Mary T's Attic: Gift Ideas

What to Consider
This section gives hints and ideas for buying gifts for loved ones, most specifically for mothers, wives, and girlfriends who collect Cherished Teddies! The Cherished Teddies lists have now been updated with pictures to make selecting the right Cherished Teddies easier and faster!

Collectors differ concerning what they like to collect and how picky they are regarding the condition of Cherished Teddies (definitely an issue in the secondary market). Questions you need to answer before buying Cherished Teddies over the net include the following:

Does the person ...

prefer unwrapped pieces?
prefer non-displayed pieces?
care about having the original packing?
care about the condition of the box?
care whether the piece has papers?
care about getting a specific year? On the secondary market earlier years, especially first editions, tend to be more valuable.

You may be able to get a list of wanted Cherished Teddies. If you want to surprise your loved one, I have listed some Cherished Teddies by category that you might want to look at. Most of the teddies that are highlighted are available at my web site. I also have Cherished Teddies that I haven't added to my web site yet, so ask if you are interested in one that I do not have listed!
