Bear with me on this one. I’m not a natural teddy bear type, unlike our bare bear expert — believe it or not we have one — Adelle Tilton over in Nebraska, from where she authors our Bears and Dolls blog.

Windsor Bear is specially made by Steiff, the inventors of the modern teddy, for the Queen’s 80th birthday. It is a special edition and likely to rise in value over the years, so get your order in quickly — if you really need one.

The blurb says: “Windsor is hand-made from the finest golden-brown mohair [don't you just envy him?] and wears the famous Steiff button in his ear [perhaps not].”

The bear costs £185 ($340) direct from Danbury Mint, Cox Lane, Chessington, Surrey, KT9 1SE. Tel: [+44] (0)870 112 3711.

If you’re ooohing and aaahing, you definitely need one of these.
