build a bear workshop

halleybird · Hermes

my sister works at build-a-bear! I *think* she said the cheapest bear is $20, but don't quote me on that.

mikacat · Coach

there are a bunch of coupons out on the internet for $5 off build a bear and i know in the happy meals at mcdonalds you get $5 off build a bear coupons and a miniature bear with clothes.

one of my vendors gave me 4 of them today.

No info on price, but YIKES! that sounds kind of scary! Have fun!!!

Kelly · Hermes

I think you can make one for about $25, but you won't be able to give him clothes or anything (I think that the clothes just make them ugly, anyway)

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

hmm I think its a little closer to $30 once you put on the clothes but you may be able to keep it closer to $25. Are you not doing a b-day party there? I think they are included when you book a party. Back home we have their competitors - Wacky Bear (the name doesn't begin to describe the company...) and they do parties but not sure how much per head.

i've made bears there with kids twice. once it was $60 and the other time $45. both times we "dressed" the bear.

if you can occupy the kid with "bathing" the bear and "naming" the bear and steer them clear of the clothing and accessories section- you can get out for under $30!

Cricket · Gucci

Thanks for the info! I'm not doing a "party", just taking my girls in. My in-laws got them the whole outfit, plus "limited edition" bears, so I might hear some stink if we don't get the outfits, but I'm not spending $60 each. Especially if my husband is going. No way in hell he would. My oldest daughter took the clothes off hers the day she brought it home and hasn't put the outfit on since. Funny thing... she got a purple pegasus instead of a traditional bear. She dressed it in a black faux leather mini, white tee w/ sequins, pink boots and pink PANTIES! It was hilarious. My sister and I called it "Prostitute Pegasus". That's what she chose, though.

They don't have the coupon in the happy meals here but the little bears are so cute. I want to get all the little bunny ones and the black and tan bears. They are so cute
