Unique Christmas Experience at Build a Bear Workshop

Located in the capitol city of Ohio is a building called "Easton Town Center". This building is an attractive conglomerate of offices, restaurants, stores, and there are even places for you and your family to play at. One fun place in particular is a business called "Build-A-Bear Workshop®". If you are looking for a unique gift to give this Christmas, then a visit to this workshop is a must!

You can find this "Build-A-Bear Workshop®" in the lower level of the Easton Station, in the
South District. Their address is 3995 Gramercy Street, Columbus, OH 43219. And, their phone number is (614) 473-8888. (The corporate website is www.buildabear.com.)

Now, you are probably wondering what makes the gifts from this business so much fun and so different than the run-of-the-mill gifts you can find on every other store shelf. The answer? You just don't choose a stuffed animal, but you actually make it yourself! There are more than 25 animals, including bears, cats, dogs, snowmen, Sesame Street's Elmo and Cookie Monster, bunny, moose frog, pony, monkey, gator, unicorns, flamingos, and more! You can find the perfect stuffed friend for anyone on your holiday list. The animals in the "Build-A-Bear Workshop®" are a quite affordable too, as they range in price from $10 to $25.

The first thing you do when you go into the Build-A-Bear Workshop®, is to pick out the animal you want. I chose a small brown teddy bear for someone on my list who has a penchant for bears.

Then, you move down the line and give it a heart which is placed inside its chest. Your stuffed friend is then filled by a machine. It's then placed inside a vessel that resembles a bathtub. The animal is then fluffed.

And finally, here comes the most fun part! You need to dress your stuffed animal from a wide assortment of over 250 outfits! There are shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, skirts, NFL uniforms, MLB uniforms, NBA uniforms, pajamas, swimwear, denim and seasonal outfits, and many more outfits available at the "Build-A-Bear Workshop®".
