To have just been bought a build a bear

[GhostShip]

Ive wanted one for ages, it's my birthday soon so DP took me shopping and to the Build A Bear Workshop.
I felt like a right kid!
I chose a cream rabbit with floppy ears, took it to the nice lady who stuffed it and told me to chose a heart to put inside but kiss and make a wish first
I was a bit spoilt for choice on the outfits but I chose some frilly socks, some knickers and a fluffy dressing gown.
Then I had to make her a birth certificate on the computer, I christened her Lola bunny.
Am I unreasonable or just plain weird to be so excited over a stuffed toy?!! :o

I would fully recommend these to anyone stuck on gifts at the moment!

Yeah the storm trooper is still there, as is vadar, obi wan, iron man, hulk, tinker ell... The outfits are endless. There's a nurses scrubs one that I want when I complete my midwifery degree ha

Ha - I made DH kiss it too, since he'd only been DH for two days and I thought my bear would be quite a nice keepsake.

Can Hello Kitty wear the Stormtrooper outfit?

I bought DD one for her First Christmas, when she was four months old.
Eleven years on, it's half favourite cuddly, half imaginary friend, and I totally indulge this.
It has more clothes than me and I bought it a £30 doll for Christmas last year.
I don't care what other people think.

Yeah she'll fit into any outfit

It wouldn't float my boat, but I agree with Phoenix I would prefer to be taken for a few pints.

i think it's lovely :)

I did one for my mum for her 60th birthday - he was dressed all spacey because we went to the space centre in loughborough - he had silver trainers and a teeshirt with all the planets on (before pluto was downgraded)

i even kissed the heart for her and got a snore.

YANBU at all, I love build a bear, I have the hello kitty one.

Well it's not for me but I used to love taking the children there. DD1 25 and DD2 22 would still love to have one. I think they've still got the ones they had as children.

I got one years ago DC have now claimed it. I got each of the DC one for their first Christmas they still love them. DD2 recently got the German Shepherd, complete with trainers and rollerskates for her birthday. Thy are already planning their next Build a Bear.

Sometimes I drag my DP in so I can "laugh ironically at the accessories", but in reality I'm actually deciding in my head what I'd pick for my new best friend myself if I were 7 again.

I've got a build a bear cow. It's called Bono because when you squeeze its tummy it Moos in Mysterious Ways

YANBU. The kids want to go to build a bear but I'm saving up so I can get a bear too

how odd

you could have had something really nice and you got a cuddly toy.
how old?

YANBU. I bought one for my best friend a few years ago and she was over the moon. I'm dying for one too.

cokefan :o

iamnotinterested my DP has spent over 300 pounds on me today, the bear was 22. I got lots of nice things, the bear was an added extra to satisfy my childish side.

dds build-a-bear used to get Christmas presents from Father Christmas. I used to love buying it little outfits though they are a bloody rip off sadly dd is in that awkward phase of having temporarily outgrown it.

YANBU.

I have one that DH bought me 10ish years ago BC, has a recording thats says "I love you" and everything!

My goodness no, yu go for it. Why does being an adult have to be boring and do bring things, I have lusted after the new cabbage patch dolls

How old are you?

Can't really think of anything else to say or add....

New cabbage patch dolls you say Piglet

I'm 20.

I don't get to be childish much, looked after myself from being a teen worked from then and lived on my own from being seventeen so indulging in my kiddy side is a rare and nice thing for me!

YANBU

Dt1 would love to go there - she is nearly three though .
