Finding a cuter giraffe than our Gina would be a tall order indeed! With her long neck and her dangly legs, she’s simply too cute to resist. Her body is sewn from intricately printed spotted material for a realistic look. White fabric accents add contrast to her face and hooves. Tufts of fuzzy fur serve as a true-to-life finishing touch to her “horns.” Bean bags add weight and help Gina sit in place. Gina makes a gift that stands head and shoulders above the rest!

About Steiff

Founded in 1880, the company motto is “Only the best is good enough for our children”. By sticking to this over the years the Steiff company name has became synonymous with high-quality soft toys, and in particular teddy bears, all over the world. The company is also well known for its “Button in Ear” trademark.

Steiff is largely credited for manufacturing the original "Teddy Bear". In 1902,Richard Steiff designs the "Bear 55 PB", the world's first plush bear with movable arms and legs. The original. in 1906, The Steiff bear becomes the teddy bear
American President Theodore Roosevelt, whose nickname was "Teddy", played a major role in the success of the Steiff bear and in giving it its name. He refused to shoot a helpless bear tied to a leash during a hunting trip. As a result, he was portrayed by cartoonist Cliffort K. Berryman in the Washington Post along with a small bear. This is the best publicity for our Teddy Bear, the Teddy Boom begins and our Steiff brand achieves worldwide recognition.
