Build-A-Bear are marking the arrival of the new Royal baby boy by giving online shoppers 25% off today.
Customers can bag the one-off savings by using the ROYALBABY discount code at checkout online at www.buildabear.co.uk before 11:59pm today (8 MAY). There are a few bears that are excluded from the offer, which are listed online here.
But the retailer hasn't stopped there.
Build-A-Bear has also announced it is donating thousands of teddy bears to hospitals infirmaries and maternity units across the UK.
The toy retailer will be gifting babies sharing the same birth date of the yet unnamed Royal, with any remaining teddy bears given to babies born in at the hospitals from today while stocks last.
Speaking about the move, Roger Parry, senior managing director for Build-A-Bear Workshop in Europe said: “We love birthdays at Build-A-Bear, and we know the anticipation of a royal baby causes a wave of excitement worldwide. We wanted to share the excitement with parents of new babies all over the UK by giving them special bear hugs to commemorate such a special day.”
Each of the bears will come with their very own commemorative tag and a special birth certificate marking their noble nature and their “birth” alongside their new owners.
There are ten hospitals across the UK listed below set to receive deliveries, which have been chosen for their highly-commended maternity facilities.
- Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary
- Gloucestershire Royal Hospital
- Royal Albert Edward Infirmary
- Royal Bournemouth
- Royal Devon & Exeter
- Royal Hallamshire Hospital
- Royal Lancaster Infirmary
- Royal Surrey Country Hospital
- Royal Victoria Infirmary
- Sunderland Royal Hospital
Build-A-Bear members can also sign up to the retailer's Count Your Candles program that launched last year. In the program parents can take their little one along to their local store during the month of the child's birthday and the child will be able to make Birthday Treat Bear for the price of the age they are turning.
Each birthday bear includes a birthday Heart Ceremony, photo prop, birthday sticker, party hat and more
