Dotted Doe Clarice®
It’s that wonderful, magical, beautiful time of year again: The Christmas Season. The time of year when I have trouble concentrating on anything but cookies, decorations, gift buying, homemade candy, Christmas music, and Christmas shows.
My all-time favorite Christmas shows are:
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- It’s a Wonderful Life
- Miracle on 34th Street
Yes. In that order. Rudolph, Clarice, the Misfit Toys, the Abominable Snowman, Santa, the elves… they’ve been close friends of mine for more years than I care to count and they fill me with as much joy now as they did the first time I met them. Maybe more because each year we’ve picked up more precious memories together along the way. The first time I watched Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with my parents, the first time I watched it with my husband, the first time we watched it with each of our 3 daughters… Indeed, they do fill me with more joy now more than ever.
I was browsing the web this morning looking for Christmas gifts and gift ideas. I made the mistake of logging onto Build-A-Bear Workshop®
. I say mistake because I collect dolls, bears, and various other stuffed animals. The last thing I needed was to find gifts for myself.
But lo and behold, as soon as I landed on the website, guess what was waiting for me. Yep.. Rudolph, Clarice, Abominable, and even something I’ve wanted for two forevers: The Misfit Toys. I’ve ALWAYS wondered why I could never find the Misfit Doll, the Spotted Elephant, or Charlie-in-the-Box. They always seemed like such logical collectible items but I’ve never seen them. Until today.
Not only does the Build A Bear Workshop have an unbelievable collection of these beloved characters, they also have a countless number of accessories and other goodies – all kinds of stocking stuffers as well. And if you know anything about Build A Bear, you know that they’re incapable of making anything less than excellent. Couldn’t do it if they tried.
I’ve put the different Rudolph-Themed gifts in this post – I know you’ll fall in love with them just like I have. What excellent Christmas gifts! – Even if they are for yourself! Shhh, I won’t tell on you if you don’t tell on me.
