Dollar Teddy Bear Lets You Snuggle Money

Vivre calls Johnny Swing's Dollar teddy bear "cuddly consolation for a bear market." The bear is sewn entirely out of genuine U.S. dollar bills. No eyes, no mouth, just old dollar bills (although having the bear's feet made of matching George Washington faces is a nice touch). The bear is 12" tall and sells for a whopping $1,250 (far more than what is sewn on his body).

Filed under: Decor

Need something to do with grandma's old fur? If the fur is too old-fashioned or you just feel guilty wearing it around town you could always convert it into a teddy bear. The Bella Bear Company turns old mink stoles and vintage fox or sheared beaver coats into snuggly soft teddy bears. The bears have moveable joints and hand-sculpted faces. They charge from $99 to $199 for a bear made with your fur or you can buy a bear like the chocolate mink shown here for $275.
