Picking the Perfect Teddy Bear For a Special Girl

It can be difficult and stressful to find just the right present for the women in your life. There are so many different options that it is almost overwhelming; you can waste a lot of time and energy just searching for the right present. If you’re tired of trying to think of a good gift, why not consider a real classic – the teddy bear or other plush animal? Plush toys can be a great gift in and of themselves, or a great addition to other gifts. They make great presents for someone that you know well, or someone that you have only recently met. You can personalize them in a variety of ways if you know someone’s tastes well, or you could stick to a more neutral plush animal. Another advantage of stuffed animals is that they are appreciated by people of all ages. A teddy bear, or other plush toy, is a gift that will definitely please and rarely go wrong.

Choosing the Right Stuffed Animal for Different Age Groups

There are a few simple rules for choosing the perfect plush animal for any age group. Let’s start with the youngest group, girls between the ages of 2 and 12. For girls in this range, try something bright and colorful. Magical animals like unicorns or a Pegasus are sure winners for this age group. Maybe they really want a pet, like a dog or a cat, but their parents don’t think that it is a good idea. Perhaps there isn’t enough room in their house or apartment or the parents just don’t think that she’s ready for the responsibility of owning a pet. A plush dog or cat can be an excellent substitute! If your gift recipient is a teenager, then choose something with personal meaning or that is representative of their personality. A stuffed lion or tiger can represent strength or courage. Such a gift would be an excellent choice for graduation or to celebrate an award or milestone. If the person that you are shopping for is 20 years old or older, then consider the classic teddy bear. The classic bear can be used as a decorative item for house or office. If you want the gift to be used as a piece of décor, then you should choose something that looks natural, in neutral or realistic colors. Decorative plush toys don’t have to be bears, but the more natural they look, the better they fit into their environment. Bears are doubly good gifts for adult women, because you can combine them with other gifts and have them hold some chocolate candy or some flowers. The teddy bear can even carry a card in its paws!

Choosing the Right Stuffed Animal for Different Occasions

It’s important to match the occasion to the gift when you are picking out your stuffed animal. It’s a nice touch to choose a plush toy that is appropriate to the current season. If you are getting a gift for a girl for Independence Day, then a stuffed eagle would be a great choice. If you are getting a gift for one of the winter holidays, consider a polar bear or a reindeer. The teddy bear is the universal gift for all seasons. If the occasion is too general, like a birthday in August, then you may choose to link the gift to the interests of the recipient. For instance, if she is a cat fancier or dog devotee, then a plush cat or dog may be the best idea. If she loves to travel and explore new places, then an exotic jungle animal like a plush tiger or friendly elephant may be a great gift. She’ll notice that you personalized the gift to her interests and appreciate that you understand her. You could go the extra mile and have her initials stitched on the teddy bear as a monogram. Anything you can do to make your present more personal is sure to add to its intrinsic value.

Choosing the Right Stuffed Animal for Different Personality Types

To make the best impression with your gift, you should take the girl’s personality into account. If the woman in your life is a naturalist, then the orange teddy with a purple bow tie may not cut it. Try something more natural looking. A more realistic bear is more appropriate for someone who is interested in animals as they exist in the wild. On the other hand, if she is a lively party-goer, a more colorful bear is a better fit. If she is reserved and demure, a more classical brown or white bear, or a realistic plush cat, would be more tasteful. An athletic girl who likes riding horses may be charmed by a stuffed pony toy. If she has a great sense of humor and is always making jokes, then consider a plush monkey. The key benefit to personalizing your plush animal gift is that women really notice small details, and love that you are paying attention. In conclusion, when selecting a teddy bear, or other plush toy for the women in your life, use their age, the occasion, and their personality as guidelines and you will be sure to pick a great gift!

Why I Marched Alongside Muslim Radicals in Support of the People of Gaza

The tragedy in Gaza is not a sectarian religious issue and must not be allowed to become one. It is an issue of injustice and human suffering, and this is relevant to all peoples, and should be especially significant to Christians.

I attended a march and a rally calling for justice for Gaza. When I agreed to go, I hadn’t realized that it was being organized by a radical Muslim group, but that would not have put me off even if I had known.

Indeed, if radical Muslims were organizing it, this was all the more reason for me to be there and help establish a Christian presence. For the tragedy in Gaza is not a sectarian religious issue and must not be allowed to become one. It is an issue of injustice and human suffering, and this is relevant to all peoples, and should be especially significant to Christians. So I donned my black shirt and clerical collar and hung the largest crucifix I have around my neck, and Ange and I and young Joanna (who runs our Youth Group) set off to the city to join the rally.

The tragedy in Gaza is not a sectarian religious issue and must not be allowed to become one. It is an issue of injustice and human suffering, and this is relevant to all peoples, and should be especially significant to Christians.

I know Hillaly vaguely. We’ve met on a few occasions and even spoke on the same platform once, so I hoped he’d recognize me. Indeed he did. When the Sheikh saw me coming, he reached out and pulled me towards him. He gave me the traditional three-fold kiss and then dragged me up on to the stage with him. I then stood alongside the Sheikh for ten minutes while he spoke in Arabic. I remained rather stoic in my stance, not wanting to join in the cheering when I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I was sure that if Hillaly wanted me alongside him, it must have been because he too wanted to present the tragedy of Gaza as being more than just an Islamic issue.

When the Sheikh wound up, the organizer asked me if I wanted to say a few words. I heartily agreed. Here are my exact words (composed while the Sheikh gave his speech alongside me):

Sisters and brothers, Salaman Aleykum (ie. Peace be with you).

This tragedy in Gaza is not a struggle between Christian and Muslim. It is not a struggle between Muslim and Jew. It is a struggle between humanity and inhumanity, between justice and injustice, between truth and the lie.

And so we take our stand with the truth, with justice and with humanity, as our prayers go up for our oppressed sisters and brothers in Gaza. Ensallah (ie. Amen).

My speech was short, but I made my point, and I was thankful for every cheer from the assembled throng.

The guy who followed me to the microphone, I found out later, was the radical guy who organized it. He began by saying, “We Muslims cannot tolerate the existence of the State of Israel”. At that point I excused myself to the Sheikh and walked off the stage – a gesture that did not go unnoticed by the crowd.

Even so, as I walked back through the crowd towards my wife and friend, scores of people reached out to shake my hand. One huge Arabic man grabbed me and said, “it means a lot to us that you are here. Thank you!”

After that a couple of Muslim parents asked me if I would have my photo taken alongside their kids. I pulled Ange in to the last photo with me, and then it was my turn to say, “thank you”.

Did the rally achieve much? I don’t know. But I have no doubt at all that I was exactly where God wanted me to be that day, and I thank God for the opportunity to, once again, be a visible sign to the Islamic community that we Christians are not unconcerned about the plight of their fellow Muslims.

Let me say this as clearly as possible: the current crisis in the Middle East, despite all its horror, is a great opportunity for all of us who follow the Lord Jesus to break down prejudicial barriers, by pitching in alongside our Islamic sisters and brothers and so sewing seeds of brotherly and sisterly love while working together for justice.

Let me urge you, my sisters and brothers in Christ, and my sisters and brothers in all the human family, to join the next pro-Gaza rally you hear about. If it’s organized by radical extremists, all the better! Let your presence be felt, and let the world know that concern for the suffering of the people of Gaza is not the property of any one religion but is a burden laid upon the heart of all humanity, and a tragedy about which all human beings should be equally concerned.
