There's nothing quite like the special treatment a child can expect when buying a stuffed animal from Build-A-Bear Workshop. Choose from among 30 different animals, including bears, dogs and bunnies, and a friendly staffer will help your child give it a heart, a name and fill it with stuffing. Next comes a bath (make-believe water, of course), and then it's time to select from a huge variety of outfits and accessories. You can choose from Star Wars characters, professional sports team uniforms, beach clothes and more. Kids can also play with their actual Build-A-Bear in an online community.
