Visit your local craft store, paper art supply store or scrapbooking store to create custom teddy bear invitations. Scrapbooking stores have a huge array of patterned paper sheets, as well as teeny embellishments, just the right size for a bear. They also have idea books that you can use for inspiration. Some stores offer an open studio time where visitors can access all of the fancy cutting tool, hole punchers, rubber stamps and other items for a flat rate. Staffing at these stores is often comprised of scrapbook enthusiasts who enjoy sharing the craft with others, and can help you with your project.

As a mom, I’ve only performed a few but the kids create a lot of puppet shows, it’s good for their imagination. Then there’s also the adorable 
, I don’t know about you but my kids cherish the cards just as much as the gift sometimes and even my oldest has a little stash of her favorite cards from over the years. This one would definitely make it into the stash, popups are so cool and this one is HUGE. Finally, the 
is absolutely genius. I’m thinking for teens or even adults. My oldest daughter is 15 and likes to listen to music when she falls asleep, I’m always wondering if it’s dangerous to sleep with ear buds in, she could strangle herself or maybe not hear the smoke alarm. With this iPod speaker pillow, she could listen to music when she falls asleep and not endanger herself or scare me. If I had one, I’d probably listen to guided meditations or books on mp3.
