Making a purchase could not be easier. Simply select the occasion or gift category from the "Occasions & Gifts" box on the left hand side of the screen, then browse the desired products. When you see a product you would like to purchase simply add it to your Shopping Cart, then either continue shopping for more items or start the checkout process. Please note in order to check out items you will either need to create an account on the Bears 'n' Bubbles site first, or, providing you already have a PayPal account, use the Paypal Express Checkout mechanism which skips our Account Creation process.
We also have new products available for selection as well as special offers. These are displayed on most screens either in a "New Products" box in the bottom center, or in a "Specials" box on the right hand side.
Some of our products have specific options accessible through a drop down list box. We try to predict the most obvious option; if you wish to change it just press the down arrow on the drop down list box and select the option you would prefer. Please note some options will have an additional cost that is clearly shown. For example, in the "Stuffed Bubbles" section, the process is to select the Bear / Soft toy of your choice, then select the Balloon print / colour design you would prefer from the "Bubble" drop down box. In this example it is also possible to specify Bow and Ribbon colours.
Some of our products are unsuitable for young children. When a soft toy is unsuitable we will specify the manufacturer's age restrictions as part of the product description to ensure you are fully informed.
Our "Stuffed Bubbles" range comprise the soft toy (with its own age restrictions), balloons, tissue paper, bows / ribbons, and large latex balloon. While the soft toy may be suitable for young children, the latex balloon, smaller balloons, and tissue paper are not suitable for children under the age of 8 years.
Additionally, in our Stuffed Bubbles range we may use a Nylon line to aid the soft toy stay in its location during postage. Please ensure that this Nylon line, as well as any balloons, tissue paper, bows / ribbons, balloon fragments, and tags are removed from the soft toy before presentation to the recipient of the gift.
Please ensure the balloon is kept away from direct sunlight and warm/hot objects.
Keep the balloon away from sharp objects.
Please keep the balloon away from small children and babies.
Always pop the balloon under adult supervision and way from children and babies.
Please read the safety instructions on the soft toy.
Bears 'n' Bubbles cannot be held responsible for any loss, injury, or damage caused by using our products.
