Carte Blanche Me To You "I Love You This Much" Red Heart T-Shirt 9" Bear

My friend and I used to have a bit of an addiction to 'Me To You' bears. I don't know what it is about them but they're just gorgeous and perfect as a gift. The brand started with only one 'mascot' named Tatty Teddy and since then the range has grown to hold various other animals and collections.

What I like about 'Me to You' is that the bears all mean something. They all have messages on their t-shirts or are holding items such as a rose or a dummy (valentines or new baby) so they relate to occasions and mean something. I have got quite a few from the range such as an '18th' bear, grandaughter and many others which are lined up around the top of my wardrobe as a keepsake.

The bears cost depending on the size. The small bears are roughly £5.99, the medium bears are £9.99 and the larger ones are £14.99/£19.99. You can get huge bears which are roughly the size of an 8 year old which cost about £100 but you'd be silly to pay that much for a teddy! Me To You are sold in most card shops but mainly Clintons. You can also purchase them online and from some gift shops.

One of my favourites I treasure the most is the 'I love you this much' teddy. I got it from my grandparents a couple of years ago so I'd always have them with me even though they aren't living close by. The teddy is on the 'Me To You' blue card stand which you aren't suppose to remove (as it looses value). The bear has a red t-shirt on which says 'I love you this much' and the teddies little arms are stretched out to gesture the amount of love which I thought was adorable.

The teddy has the signature grey fuzzy fur, blue nose and stitched on paws - one of which says 'Me To You'. I quite like that the bears stand out as being by the brand on the shelf. You don't have to question it and their signature teddy is seriously cute! You can buy the bears in a few different sizes and my favourite has to be the medium size (which is the most common) which is about 5/6inches in height (including the stand).

I really recommend giving a Me To You teddy as a gift. The bear will be well treasured and appreciated for a long time to come. I still remember who brought my bears and why - my favourite being an '18' bear holding a key with imitation party popper string on him, its adorable!
