Hallmark Itty Bittys available now online from newsXpress

newsXpress has launched Itty Bittys in Australia, a new public website offering shoppers access to the adorable collectible Itty Bittys from hallmark.

With many licenced products, the Itty Bittys in Australia website is a new home for Itty Bitty collectors to see new products, purchase and engage in their love of collecting Itty Bittys.

newsXpress shops in Australia sell Itty Bittys.  Click here to see the shops in the newsXpress network selling Itty Bittys.

Thanks to our friends at Hallmark we have a terrific heads-up on new Itty Bittys.

Also, from time to time, we bring in some hard to get Itty Bittys from the US and elsewhere, expanding the unique range available on our Itty Bittys collector website. These occasional bonuses are loved by collectors. We are thrilled when they get so excited.

Itty Bittys are from Hallmark in the United States. They decide the licences and characters they release. The new releases are planned far out. What we see in Australia can vary from what is available in the US because of licence requirements. Some licence owners place significant restrictions on where and whether licences can be on products in foreign countries.

newsXpress shops locally with Itty Bittys stock products selected by the store owner.

Whether you are buying your first Itty Bitty or adding to a collection, these adorable soft characters are a wonderful addition to any home, car or desk where people connect with the characters they love.

We are grateful for the opportunity to bring such joy to the lives of people.

We love all the sizes available of the ty Boos too from the clips to the regular size to medium to large and to extra large. Yes, we love them all as much as any collector loves them. In fact, we love them so much that some of us are collectors ourselves.

Shopping with newsXpress is personal and local. We employ local people. We are well connected with the local community. This is a big newsXpress difference compared to major retailers.

Also, in our shops, you have access to the Beanie Boo Collector Card. This card helps you save money as a collector. It works just like a coffee card. Get stamps on the card and you save money by getting a free boo one you quality. This is a great way to build your collection.

Willow bears – ethically made and exclusive to newsXpress

Willow Bears are hand-made in England. This is important as it is a real statement about these adorable bears and the love and craft invested in making them a true keepsake.

More and more now we are seeing bears come from factories, sweatshops, in Asia yet sold as hand-made. We don’t like this.

We don’t want to be part of the factory sweatshop movement chasing the cheapest price for products possible as this can lead to cutting corners and that is the last thing you want for a bear or dragon you hope to have for a lifetime before passing it on to someone else to love.

At Willow Bears, quality matters. We are committed to being socially responsible and ethical from the sourcing of fabric to wooden joints made from sustainably sourced timber to paying fairly for the talented bear artists and stylists we use to bring these beautiful characters to life.

newsXpress: The best bear shops in Australia

The best bear shops in Australia are your local newsXpress bear shops as they have access to quality bears including the Steiff, Clemens and, exclusively, Willow Bears ranges. It is the Willow range, genuinely unique and made specifically for the collector that make newsXpress stores the best bear shops.

With a wonderful selection of bears and dragons, these shops located around Australia can serve any need. They can also ship anywhere too – helping you serve the needs of family and friends who collect too.

Offering LayBy as well makes paying off the bear easy for local collectors.

In choosing a bear, made sure you purchase a bear that is professionally and ethically made. You can see this for yourself at your local newsXpress by picking up each bear, talking to it and feeling for yourself the quality of the plush or mohair and realising from the touch and feel the quality of each bear.

We say we have the best bear shops in Australia as we have the largest range of new hand made in England bears in Australia.
