Why would anybody want a giant, 4 foot, teddy bear for Valentine's Day? [View all]

We have a big house, but it is already full of trinkets, pictures and momentos, and toys for the grandsons and our little doggie. No way would I want to figure out where to store such a thing. Can't imagine why anybody would want one of them. But I guess Vermont Teddy Bears or whatever, gets a lot of sales, because they've been advertising for years.
