They were little plastic teddy bears on a keyring with a light up nose and short fuzzy fur. They came in a range of colours, were scented with a fruit flavour and could be fed by a little plastic bottle. They could say things like "I love you" and cried when hungry.
"Lovable Bears" came out in 1998 and were made by a company called "Giochi Preziosi" I think. I believe their full name was "Electrical Talking Lovable Bears". When they were first released there was a short-lived craze for them and they sold about 1 million units.

The "Love2Love Bears" came out in around 2007 and were released by a company called "Vivid Imaginations" I think.

Both bears were initially avaliable from places such as "Amazon", "Toys R Us", "Argos" and "The Entertainer".
I would really love to buy one of these bears but I have not been able to find one anywhere. I would ideally like a "Lovable Bear" (preferably in pink although I'd like any colour). But I would also be keen to buy a "Love2Love Bear". I don't mind how old and beaten up the bear is as long as it still works! I am really hoping someone can help me if they know where I can find one of these bears or if they own one that they would like to sell. Thank you!
