According to a Reddit post that has recently resurfaced on TikTok on the account “Unplugged Moments,” a woman attended a birthday party at the store with her 7-year-old niece where the plan was to eat at the mall’s food court, then go to Build-A-Bear, where the children were to create custom-made Teddy bears, and then go back to the birthday girl Sarah’s house for cake.
Despite her assumption that the bears were considered part of the birthday party activities and would be counted as party favors, the aunt decided not to dwell on it and went back to Sarah’s house where the birthday girl then opened her presents and ate cake.
After the group all took a photo together with their bears, Sarah’s mom told the children to hand over their stuffed animals to Sarah.
Sarah’s mother covered the price of all eight children to make their bears, and the aunt spent an extra $35 to cover additions to the stuffed animals like outfits and accessories.
“On the invite, mind you, it says ‘Sarah’s 7th birthday’, what we’re going to do, ‘every child will be able to build a bear,” the aunt noted on TikTok.
