\nThe \u201eChoose Me\u201f wall at every Build-A-Bear store is where the empowerment journey
\nbegins as each guest chooses an unstuffed animal to bring to life. Accessories give customers
\nthe reins to customize their creation. The heart ceremony is where one can add special wishes
\nto their friend. During the stuffing process, a heart is placed in the bear along with special
\nwishes, and the guests promises to care for their new furry friend. This signature ceremony
\nbrings each stuffed animal to life in a personal way, further ensuring a greater attachment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
