For our last retreat, we went to Build-A-Bear. I don't know how well known it is, but it's a store (kinda geared towards little kids) where you pick out a stuffed animal, and you get to stuff it yourself, and make a birth certificate, and dress it, and all these other fun little things. The bears are anywhere from $10 to $20, and they're all really cute! You can even get accessories for it like shoes, jeans, sunglasses, etc. Then we bought plain T-shirts, and went back to a sister's house to puffy paint "lettered" shirts for the bears. I thought it was fun, because now we have a super fun bear to remember our retreat by!
