As Valentine’s Week progresses, February 10 marks the fourth day of the celebration, dedicated to the beloved “Teddy Day.” A day for expressing affection and warmth, Teddy Day is all about gifting cute and cuddly teddy bears to loved ones, creating lasting memories and strengthening bonds.
The origin of Teddy Day
The origins of Teddy Day trace back to an inspiring moment in American history. In 1902, U.S. President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt went on a hunting trip where he famously refused to shoot a defenseless bear. His act of kindness sparked the creation of the first teddy bear by a toy shop, which named it after Roosevelt himself. Since then, teddy bears have become universal symbols of love, care, and affection.
Teddy Day was later incorporated into Valentine’s Week, adding a special touch of warmth to the celebration of love. The tradition continues to spread globally, with teddy bears being gifted not only for romantic affection but also for friendship and emotional connection.
Why Teddy Day is special
Teddy bears are more than just cuddly toys; they represent unconditional love, warmth, and security—qualities that make them the perfect gift on this special day. Unlike chocolates or flowers that fade, teddy bears remain a lasting reminder of affection, cherished for years to come. On Teddy Day, gifting a teddy bear is a way of expressing love in its purest form—without words, but with tenderness.
