Yeah it's within their birth month. Some stores do ask for proof i.e. birth certificate, some don't but you have to sign up on their website in advance. There was a couple to pick from last time I went and you don't get any accessories and that included. Think the bears are normally like £15.99 so a decent saving for an extra gift for them.
At the one near me it's only 1 bear and they don't check for the birthdate
We only had 1 choice of bear. But since it was for my 2 year old, I got her excited about select bear, diverted her attention, & she didn’t have any strong opinions. But I had braced myself for her to possibly be wanting a different one lol. Just during their bday month but they didn’t ask for proof where i went
Paid separate for the clothes
I did it for my daughters 1st birthday in sept and you just have to sign up to their club on the website enter the birthday and you pay the age so ovbs ours was £1 but needs to be within birthday month so we went at the start. Hope this helps x
And anything extra you have to pay for so we brought a T-shirt for it but couldn’t choose the bear we got a brown bear x
So far ive done one each year and its only 1 option the birthday bear and it can be any day within their birth month. Some ask for proof but essentially once you go you have an account and so you just always have to go that specific month
We’ve recently done one for my daughter’s 1st birthday. We only had 1 choice which was a brown bear with happy birthday on the feet. We paid extra for an outfit, shoes and a recording. But the bear itself was £1 x
When I got my son's bear I think there was a choice of 2 or 3 bears only. And I believe it just has to be in their birthday month. They didn't ask me for any proof but I did take birth certificate just in case. Hope this helps.
