Is a personalized teddy bear a stupid Christmas gift for a man in his 30s?
I’m 25 and I’ve been dating this guy who’s in his 30s for about 3-4 months now. It’s Christmastime and I’m at a lose as to what to get him. I thought of cologne, but he’d only wear it w/ me since he doesn’t wear it often. He has enough watches, he’s not too tech-savvy, and I wanted to do something different than DVDs or a sweater. He’s a big guy and I’m kinda short and I affectionately call him my “teddy bear”. So I’m flirting with the idea of getting him a personalized teddy bear from Build-a-Bear and since he’s a Chicago sports fan, have the bear dressed in either White Sox or Chicago Bears garb. I mean, it has sentimental value and a bit of his own personality with the sports stuff. I’m just not sure if a grown-ass man would like something like that or if a teddy bear would be too juvenile a gift.
Feedback or any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I’m afraid it is a possibly stupid Christmas gift. I think many women give men what they themselves would like. I don’t think any self-respecting guy would like a teddy bear, but then I could be wrong. What’s he getting you? Maybe gauge it off of that.
yup it is, but it the thought that counts, maybe get him something else that can be personalized
I don’t think I would get that….I think he would like a candle light dinner with you and maybe buy yourself (for him) a “little” nighty or something like that instead of a teddy bear for a grown man…..You may just lose the guy….
I highly doubt he’ll like a teddy bear, even if it is personalized. That would be really embarrassing for his friends to see it.
I would instead go with a gift that you know he’ll like and use and not be ashamed of. Maybe it can be an embroidered men’s handkerchief that says ‘ teddy’s tissue’ or something like that. Or a framed poster of his favorite sports team – tastefully done.
There’s nothing wrong with a cd, dvd, wallet, clothing, card, etc, when you’re in the beginning of a relationship. You don’t want to come on too strong with an extravagant gift.
Yes.
Edible lingerie you could wear for him would be a great gift for a middle aged guy. the teddy bear seems a little over the top. Something to boost his ego around his mates always works.
Sounds like a great idea to me .My husband would like it he’s a big teddy bear himself and he looks at them with me when we shop.LOL
I think that that’d be a very sweet gift. I bet he’d sleep with it!
