Benny Bear Photo Album and Stories
Benny Bear is a special Ben Bridge Holiday Tradition.
He was born out of a brainstorm from some of our associates who wanted to add to the excitement of gift giving. With a secret zippered pouch in his tummy, and a beautiful piece of jewelry hidden inside, it is a fun, memorable and sometimes suspenseful way to give a gift that will be treasured forever.
You will notice that Benny has a different look every year, however, he is always smiling!!
Benny Bear Stories

“I bought a diamond bracelet for my wife, and the associate put it in a Benny Bear. She is really nosy and almost always figures out what I have gotten for her gift. Not this year—I know she shook that box when I wasn’t looking and had no idea that there were diamonds hiding inside.” |
| “My husband bought me a pair of beautiful diamond earrings for our anniversary. He put one in each of the bear’s ear lobes. When he gave me the bear, I thought it was cute, but was a little disappointed. I left the bear on the fireplace mantel. Finally, after dinner, I saw something sparkle from across the room…That’s when I finally saw the diamonds in Benny’s ears.” |

“For my girlfriend’s birthday, I gave her a bear with a sapphire ring inside. She opened the gift while I was at work. I came home and asked where the bear was. She had given it to the dog, without realizing there was anything inside. Luckily, we got it away from the dog in time.” |
| When a terminally ill customer set her affairs in order, she replaced each piece of jewelry in its original Benny Bear’s pouch and gave them to her children. |

“Every year at Christmas time, I unpack my collection of Benny Bears. My husband has been very generous over the 36 years of marriage. He faithfully shops at Ben Bridge for all my gifts.”
|
| “My boyfriend had my diamond earrings wrapped inside Benny Bear’s tummy last year as a surprise, so I brought him out last month and gave him a sign that said “PLEASE FEED THE BEAR!” |
|
|
“I give my wife a Benny Bear every year. One year I knew she was expecting it, so I filled the pouch with chocolate kisses, and wrapped the earrings in an unassuming box.” |
| “One of my customers collected Bennys like so many customers do. However, this customer’s Benny Bears would write letters to me telling me about their new lives in the home of my customer. They were delightful to read and they showed how precious these Bears were to my customer. I would get a letter every year after the holidays without fail from our most recent edition Bear. I never realized how smart these Bears are!!! |

“Husband bought me a gold bracelet and put it inside a Benny Bear. Then hid it in our daughter’s toy chest among the all the other bears. What a surprise when I found it” |
| "I have almost every Benny Bear, except for the first one. I saw one on ebay once and it sold for over $400!!!"
