hat and holding a scroll can be bought as a graduation gift. Handmade, customized teddy bears make a lovely personalized gift to mark a special occasion. Classic teddy bears with handmade costumes can be fun. You could have a handmade teddy bear wearing clothes in a similar style to the recipient as a fun, unusual gift .

Sometimes people like to give teddy bears to their loved ones as a romantic gift . Cute teddies with messages on the front in a heart shape can be bought to give to a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. Teddies with a Get Well Soon message are a particularly good idea for sick children. Children find soft toys comforting.

One unusual teddy bear gift is a teddy bear with a pre-recorded message inside. When you squeeze the teddy bear or soft toy, the message is played back. Another idea would be to record the sound of your family dog barking. Teddy bear gift baskets made of wood are another unusual gift idea . These consist of a carved wooden basket with a hinged wooden handle in the shape of a teddy bear. An alternative to a teddy bear would be to get some other stuffed toy such as a soft toy moose, or a soft toy gopher.
