Okay, I would just like to start with this is not just for kids. I am a grown adult and I truly love how soft and heavy this polar bear is. It is just too adorable and it is well-made. I was looking at my blood pressure one day when I was just rubbing my hand over the soft material and I could see that my blood pressure was going down. Creating a very common effect. With the weight in the bear, it feels like you're giving or getting a hug and that is very special. It almost feels like a new best friend. And even in sad times and good times, they have a very calming effect. I do feel that it is well made and really worth it. I would make an amazing gift for anyone in your life.
