Unwrapping the Endearing Story Behind Teddy Bears

Culturally, teddy bears have always been more than just toys. They represent sweet sentiments shared as a tangible expression of love and care. The history of the teddy bear origin is as sweet and heartwarming as the stuffed animals themselves, dating back to 1902. As the story goes, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a bear hunting trip in Mississippi and refused to shoot a bear that his staff had stunned and tied up. President Roosevelt's refusal to kill the bear became a nationally publicized story, so much so a political cartoonist named Clifford Berryman poked fun at the President's tenderheartedness. This gave Morris Michtom, a creative New York candy shop owner, the idea for a new product aptly named “Teddy’s Bear”. From there, teddy bear symbolism was that of affection, kindness, and comfort.

In the 1930s, teddy bears gained further popularity becoming a staple in nurseries across the United States. Then in World War II, they became a figure of hope, and innovations in new materials allowed the manufacturer to create more diverse designs. By the 1970s, the teddy bear symbolism took them from companion to collector’s item, with limited edition and special bears being held as coveted mementos. From collectible plush toys to the famously sought after Beanie Babies, the 1980s-2000s witnessed an explosion of growth in the market. Unique, themed bears and teddy bears created in collaboration with artists became exceptionally popular. A used limited edition Princess Diana Beanie Baby can currently be found on eBay listed at $507,000.

As in the past, the shift cultural shift towards wellness is reflected in the teddy bear and now in 2024, there’s a new wave of cuddly plushies.

Adorable hippo!

This baby hippo is the best cuddle buddy! When I have cramps or stomach aches, I plop him on my stomach and it feels so good. The little pink feet and the roll of fat on his neck are adorable details. So cute!

Very calming

It's summer here, so I haven't warmed this mask yet. Instead, I've been keeping it in the freezer as a cooling mask. It's great for headaches or afternoon naps. I look forward to warming it in the winter too!
