I developed this web-based Gift Business during the time I had cancer.  I needed something to supplement my Retail Gift and Imprinting Shop "Imprinted Memories", a 14 year old Business that I truly Love and did not want to lose.  But, the cancer and especially the chemo was keeping me from doing what I love at my shop: making one-of-a-kind Gifts, Awards, and Apparel.

I knew I had to do something one night when I came up with an Idea!  I thought: everyone loves Gund Teddy Bears and everyone loves Jelly Bellys, so why not put them together?  Since I already carried both product lines in my shop, I picked out a name, "send a bear in a box", and went to work!  Working mostly from home, I first had to learn how to make a web site!  So, one step at a time, I developed this web site.  It originally started out with twelve Teddy Bears, a few boxes of Jelly Bellys, and 6 greeting cards.  I know have almost two hundred Bears and Stuffy Friends and over a hundred Greeting Cards.  I manage both my shop and web business and love them both.

I am now working on a web site for my shop Imprinted Memories right now my Imprinted Items are only available at my shop but soon (I hope!)  My unique Memory Boxes, Engraved Garden Items & Custom Apparel will be on line too.

The Teddy Bears are set up in the shop in an area I call "Jelly Belly Park", so You can order Teddy Bears from the web site or at my Shop.
