Be Your Own Boss in San Francisco!

Saturday, September 6, we will be attending the Be Your Own Boss Event in San Francisco. Hosted by Ladies Who Launch, this event gives us a chance to meet, greet and share our experiences in a way only Ladies can...

No grey suits and briefcases there, just inspiration and determination. What a great initiative! I started out with nothing but a good idea. I sure didn't know the first thing about sourcing, importing, webdesign, etc. , Let alone marketing!

Now the time has come for me and others like me, to crawl from behind that laptop and learn a thing or two from (other) strong women who have walked that path before us. Ofcourse we will be showcasing our BearHugs, as there is no better way to explain our business than offering the direct experience of a Hug!

So, if you too want to step outside the box and make your dream a reality, grow your business, or just come get connected and inspired, don't hesitate to sign up -it'll be worth it!

The Ladies have graciously offered a discount of 15% if you use the code: YMKE when registering for the event.

BearHugs at Bears, Buddies & Toys!

Our BearHugs have found a place to call 'home'.

Strolling through the Westlake mall in Daly City, I spotted a sign directing me to a new toy store.

As soon as I entered Bears, Buddies & Toys, I felt an invitation into that magical imaginary world, usually reserved only for children. This place has it all: right by the entrance you are greeted by adorable bundles of joy, waiting in the 'nursery' to be 'adopted' (ceremoniously, ofcourse) and loved forever by some lucky kid. Next to them you will discover little, life like cats curled up in an afternoon nap. There is a dress-up spot and a book room, complete with a reading chair on a pedestal. For hosting those perfect parties, the store offers a pirate ship and a throne room and even allows kids to stuff their own bear! And I haven't even started on the variety of merchandise: a perfect mixture of 'olden days' and the latest and greatest, starting at $.99.

Bears, Buddies & Toys' product line now includes our very own BearHugs and we could not be happier!
Whenever you're in the neighborhood, please stop by and visit this store, aside from finding that perfect gift, it's an experience you and your kids will enjoy!
