Sept. 9 is National Teddy Bear Day, y'all, and Build-A-Bear does something a little special for the event each year. In 2024, you can get a Lil' Cub Brownie Teddy Bear or Lil' Cub Pudding Teddy Bear for just $9 each (regularly $16).

Believe it or not, this is rollback pricing to 1997 (the year Build-A-Bear first opened). That means the price of the Lil' Cub has increased by nearly 44% over the past 27 years.

Thankfully there are other ways to save at the retailer — like the Build-A-Bear birthday discount and occasional Build-A-Bear coupons.

Keep in mind the two varieties of Lil' Cubs will only be available for the $9 price on Sept. 9 (both in store and at BuildaBear.com, while supplies last).

National Teddy Bear Day is an annual event that always lands on Sept. 9, and Build-A-Bear always has a corresponding deal.

Get a Lil' Cub Teddy Bear for $9 (reg. $16) on Sept. 9 — while supplies last, online or in stores.

On Monday, Sept. 9, you can purchase Build-A-Bear's Lil' Cub Teddy Bears for just $9 each (regularly $16) — that's a discount of nearly 44%. The offer is available in store and online at BuildaBear.com, but the fine print states "while supplies last." There isn't any other purchase necessary to get the $9 price on the Lil' Cubs.

Tips for Shopping the Sale

Choose "Buy Online, Pick Up In Store" if shopping BuildaBear.com to avoid shipping fees.

Getting a teddy bear for $9 is great; paying $7.95 for shipping (only a dollar less than the bear) isn't. In order to reach Build-A-Bear's free shipping threshold you have to spend $75, so when possible choose the "Buy Online, Pick Up In Store" option instead. Under an item's product details, you should see which store closest to you has the item in stock. Then, at checkout, you can choose in-store pickup at that location instead of shipping.

Join Build-A-Bear Bonus Club to earn points on your purchase.

Generally speaking, these bears ain't cheap (the $9 Lil' Club special being the exception), so you want to make sure you're earning something on every purchase. The Build-A-Bear Bonus Club is the retailer's loyalty program and it's free to join. You'll earn 1 point for every $1 spent (minus tax and fees). When you reach 100 points (or $100 spent), you'll receive a $10 rewards certificate that's valid for 90 days from the date of issue. You can use the reward on everything from bears, clothing, and accessories, either in store or online.
