(With sugar and honey on the top!)
I’m keeping myself (waaaaay too) busy by going with 13 hives of bees this year, and setting up a charitable foundation so all honey profits go to Tom’s favorite charities.
In investigating honey containers, I found some new ones, so our theme-dressed bears now include large ones, and two small ones that are way too cute (not practical, but way too cute.) I need your input, but first — some background.
The “regular” bears hold 12 ounces; the giant bears hold 24. While they look the same as the 12 ounce, their size makes them rather formidable, so Tom’s Mom crocheted incredible hats to soften their image.
So the giants have hats and scarves, the regulars have scarves — what do I do with the 4 ounce baby bears, and 8 ounce adolescent bears?
I can make them graduation bears … what do you think? Any other ideas? And if you like graduation bears, what’s a reasonable price? (I’m thinking $9, $5, $4 and $2.50 for the 24, 12, 8 and 4 ounce bears.) Do I offer different color tassles and mortarboards? Other than the forthcoming foundation website, how else can I market them? Your thoughts please, and thank you!
