Our collection of WhatzUpWithThat® Bearwear continues to grow. If you haven’t yet visited the site, we encourage you to check it out to see how you can add even more life and personality to your next Embroider Buddy® creation. Some of my favourite pieces are the ones that turn a buddy into a working buddy! Coming this fall are four new sets of Bearwear that celebrate occupations: hospital scrubs for a doctor or nurse buddy, an engineer hat and scarf, a firefighter hat and a chef hat and scarf.

Bearwear fits most of our Embroider Buddy® stuffed animals, and as an added bonus many of the Bearwear accessories are embroiderable and can be used for print applications, giving you another option for personalization.

There’s no shortage of ways to gift these working buddies. We love all these ideas:

Know a special doctor or nurse who’s had an impact on your health or the health of a family member? Honour them with an Embroider Buddy® dressed in scrubs. They can display it in their office to bring a smile to patients’ faces.

Who’s the chef in the family? Remind them how much you love their good cooking by adding chef Bearwear to one of our buddies. May we suggest “Kiss The Cook” as the personalized sentiment?

For a budding train conductor or a child who’s crazy about trains, turn your next Embroider Buddy® creation into a train engineer, complete with hat and scarf.

Is there a firefighting hero in your life? Or do you know a child who wants to grow up to be that hero? Encourage his or her honourable dreams with a buddy for life. A firefighter buddy would sure look nice sitting proudly at the fire hall.

Do you know a graduate who's about to start their new job in one of these fields of work? Celebrate them with a special personalized buddy to wish them well for the future.

What do you think of these workin’ buddies? Tell us what other occupations you’d love to see as part of the collection.
