Keeping your Charlie Bear nice and safe is just as important as the joy you’ll get from it when you first buy it (or open it, if it’s a gift), and it’s good to remember that these plush bears are collector’s items, so if you want to keep them protected, you’ll need to know what to do. Of course, it’s also good to bear in mind that you can just enjoy them without preserving and displaying them – if you bought a Charlie teddy bear to hug and hold, that’s exactly what you should do!
First, you’ll need to think about the environment the bear will be living in. To really preserve them, you’ll want to keep them away from direct sunlight and damp areas; otherwise, they might fade or collect mildew, which is not a pleasant situation. Dust them regularly, too, and use a soft brush to do it, and that will keep their hand embroidered features in pristine condition.
You might also want to invest in some good display options, like a glass cabinet or a sturdy shelf – that will give you a safe place to put your collection (even one plush bear is still the beginning of a potential collection) where you can admire them but also ensure they’re protected as much as possible.
These are useful points you might want to pass on to whoever you’re gifting Charlie Bears to as well, so they can decide if they want to keep their new collectable bears safe. The great thing about these toys is that they do make superb gifts for every occasion, and they’re special enough to be loved and remembered for many years to come; they’re so well-made they might even become a family heirloom.
Although you might think that stuffed toys are just for kids, the great thing is that these particular stuffed toys are for everyone – they’re so well made and well-designed that they can be fun to play with and fun to collect, so everyone is going to love them. That’s what makes them such a great gift. Check out our website to see the full collection, and you’re bound to find at least one signature plush bear that works for you.
