Farley the frog is a graduate is green spotted plush. He is wearing a black satin mortar board hat with a tassel. He plays “Pomp and Circumstance” when you press his tummy. He is holding a rolled diploma.
Grace Table Bear recites one of two lovely table grace prayers when you hold her paws in your hands. Requires 2AA Batteries Included.
Come Lord Jesus is recited when right paw is pressed:
Come Lord Jesus
Be our guest,
And let these gifts
To us be blessed.
Amen
God is Great is recited when left paw is pressed:
God is great, God is good,
And we thank Him for our food.
By His hand we are all fed,
Give us this day our daily bread.
Amen
This darling little bear recites the entire Lord’s prayer while you are holding her paws. If you let go of the bear’s paw while it is reciting it stops. It also works through multiple people. I had a customer tell me about a group of 15 people that prayed with the bear all holding paws and hands together.
It is covered in soft brown fur with tan foot pads, nose and ears. He is wearing a brown bow around his neck, but here is the best part. Hold his paws in your hands and his bear will recite the Lord’s Prayer in a small child’s voice. If baby falls asleep or wants to stop the prayer, all they need to do is let go and the prayer will stop. The batteries are replaceable by opening the Velcro closure in the stuffed bear’s back. There is also an on/off switch in case you want to turn it off. Even more, the bear’s right foot is embroidered with “OUR FATHER” and the left foot is embroidered with “WHO ART IN HEAVEN”. The version of the prayer that the bear recites is as follows:
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen

In my grandma’s day, things weren’t easy. In fact, she lived during the Great Depression so things were about as tough as they get. Kids had an especially hard time during the depression. Compared to them, most of us have everything we could ever hope for. In her time, people had birthday parties for the whole neighborhood and they shared one birthday cake among four or five families. People from that time have a really different perspective of the world. Toys were rare because they were expensive (well, anything that couldn’t be made for free was expensive). So, most children’s toys were made by hand. Wood tops were popular because it wasn’t hard or costly to find a chunk of wood and shape it so it could spin, even if it was a little wobbly. Teddy bears were especially rare because they required fabric and stuffing to make. Both materials would need to be purchased. Also, the teddy bear was only created in 1902, just under thirty years before the beginning of the Great Depression so they were not especially common, yet.
Despite this, girls and boys alike dreamed of having their very own teddy bear, a friend to play with. So, how does an eager child wrangle themselves the teddy bear of their dreams? Well, today we might try “mom, can I pleeeeeeeeeeeeease have a teddy bear” or “gimme that teddy bear” or maybe “What chores can I do to earn that teddy bear!” Mom, can then go check out lots of cool teddy bears at a local store or online. However, if my grandma said something like that I don’t think her (very stern looking) parents would have been very happy. So, she decided to do something a little different. Every time her mother made clothes my grandma would ask if she could save the scraps of fabric that were left over. She saved them and saved them and she sewed them all together. Eventually, she had enough fabric to make a teddy bear just like the one she saw at the store every day when she walked home from school. The trick came when she needed to fill up her empty teddy bear. She thought about a teddy bear filled with leaves, but the leaves would rot. She thought about filling the teddy bear with water, but it would just leak out. In the end she decided to fill her teddy bear with…sand. It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t soft, like teddy bears today, but she loved it anyway.
Women of all ages love teddy bears and they like to receive gifts from their loved ones. Teddy bears are known for their love, comfort and companionship and they make women happy. Women admire teddy bears as much as they admire flowers. Flowers are nice, but they eventually wilt and then be long forgotten, but a teddy bear will last forever. If you send a teddy bear as a gift to a woman; she will jump with joy when she sees it. You can gift it to your girl friend, mother, sister, wife, daughter or friend. There are few tips you can use to make your gift the most special.
Consider the Age of the woman
You need to get the stuffed teddy for someone special and must keep the age of that woman in mind. If the gift is for a child or young daughter; you can choose any cute, funny, magical or colorful teddy bear. However, if you want to present it to older woman, like your girlfriend or wife, you might want to select a larger teddy bear. So, depending upon the age of the woman, you need to consider the suitable stuffed teddy to make her feel special and adorable. If the child is very small, make sure you pick an animal that is not too big for the child. Manufacturer tags usually state the minimum recommended age of their plush animal.
Choose right teddy bear for right occasion
Keep in mind the occasion and purpose of the teddy bear gift. They are available for every occasion such as Mother’s Day, birthday gifts, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day gifts, get well, wedding gifts, and just about anything else you can think up. Depending upon these occasions, you can customize teddy bear as a gift to the woman. This is the best way to tell her that what place she holds in your life. You can order a custom t-shirt, personalized ribbon, or even a custom bandanna with your message embroidered or heat transferred on.
Make sure that the teddy bear gift is accompanied by a card or poem which says few lines about your wishes and greetings to her. Some websites, like FreeBears.com offers a free personalized gift card to go with your gift.
Her Preferences
If the woman is very close to you; you will have a good idea of her likes, dislikes, and passions. This will help you a lot in choosing the right kind of stuffed bear for her. You can also choose a teddy bear depending upon her profession, such as Doctor or lawyer. If she has a lot of teddy bears, select a teddy bear that she does not have in her collection. This will make your teddy bear a unique and outstanding gift. If she loves dancing a lot, you can gift her teddy bear in ballet dress, which will make her smile.
The most important thing, which you need to keep in mind, is that the presentation of teddy bear must be impressive which will be accountable for a perfect gift. You must wrap the teddy bear in a nice and appealing paper or presentation box or gift bag that will complete your gift. You do not need to make the presentation expensive in order to grab her attention.
When she opens your gift, you can view the sparkle in her eyes and her reaction after receiving this invaluable gift from you. She is going to remember this gift for the years to come.
