My Thoughts
While I love all the Build-A-Bear Workshop gift ideas listed above, my son and I decided on the cuddly camo bear to celebrate Armed Forces Day. Both my father and grandfather proudly served our country in Desert Storm and WW II respectively. My older son plans to follow in their footsteps and someday join the air force.  The Camo bear is the perfect way for kids to honor the brave men and women who have fought so valiantly for our freedoms. Show that you're proud to be an American with one of these adorable bears.

The bear is cute on its own, but when you add the accessories, it's even more fun. You can get fatigues, combat boots, and even dog tags. Maybe you could honor a special solider by naming your bear after him or her. If kids have a father servicing overseas, perhaps this little bear could make them feel closer to dad this Father's Day. And I'm sure dad would love to see pictures of their kids with their military bear, even if they can't be there in person. There are so many ways to make the Build-A-Bear Workshop more than just another stop at the mall. There are always opportunities to create cherished memories.

I'd love to get the Camo bear and the Army Uniform 3 pc. My granddad was in WWII and he loved all of the guys he served with. He was my best friend and his death anniversary is the same day my son was born so this would be super neat!

I would love to have the new Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon2! My son loves this movie and would be thrilled to have him. His sisters have had their own Build A Bears, but he never has, so this is perfect!
