Holiday Build-A-Bear Giveaway

October 31st, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Santa’s elves are chattering (and tweeting) about the new holiday gift ideas from Build-A-Bear Workshop.®  And the folks at Build-A-Bear report  that the hottest gift requests can be fulfilled with one-stop shopping at any of the more than 400 Build-A-Bear Workshop stores around the world or online.

This season, some stores will feature a special Build-A-Giftstation offering pre-stuffed animals and a selection of clothing and accessory options all in one place for easy access (both options are available beginning in mid-November).  Finally, holiday online shopping is easy and fun at buildabear.com (which has a whole new look set to launch on Nov. 3).  Beginning in early November, shoppers can go through the Amazing Gift-O-Matic “gift generator” process that helps them identify the perfect gift based on an individual’s character traits.  And, there’s always the “one click shopping” option that lets you choose a fully attired furry friend, click on it and you’re set to go. 

Naturally, the elves follow the trends, but never leave tradition behind.  In the classic gifts category, best bets to ensure holiday happiness include  Frosty the Snowman.  And Frosty is joined by Holly and Hal Moose,™ the antlered sibling duo introduced last year along with their story book, “Holly and Hal Moose™: Our Uplifting Christmas Adventure,” and a series of webisodes.  This year, families can start a new holiday tradition by watching Holly and Hal in a one-hour animated television special based on the book, (details on the show which I wrote about here.)

Families can relive the excitement of the movie by making their own Holly and Hal stuffed animal friends and dressing them in new signature outfits and accessories from their debut TV appearance.  But one lucky Lipstick to Crayons reader can win the duo by entering the contest below.

    Who wouldn’t want Holly & Hal. They are just to cute for words. I actually bought Hal last year for my newborn nephew. He was a Christmas baby and only 2 days old when I gave him Hal. Hal was wearing Christmas PJ’s and holding a Happy Birthday Cupcake. Can’t wait until my nephew is old enough to really enjoy him. Now I would love to have them Holly & Hal for myself and my son. They would be such a cute addition to our build-a-bear family.
