OUR COLLECTORS FEEDBACK


The comments on this page have been taken directly from personal e-mails that we have received and from our  Public Eye feedback page - we hope that this will help you to feel more confident when placing an order with us via the internet. 

We would like to extend a big 'thank you' to all our Customers who have taken the time to write these e-mails on the receipt of their Teddy Bears.  It would be impossible to print all that we receive so here are just a few taken from each month.

 

FRECKLE arrived today safe and sound! He is so very soft and cute - I just LOVE him! I liked him on the Website a lot, but "in the fur" he is even more sweet and lovely. He is really created for hugs - and he definitely will get lots of love, hugs and honey in his new home!!! Thank you so much, Lynette!

Best wishes and Beary hugs,

I am "Kathy" of the "Kathy and her Baby." I received the beautiful set at my baby shower two weeks ago. I can't tell you how special these new members of my collection are to me. My father started my collection of special bears over 30 years ago. I think that these bears immediately became my favorite! They are truly amazing and made with such care. As I start my new journey preparing to be a Mother, it is lovely to have such a special set of bears to remind me that I will always be "Daddy's little girl." I can't express fully in words what these bears mean to me. Just know that they will always hold a dear place with me and will be one of the first things to be handed down to my child. Until then, they will hold a special place of honor in the new baby's room for all to see. It will give me a chance to see them every time I put my baby to sleep and will be there to remind us of the touching story of a father looking for the perfect gift for his daughter's baby shower. Thank you so much.

MY TRUFFLE HAS ARRIVED!!!! MANY MANY THANKS........ HE IS ABSOLUTELY   W O N D E R F U L..........
I am so pleased.  I cant wait to show him off, and he has already been introduced to my hug.

He is a bright start to the week and I really can't thank you enough...........................

My Dear Lynette, You have outdone yourself (in my opinion).
Kathy and her "cub" arrived safe and sound
about 15 mins ago. Although a bit chilled
from their long travel to the States.
They are so much more than I anticipated,
and are that much nicer "in the fur".
Thank you so much for the special love
you seem to leave inside the bears you adopt out.
I am sure my daughter will be "bowled over"
when she receives them at her baby shower...................

My Dear Lynette, My daughter's Birthstone Bear arrived today. Thank you, thank you......it is more than I expected. You have a great gift for your bear making. I can't wait 'till I receive her next bear(s) for her baby shower. Even 'though her birthday isn't until March 18th, I can't wait to give it to her. Thank you again.....P.S. Our little spot in New Jersey is that much warmer for the lovely bear.

Hamlet has arrived safely today.
I've just let him out of his travel box and he is absolutely wonderful!
He was very tired after the journey and he has already went to bed with his hibernation leaves so it seems as if he feels comfortable here
Thanks a lot and many Bear- and hedgehog-hugs...............

ANNA - Just had to drop you a line to say how wonderful I think 'Anna' is. She
arrived safely this morning, beautifully packaged, and my husband bought
her round to my place of work at dinner time so I could see her straight
away, and also so that Lesley could have a look at her.

We were both stunned by how pretty she is, and what a lovely delicate
colour the mohair is. She looks beautiful in her dress and hat!..............

Junglee arrived at my work all safe and sound. He was well
packaged, and there were no tears on the box.
The secretary signed for him, and he talked to her. This
sort of surprised her. Anyway, I immediately opened the box, and he is
adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very well constructed, and the fur is lovely. Boy, that bow
sure makes him pop. I have great taste in bows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to let you know he arrived around 11.30am my time
which is 7.30 pm your time.
Thank you for Junglee, and I am looking forward to my other
two creations................

My Ben has already got up to mischief, I took him to see a friend and he hid so I forgot to bring him home. He will follow me in a few days when my friend comes to visit me.

 ...........I received MoMo and he is just as I imagined. He is very cute in fact when I went to the post office to get him my two nieces were with me. We went to my house to open the package and they couldn't get over how adorable he was....and I completely agree.

The christening was great fun and Rosalind loved having so many people
paying attention to her.
The three godparents adored their bears and now have pride of place in each
of their homes, Phillip even rearranged his furniture so that little Philip
could observe him at his embroidery!
Thank you so much for getting them done in time. Rosalind really appreciated
it - she was so keen to give something to her Godparents in appreciation........................

JEAN - I've just collected the teddy from the post office and just had to let
you know she is delightful! I can't wait to pass her on to her new
owner-mum will be so pleased.
Congratulations on your adoption certificate and lovely packaging and
thank-you once again for your prompt, friendly attention.

Picked up Momo bear from the post office at 7:00 this morning.
I don't really know what to say but he's wonderful.
I had to wake my brother up straight away and take it round to them.
I was going to give it to them on the day the baby was born but I couldn't
leave him locked away for another 6 weeks.
Steve and Kerry both loved him.
today he is going to be our lucky mascot and watch the game with us.
thanks for all your hard work on him he is perfect..............................
13th  May  2006 (UK)

 

Just to let you know fairy dust arrived safe and well this morning.

Just wanted to say that Jem-Jem and baby Jewel arrived safely on Friday. I am delighted with them, they are just gorgeous. I have a real weakness for Pandas and these two are just perfect......................

Nicholas (and chair!) arrived today.
He is marvellous and so cute! We're very pleased we adopted him. Once again we would like to thank you. It's always a pleasure adopting LJ bears.
9th  December  2005 (Belgium)

She's wonderful!!! I'm so glad you asked to recreate her for other ladies.
She is much better than her pictures & they were good. She looks like she
could be up to all kinds of mischief since at her age no one can say a
thing. The cards in the purse were a nice touch & I guess she doesn't use
them just for solitaire. A little gin rummy with a special fellow perhaps.
You'll have to let me know how many you end of making & maybe we can form a
club............................

30th   June  2005 (UK)

 

Toastie is gorgeous beautifully made and so so soft.
Being musical adds to the delight of this teddy bear.
He has made his acquaintance with Elvis and there are now sharing the same room.
Always enjoy the parcels which come from L J Bears and the added in bonus they seem to bypass customs which is great. ............................

Madelaine arrived a couple days ago. Sorry I didn't get back to you
sooner. I'm just getting back to my e-mail. She is charming, dainty, and
so petite. Just a darling. What a cheerful gift to help me recover from
the operation..........................................
30th  March 2005 (USA)

Bing arrived safe and sound, as always i am very pleased with
him. .................................
10th December  2004 (UK)

 

Just a quick note to say Heidi arrived safe and sound this morning, and of course shes absolutely beautiful! She's even more adorable and cuddly than she appeared in her picture.
Her picture did not do her justice in any way shape or form! I particularly liked the fact that she can be separated from her musical base, which I was not sure of from her description.

Many many thanks she will be appreciated.
9th December  2004 (UK)

 

It was with great excitement that I received my parcel from L J Bears this
morning -and I wasn't disappointed :)
Fern is absolutely beautiful ,her pictures were great but do not do justice
to how lovely she is and how superbly she has been made...............................
5th November  2004 (UK)

 

I now have 3 of your darling bears living with me at the moment. I must say
that they are the most delightful teddies I have seen in a long while, the
photos of the bears are enticing enough but when they arrive they are truly
beautiful.
My daughters just love them and take extremely good care of them, I'm sure
they will not want to part with them when they have children of their own!!!
Thank you very much indeed.

24th October  2004 (UK)
 
 
The three teddies arrived today and they are really lovely.
Mr. Independence is absolutely identical to his photograph the colour is so true.  I have added a few of the coloured stars you sent in the box to his hat which just adds the finishing touch to a very beautifully made teddy bear.  I am really thrilled to bits with him. The coordination of ribbon hat and flags and his fur are really something. You did say that I would love him and I do. The other two ladies look like they have had some fun travelling with him and are really cute. Wonderful presentation and beautifully made Lynette. They have settled in nicely after their very long journey
28th September  2004 (New Zealand)

 
I just wanted to send you and email and tell you how delighted I am with
Mystical!
He is with out a doubt the most handsome bear I have ever seen.
Even more stunning in the fur than in his pictures.
Thank you so much, he is just as I imagined he would be, glitter and all :)
He looks as if he is always listening and he's got a very deep kind of look
that just makes you want to talk to him.......................
Thanks again!

Sundae arrived yesterday 26/08/04 and we were so happy to see her.  My
family and I have fallen in love with her straight away. So I think she'll be
happy in her new hug. She has already been showered in hugs and kisses. She is so
beautifully made you guys are amazing. I can not believe anyone would ever want
to return one of your bears they are just brilliant. So a huge thank you for your
time and patience in helping me become the new adoptive parent of Sundae.
      I am sure I will adopt again just have to get the kitty fat.
      Thanks a mill from a very happy girl in Australia

Finally got Mrs Titchmarsh on Wednesday....................
Anyway my colleagues and I were captivated by her - I shall leave her
exactly as she is.  I think she is exquisite and Mr Titchmarsh seems to be
besotted, Lady Charlotte not quite so welcoming!
She makes a perfect pair with Mr Titchmarsh - they looked like a couple from
the minute I put them together.   They're sitting on the shelf having a rest
and getting acquainted.  Maybe Lady Charlotte does approve of staff sitting
in her presence! ...............................
Thanks again for all your hard work - you are certainly a talented pair.
