Valentine Teddy

So the story goes: The 26th president of the United States, the suave Theodore Roosevelt, was in the south due to a border conflict between Mississippi and Louisiana. I’m not sure who won the border dispute although I should! The president, nicknamed Teddy, went on a bear hunting trip in Mississippi during this time. While on the hunt, President Roosevelt and his hunting buddies came across a wounded bear cub. The President ordered the bear be shot and put out of it’s misery. The Washington Post got wind of this a cartoon editorial of an angry, mean bear, drawn by Clifford Berryman. Clifford later redrew the bear as a cute, cuddly bear cut sitting next to Teddy Roosevelt. The story and drawing was so popular, someone decided to make a stuffed toy that resembled the cute bear cub, and the Teddy Bear has been around ever since. That year was 1903 so the Teddy Bear is over 100 years old!!

I don’t know when the Teddy Bear became a classic Valentine’s Day gift idea, but I’m sure it didn’t take long. The Teddy Bear was created to represent the sensitivity of Teddy Roosevelt, so it’s a natural transition for an icon of sensitivity to become a great gift on the holiday of love.
