We took supply of a new consignment of teddy bears this week.  It’s always fun getting in new stock, but somehow cuddly toys are the most fun of all.

 

Because the manufacturers have slightly changed the design and appearance of the bears, we had a photo shoot of the new stock.  Well, it was a good excuse, because that’s actually where a lot of the fun comes in – positioning all the cuddly toys ready to have their pictures taken, finding their best angles and deciding on the most appealing shots.

 

The reason we do this is that we run A Friend in Need, a website sending gifts to people in hospital on behalf of friends and family who can’t visit the patient in person.  And among our most popular gifts are cuddly toys, and the most popular cuddly toy of all – perhaps not surprisingly – is the teddy bear, the perennial lucky mascot

 

Let’s hope visitors to the website will appreciate our photographic skills – and perhaps sense the fun we had taking the pictures!
