Butterscotch Teddy

Beautiful Teddy Bear - second one Ive bought for the newborns in our family.
This particular bear was not available when I ordered and unfortunately didn't arrive when expected, however the communication from the company was good and when the Teddy did arrive about a month later than expected they sent a little gift as compensation - which was nice.

Beautiful old-fashioned looking teddy bear. My grandson absolutely loves him. I have just purchased another one for my next grandchild arriving soon.

We love him. Just a beautiful gift for a baby. Lovely size to fit in his hand. We have purchased the large one for all grandchildren. We pop our family tartan as scarf with their name and date of birth on it. Becoming our family tradition. Beautiful bears.
