Teddy bears have been around for as long as any of us can remember, and very happy and comforting creatures they are, too. There's something about them - rather like chocolate - they cheer you up when you feel down; and join in the fun when you feel good.

We've long enjoyed buying Forever Friends cards - the mere sight of the teddy bears on the front just make us feel better.

Did you know that Forever Friends are celebrating their 21st Birthday this year?

If you take a look at their web site, you'll see how much the've changed during that time - from simple but lovely cards to a range of e-cards, wallpapers, screensavers, iPod videos, and mobile goodies - it's all there at Forever Friends.

So what have they got for you and your loved ones?

They've got some fantastic games to play - we know because we've just spent a very happy number of minutes (which shall remain nameless) playing them.

We've also just enjoyed watching their e-cards - enough to put a smile on your face. Take a look yourself!

There's a delightful range of gifts - we particularly liked A Hug in a Mug - a great idea.

You can even join Forever Friends and register free to become a member! You'll get your own profile page, plus entry into Forever Friends' competitions and you'll be able to collect Friendship points - you can find out about those on the site!
