Welcome to Jan's Bear Essentials. I hope you enjoy my website. I carry everything I can find that relates to bears. I have current and past Gund Bears and Gund Stuffed Animals, Baby Gund Products, Apple Whimsey Bears, Collectible bears and Artist bears. I am constantly on the look-out for new merchandise, specialty items and old collectible bears. Please check back often to see what new finds have been added.

To celebrate its 110th anniversary, Gund launches its TREASURED TEDDIES MOHAIR COLLECTIBLE SERIES with 6 beautiful bears.  Hand stitched and 5 way jointed. This is the first time Gund has released its collectible line in over 15 years! Each bear is a numbered limited edition made of pure mohair and packaged in suede presentation boxes with certificates of authenticity. The bears are marked with both a leatherette medallion and an enamel ear charm. Bears available in the 2008 Mohair Collectible Line: Gregory, Lawrence, Jonathon, Nigel, Terrence and Cyril.  Limited edition of 500 pieces. Gold Label Series.

PREMIERE GUND BEAR COLLECTION - Every GUND bear is special and this new collection features some of the most exclusive bears in the market. Unique materials, innovative design, detailed facial expressions and of course, huggability, set these bears apart from the rest. An enamel charm with the trademark Gotta Getta Gund on the bear’s ear denotes the uniqueness of this collection.
