Christmas season.....

This is the season of giving. As we celebrate the birth of Christ (but how many of us actually know how this day comes about? or really celebrate for this birth? hmmm), where many start to flock to different shopping malls with the thoughts of buying a gift, be it big or small, sending cards to send their wishes to their friends, i've passed by this new shop at Vivocity that i think worth recommending.

This shop is found on level 2 of Vivocity named, Build a bear.

Build a bear? what do we do there? Basically, as the name implies...build a bear. When someone gives you a bear or those bears that you see off the shelves, we've never thought about how this bear comes about and whether we can personalise it. This shop has opened my eyes to building a bear. The raw material is the bear itself. There are many bears of different furs, materials, grades and of cos different animals. Some are the traditionally bears but some are like rabbits etc. You choose your own desired bear, stuffed it with cotton (using a machine of cos) to the desired nice hug factor and start to dress up the bear. Boxers, clothes, spectacles, roller skates, ribbons and many other accessories to dress up the bear.

Process...

Step 1: Choose Me - you choose from the selection of animals

Step 2: Hear Me - you can add sounds with the ready messages or record your own

Step 3: Stuff Me - you add the stuffling and do a special procedure...what's that? see for yourself

Step 4: Stitch Me - off to stitch up the bear

Step 5: Fluff Me - the new toy is given a 'spa' and brush

Step 6: Name Me - you can give a name to your fren and have a birth certificate printed

Step 7: Dress Me - this is the costly part where you can choose your accesories for the bear and each accessories is priced

Step 8: Take Me Home - take your new fren home in a carrying case

and tata! new fren is borned.....





This is the final product of two of my colleagues. On the left cost SGD30+ and right, SGD40+.

They might be a little costly, but it's a special gift, personlised.
