The Build a Bear Workshop is an establishment which can bring a smile to even the sternest of people and the hardest of hearts as it really screams out care and attention to its customers. This place is brilliant for children as it brings the customer into the completion of the product and this kind of personal touch is something which children really do buy into and enjoy. This place has so much variety it is astounding and it allows people to provide a really special gift either for themselves or someone close to their heart. The cynics among you will call this place soppy but there is nothing wrong with a bit of emotiveness every now and again and more businesses could pick up on that. The staff here are excellent and they reflect the caring nature of the company as a whole and once more this is a lesson that more businesses could do with learning.

Build a Bear is one of the best presents you could possibly buy for a young child or even a girlfriend. Although you should probably buy a voucher and allow the person receiving the gift to build the bear, I have so far been unable to resist the temptation to just go through the process myself and present them with the finished product! As far as cost goes, you can tailor your purchase to your own budget as there are many different options to choose from.

Back when I was a nipper, children’s birthday parties usually involved musical chairs, pass the parcel, sandwiches, crisps, jelly and ice-cream at someone’s house. These days, children’s parties are much more sophisticated affairs that usually involve parents paying for a room at a local café, restaurant, cinema or bowling alley with designated party staff, games and food. For the parents that prefer their children’s parties to be fun and educational, Build-A-Bear Workshop run birthday parties where kids are encouraged to make, customize and dress their own bears and learn lessons about friendship and loyalty along the way. Of course, these skills come with a price-tag of £8-£20 per child but that’s modern life for you!

Build-a-bear workshop is the perfect haven for young children so Parents beware that child! So, here is a shop where you can tailor make your own bear hence the name. For children, this is so much fun as they can actually see it all happening in the store’s unique build-a-bear machine! Even I found it fascinating when first glancing at it.
Only thing was that there was a huge queue making it a long wait which can be frustrating for kids. The prices are neither cheap nor overly expensive. You won’t find any shop like this as its one-of-a– kind. It’s got a practical element to the build process which will grab a child’s interest. A young person owning their personal bear would be the envy to their friends! Entering this shop made me feel young and put a smile on my face, not surprisingly to every customer!
