PLANO, Texas, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cookies by
Design, the original cookie bouquet company, has partnered with
Build-A-Bear Workshop to launch huggable, lovable special occasion
cookie gift baskets featuring teddy bears with Valentine's Day, Birthday, Get Well and New Baby
themes.
The baskets are filled with delicious handmade, hand-decorated
cookies that are completely customizable with messages or photos,
along with adorably outfitted bears for each occasion. For
example, Valentine's Bear (available year-round for that special
someone) sports an "I Love You" shirt and is surrounded by cookie
hearts, while Get Well Bear is dressed in scrubs and accompanied by
an entire cookie medical staff.
"We wanted to offer premium custom gifts that are even more
delightful and personalized, and Build-A-Bear brings a high-quality
cuddly, keepsake element to our designs," said Cookies by Design
CEO and President Jack Long. "We
think this partnership provides a delicious new way to brighten
someone's day and make any occasion more special and
memorable."
The Build-A-Bear Cookie Baskets are available in two sizes with
a choice of six or eight cookies. Each basket is made to order and
can be hand-delivered the same day or within one or two days,
depending on the level of customization. Last-minute gift givers
can also take advantage of ready-made Build-A-Bear Cookie Baskets
available at all Cookies by Design store locations with
nationwide delivery.
"For the last 20 years, Build-A-Bear Workshop Guests have been
making memories and sharing special moments with us in our stores,"
said Sharon Price John, president
& CEO, Build-A-Bear Workshop. "Now, thanks to our partnership
with Cookies by Design, gift givers can share their heart or mark a
fun occasion with delicious cookies and the hug of a Build-A-Bear
furry friend – delivered right to a loved one."
