Gund Bear Types

Career and Lifestyle Bears

• In 2009, GUND introduced a series of 11-inch bears to inspire career aspirations at an early age. The Career and Lifestyle Bears feature embroidered noses and sport outfits that reflect various jobs and hobbies. The vocations include coaches, teachers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, police officers, handymen, hairstylists, bikers, homemakers, golfers, life guards, cowgirls, gardeners and business men.

Everywhere Bear

• The Everywhere Bears were intended to give children a travel companion during trips or vacations. The bear comes in light and dark brown varieties and a removable denim jacket. Everywhere Bear comes with three postcards, 60 paw print stickers and 18 travel stickers. A map of the United States and a play passport is included in the bear packaging.

Snuffles Bear

• Snuffles is an iconic, cuddly stuffed bear originally designed in 1980 by Rita Raiffe. By 2010, more than 150 different varieties of Snuffles had been made. The bear is short with a round belly, and has an upward-looking, smiling face. The Snuffles line comes in a range of sizes and colors, including white and caramel.

My First Teddy

• GUNDbaby is a division of the GUND company that specializes in stuffed toys specifically designed for babies. For example, the baby-soft My First Teddy line of bears are made of hypoallergenic materials, are securely sewn to avoid tearing, and have embroidered eyes that are not possible choking hazards. The bears are also surface washable in case they are victimized by the messy mishaps that tend to happen with babies and young children. The line includes a range of different sizes of teddy bears that come in pink or blue.

Holiday Bears

• The GUND company makes holiday-specific bears that can be purchased year-round. The featured holidays include Hanukkah, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, and the broader seasonal category of Autumn. The Autumn line includes a range of fall and Thanksgiving-themed items.
