Valentine’s Day teddy bears
I always wondered why ‘cuddly’ little teddy bears tend to be packaged with Valentine’s Day bouquets and hampers? I mean why has it to be bears and hardly any other animals being selected? I love horses very much and I really love to see cute little plush horses or ponies packaged with the flowers instead. Of course other plush animals are also welcomed to suit the preferences of other recipients. Occasionally I have seen cute little plush puppies, kittens, lambs, piglets and even calves paired up with these romantic gifts. However such variety is extremely hard to come by.
I am surprised that florists and gift shops still stick to their ancient beliefs and assume that bears are the only animals that look great with the flowers. Bears are carnivorous animals and they are not monogamous at all, hence they are not the best symbols of romance. Their primary role is to look cute and appealing to their largely female recipients. Hence rightfully, any cute little animal plush should fit the Valentine role as well. Hopefully by the next Valentine’s Day in 2009, there will be a greater variety of animal plush toys packaged with the usual traditional Valentine Day’s gifts like the flowers, hampers, chocolates etc. This century-old teddy bear recipe had already become outdated decades ago!
