About Us

Aroma Bears were created in 2004 by JCS Creations. JCS Creations was formed in 2002 by three generations of ladies. A grandmother, mother and daughter pulled together to create these little bears. JCS Creations first started out solely as a candle company. With the influx of homemade candles in the market they looked to create something unique. These little bears are dipped in a scented wax that fills the room with an aroma that lasts for several months. Even though the candles were a huge success, the bears became the star of the show. They would go to local arts and crafts fairs to display the wide variety of bears and the response was great.

If you are in need of a baby shower gift or a gift for that special someone, then these little bears are just right for you. The bears are not created until their owners choose them. Each bear is made to order and is available in a variety of scents and themes. Visit our aroma page for the different scents. The themes range from babies, to school spirit or a lazy day bear. Even father's enjoy receiving the "Gone Fishing" bear.

Candles are still available to order - visit the candle page for additional information.

Bears

Our bears are selected due to the quality of their fur. It takes a particular type of fur to withstand the waxing process.

Wax

The waxes that are chosen are quality waxes that can withstand heat and still look natural.

Scent Selections

The scents used for these little bears are carefully tested before using. Each scent is chosen for it's maximum throw capability.

Legend of the Teddy Bear

In November of 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip in Mississippi while trying to settle a boundary dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. Being an accomplished outdoorsman, he liked to bag big game.

However, his hunt was going poorly that day, and he couldn’t seem to find anything worthy of discharging his rifle. His staff, trying to accommodate him, captured a Louisiana black bear cub for the President to shoot, but he could not. The thought of shooting a bear that was tied to a tree did not seem sporting, so he spared the life of the black bear cub and set it free.

A famous political cartoonist for the Washington Star, Mr. Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon titled, "Drawing the Line in Mississippi" which used the story of the President refusing to shoot the bear as a metaphor for how he dealt with the boundary dispute.

The cartoon in the Washington Star showed Teddy Roosevelt, rifle in hand, with his back turned on a cute, cowering baby bear. Morris Michtom, owner of a Brooklyn toy store, was inspired by the cartoon to make a stuffed bear cub. Intending it only as a display, he placed the stuffed bear in his toy store window, and next to it placed a copy of the cartoon from the newspaper. To Michtom’s surprise, he was besieged by customers eager to buy. He asked for and received President Roosevelt’s permission to use his name for the hand-sewn bears that he and his wife made, and the "Teddy Bear" was born! Michtom was soon manufacturing Teddy bears by the thousands. The proceeds enabled him, in 1903, to form the Ideal Toy Company.
