I have that bear! I bought him during the last Semi-Annual Sale at my local store, they had two left. They said his name was Cinnamon (they'd named him that LOL) and they told me to take good care of him. They must have had him around for a long time, but he was clean and scent-free...they said he'd spent most of his time up high on a shelf. He is huge!!! He fills up my rec room recliner just like a person would! So make room for him. I have a picture of myself with him, and his head is bigger than mine!!!
By the way...I'm 28 and I don't live alone, but we're all adults.

The shearling one is called Gingerbread. I have three of those (not the huge one though). I have a few stuffed animals too, eventhough I am 29 and I like Hello Kitty too.
I don't have that bear, nor am I really interested in it. But I have a few stuffed animals of my own. They sit on shelves for decor purposes. I'm 23, so I guess I'm still allowed to get nostalgic for girly things at times.
Fryl, do you have a Build-A-Bear Workshop in your area? The latest stuffed animal they've added to their lineup is Hello Kitty. I saw a girl @ the mall today carrying around a Hello Kitty plush in a green fairy outfit from BABW.
i'm 28 too and have the small bear. unfortunately i bought it at full price back around christmas time. i wish i would have waited cause i saw several on the 75% off tower the other day. i work with a lady named Kitty...how funny is that? haha she has all kinds of Hello Kitty stuff. She is my mom's age.
there is nothing wrong with us having stuffed animals, nomatter how old we are. that should be one of the perks of being a chick. i mean we should get away with SOME things for all the crap we have to put up with, right? even if it means that the only comforting thing we get to hold is a freaking teddy bear!
Everyone should have a cocker spaniel.

Remember the price error on the BBW website on the bears during the holidays, when they were going for only $9? (for the giant bear) I know someone who bought 4 or 5 of them at that price, she got them for her daughter's room.

During the Jan. sale while I was working at BBW, the giant bears were left over in my store and were marked down to 90% off! I should have gotten one, but didn't. But $15 for that giant bear would have been a spectacular deal!

I got the bear when it was MOS'd too! It sits in my daughters room, and when she goes Niy-Niy (night-night in 15 month old language) we "kiss bear" goodnite~

I always wanted one of the big bears too and I remember they were like $30 last year on the website and I could kick myself for not getting it then.
I went back to BBW and I came to my senses (what little that's left) and didn't buy a duck. My H would seriously suggest an "intervention" if I started bringing plastic ducks home from BBW.
