Adding some zip to your relationship!

Hi Teddy Bear Fans!

One of the challenges we all face is keeping our relationships interesting. One of the most essential part of relationships is being appreciated. Expressions of appreciation cement relationships. Think for a moment…when was the last time that you expressed your appreciation to one you love?

Expressions of appreciation are to our lovers, our children, our sisters, our brothers, our parents, our grandparents, our friends. Do an appreciation gesture today!

Hugs,

Origins of Teddy Bears

Did you know Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, is the person responsible for giving the teddy bear his name? On November 14, 1902, Roosevelt was helping settle a border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. During his spare time he attended a bear hunt in Mississippi. During the hunt, Roosevelt came upon a wounded young bear and ordered the mercy killing of the animal. The Washington Post ran a editorial cartoon created by the political cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman that illustrated the event. The cartoon was called “Drawing the Line in Mississippi” and depicted both state line dispute and the bear hunt. At first Berryman drew the bear as a fierce animal, the bear had just killed a hunting dog. Later, Berryman redrew the bear to make it a cuddly cub. The cartoon and the story it told became popular and within a year, the cartoon bear became a toy for children called the teddy bear.

This gift represents much of the American ideology today and is a gift for all ages. For more info, please visit www.mypictureteddybear.com

The World of Gift Cards

Years ago, gifts consisted of sentimental and memorable value. But as we have transitioned into a uniform, technologically-dominated world, gift cards have revolutionized how we gift.  In fact, the wallet-sized, prepaid piece of plastic has been the most popular present in the United States for the past five years.  Therefore, it is ever more important to regain our personal touch.

My Picture Teddy Bear is an affordable product that offers personalized and unique gifts for all age groups and demographics. Our teddy bears offer buyers the opportunity to regain our personal touch and old values.

SPREAD SOME GOOD MEMORIES

During the first months of 2010, the news is fillled with the problems of the world. So many people are struggling with homes in foreclosure and difficulties finding jobs. Others are new graduates, discouraged and unclear where to start their job hunt. Not to mention that we have lots and lots of oil in the ocean polluting our waters.

It is essential that we do not get overwhelmed by the negative news of the day. Is there someone in your life that makes you smile? I hope so. If not, you need to spend time meeting new people and expanding your social support network. If you do, take a picture with them the next time you are together and select Tennyson or Tully and send a permanent memory of that day.

Hug a Memory and add a good memory to your day!

SURVIVING DIFFICULT TIMES

It is difficult to turn on the television or read a newspaper without receiving troubling news. During these difficult times, it is important to maintain perspective. How does one maintain perspective? One of the most important ways to maintain perspective is to spend time with loved ones. It is also important to relive memories of fun times. My Picture Teddy Bear was designed to create huggable teddy memories for our customers. So ….hug a memory and keep your perspective in life.

Comfort in Difficult Times

Each day we are bombarded with scary news.  As a matter of fact, listening to the news has a negative effect on your mood.  The past months have been filled with childhood violence, sad stories of people losing their homes, uncertain economic times, and high unemployment.  It is a challenge to maintain a positive perspective.

This is where the comfort of hugging a teddy bear never goes out of style.  Each hug brings us back to caring memories.  Each teddy bear hug anchors us in the reality of the warmth of simple moments.  I encourage each of you to dust off your teddy bear, put it next to your favorite chair, and keep it handly for that much needed hug.

We hug each of our bears before we send them with special hugs to you!

Best wishes…..from Dr. Teddy Bear………the clinical psychologist in picture teddy bear land!

CAPTURING THE GROWING YEARS

Families are the center of our lives.  We thrive on fun family memories.  Families change so quickly with the passage of time.  Children are so different at different ages.  The years from baby to toddler to teenager to adult fly by with the special wings of time.

It is important to cement those special years in our memories.  The photographs that capture the “growing up years” are to be treasured for years.  Tennyson and Tully enjoy being the special huggble teddy bear that will proudly display the special picture you select of loving family moments!

Best Wishes!

Dr. Picture Teddy Bear
