Ok, time to admit...

 

Who's still buying the annual bears...you know, K-Mart, Wa-Mart, etc.

 

We still do. I have to find a couple to plug some gaps, but we have almost every year since the beginning.

I officially stopped with the 1999 Millennium one, collected over 10 years and got the boy/girl of each so I have three boxes of bears that I put out in our mud room with a tree each year. Had to stop (ok kinda of) got some of the snowden snowmen from Target, love them but if they are not in clearance, don't get them!

I stopped three years ago after realizing just how many stuffed animals I had collected, but before that I would buy one each and every year.

 

Donated most of what I had, and haven't purchased another stuffed animal since. (Except for the Bath and Body Works Bear last year. That was a deal!)

My stepdad's mom still buys those...after Christmas! Which I guess wouldn't be so bad but then she gives them to my kids as Christmas gifts for the next year and they all have the previous year embroidered very clearly on the foot of each bear. :rolleyes:

My sis and I always bought those for my mom. Since we got into college though we kind of stopped and put the money towards more useful items. I was at Kmart about two or three weeks ago and they had the holiday bears out.

We did the buying after Christmas thing, that's why we have a couple missing from the set...they ran out...

Do the beanie ones count? Do you remember the craze there was

about them. I had a friend who was all consumed by finding and

collecting them. She was convinced they were a great investment:giggle:

 

Now they are a dime a dozen at yard sales etc!

 

I do have a few beanies I must admit, the angel bear with white iridescent

wings, Princess Diana bear, the multicolored bear and the Irish bear.

Plus I do have a couple that my DS's got me for gifts when they were

younger.
