From the Manufacturer
Wish...Share...Shine! Next time you wish upon a star...let it be your very own shining star! RUSS has partnered with the International Star Registry in a revolutionary new Shining Stars program. The program includes a plush Shining Stars Friend, crafted using only the finest of materials and identifiable by the crystal-like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad...and the chance to literally become a star by having your name officially recorded with a star in the sky. You can choose from a wide variety of Shining Stars Friends to buy for yourself or to give to your own shining star. Once purchased, you can log on the the Shining Stars website and using the secret code found inside the laminated tamper resistant hangtag, you can register and name your star with the International Star Registry. The name will be offically recorded in book form with the United States Copyright office and the website will show an image and the coordinates of your star. This can then be printed on a certificate that verifies it's exact location in the cosmos. But there's more...for children of all ages, the website is a virtual universe where they can send e-cards, play customized games designed for different age groups and find a galaxy of fun activities. Young or old, anyone who receives a Shining Stars Friend will have a cherished keepsake to treasure forever, as well as their own personal star to shine brightly throughout eternity. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will also be donated to the Starlight Starbright children's foundation. So, reach for the Shining Stars and get ready to embark on a magical virtual journey where everyone can...Wish...Share...Shine!

Customer Reviews

Nice Idea - Average Quality
I think the idea behind "NAMING A STAR" is a very interesting concept to gift recipients. However, I was somewhat disappointed in the actual product (stuffed animal). The animal was rather "flimsy" and seem to have loose fur. I would not recommend allowing a small child to "play" with the stuffed animal.

Cute and Fuzzy
I ordered this toy as a gift for a teenage friend, and I think she will love it. It's as cute as the picture and must softer than I expected. I don't know how long the softness will last, but so far so good. It's a bit smaller than I expected, but true to the product dimensions listed. Just take out a ruler if you aren't sure exactly how big the dimensions would be.

This is one of the cutest teddy bears I have ever seen. I am definitely satisfied! I wish I had one for myself.

Shining Stars Bear - excellent!
Great shipping and service. These stuffed animals are a real treat. The kids will love them! I even got one for myself!
