Boyds Bears: Plush Bears, Figurines, Collectibles, Home Decor And Special Occasions

Published: October 26, 2007

There are many people, not just kids, who are fond of plush bears and other cute, little things. For some, these are often given as gifts. There are those, though, that make plush bears collectibles. Since a house needs a new look every now and then, sprucing up the home by strategically placing plush bears as home decor will definitely make a difference, giving a room a warm, fun, whimsical feel. Boyds Bears will surely help a homeowner achieve this.

Founded by Gary Lowenthal and his wife, Justina Unger, Boyds Bears LTD actually started out because of a bear they made for Matthew, their son. After that, the couple started producing and selling plush bears, which later earned the name "Boyds Bears" because of the fact they were manufactured in Boyds, Maryland. They first began making plush bears and rabbits, which became a success. Later on, they manufactured other plush animals and bears made with resin.

The Boyds Collection not only consists of plush bears and resin products, but they also include figurines, collectibles, home decor and even seasonal decors for special occasions. One of the options among the lovely Boyds Bear figurines is the "Boyds Haulin A Nights Work Halloween" figurine. This works well as a decorative piece on bare tables or spaces around the home when Halloween rolls around. The "Boyds GI Bruin Stand For Freedom" figurine, on the other hand, shows support for the army. The bear is depicted as a soldier standing on a rock with an inscription, hunched over and carrying a load on his back. One could also purchase the "Boyds Bearstone Nanny & Tristan Bed Time Stories Collectible Teddy Bear" musical waterglobe, which has a switch that makes the globe light up and Brahms' "Lullaby" tune to play. Having this by the bedside table will surely make bedtime memorable. Collectibles such as these Boyds Bear have limited stocks. Thus, not everyone who wants to purchase one will be able to do so.

There are also Boyds Bears specifically designed to match a season. For Thanksgiving, there is the Autumntyme and Harvestbeary collection, and even a turkey decor named "Turk E. Stuttengobbler.” There are Halloween-themed Boyds Bears dressed up as ghosts or witches. There are also Boyds Bears just right for Christmas, as well as great gift options come Valentine's Day. The M&Ms Collection and Coca-Cola Collection, featuring Coke Polar bears, are also popular. Indeed, there are Boyds Bears for every season and special occasion.

The Boyds Collection can be purchased through independent collectible and gift stores for special occasions. For those who want to order online, they can do so by ordering Boyds Bears via authorized dealers. This is because the manufacturers of Boyds Bears do not distribute Boyds Bears directly, in order to show continued support for independent retailers.
