A woman got the best Christmas present last month when her fiance surprised her with her childhood teddy bear.
Vas Alli looked through more than 10,000 vintage teddy bears so that he could reconstruct his fiancee’s favorite bear, Whitey.
“Whitey was given to her as a gift during her mother’s baby shower for Jess, so he is technically older than she is!” Alli wrote in the video description.
The bear was in two pieces and was missing an ear, his nose, both eyes and much of his stuffing, Alli said. He took the bear to the Secaucus Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital in New Jersey for restoration.
In the video uploaded by Alli, Jess nervously opens a box and pulls out the bear. She doesn’t realize what it is until she smells it and takes a second look at it. Watch the clip to see her reaction.
