We don't have a build a bear near us, but have on occasion visited them when we are near one. My daughter loves the experience, and treasures all of her Build a Bear friends. My daughter's birthday is in April, but in February we received a $10 Build a Bear bucks "check" to use in the store, within days I received a coupon for 20 or 25% off in my email. My daughter had a cast on her arm since a trip to Disney before Christmas yielded a broken elbow. We were off to see the ortho and get the 2nd cast off just before Valentine's day..to celebrate the cast coming off and give her something special for Valentine's day, we visited Build a Bear in the town that the ortho is in. She picked out a really cute pink dog that came with a "diamond studded collar& diamond studded milk bone shaped tag", the matching puppy that is held by magnet in the larger dogs mouth, and the pink blingy dog carrier that they both fit in. I thought that I would have to split my purchase into two to take advantage of both coupons, but the employee cheerfully put it all together, took the % off the whole amount, and then took the $10 B.B bucks off, leaving me with a balance of less than $19. I would contact B.A.B and ask, because for me, the checks just usually come in the mail, and coupons via email and some times snail mail. Good luck & have fun!
