When you get to Step 3 just press on continue shopping until you have all the My Birthday Teddies you need. Once you have finished shopping, select Proceed to Payment.
Please Note: Each bear is packaged in its own special box, so we cannot combine more than one bear into a single box.
If you are wanting to order a number of teddy bears with different delivery options, or to be delivered to different delivery addresses, you will need to complete a separate order for each of the bears.
9. Can I come and pick up my My Birthday Teddy™?
Sorry, we don’t have the facilities to hold My Birthday Teddies for pickup.
10. How do I wash my My Birthday Teddy™?
We know Teddy Bears can get dirty with everyday use and may need a clean from time to time. As your My Birthday Teddy bear is hand-sewn, they cannot be put into the washing machine or put to tumble dry, as this risks damaging your My Birthday Teddy. Instead, we recommend hand-washing your My Birthday Teddy in warm water and leaving it to drip dry.
