We get asked a lot of questions about this event and how to help, hopefully these will answer all of your questions! If not, just contact us!
When is it?
Between Thanksgiving and December 23rd. Go in anytime during store hours from Thanksgiving until the 22nd, or join us on our event days; December 20th, 4 to 8p.m. or December 23rd, 8 to 11 a.m.
Where is it?
Build-A-Bear at the Mall At Fairfield Commons (very close to Entrance F).
Do I have to stay the whole time? (for traditional 1 day event)
Nope! Just come purchase and stuff a bear and sign a card and you are set!
What if I have to leave but I haven't stuffed my bear yet?
You can pay for a bear that is not stuffed and sign a card and then leave it there. We have "helper elves" that would love to stuff the bear for you!
Can I donate or make cards?
Yes, you can donate or make non denominational cards to go with each of the bears. We will also have cards to sign at the store.
What if I can't make the event but want to help?
Check out our "2023 Event" page for more information on how to sponsor a bear and other ways to be involved.
Can I donate gift cards or coupons?
Yes! Contact us and we will let you know how!
How much do most of the bears cost?
The bears in store range from $14 to $48. There is also normally a clearance bin and a few different sales such as "buy 2 for $35" or "buy one get one for $10". If you plan on buying the bear online we suggest waiting for flash sale or even Black Friday sales. Below is the link to Build-A-Bear Work Shop's website.
