When Guardian launched the start of the Paddington Bear stamp collection, I remember glancing through the leaflet and decided I’m not Paddington Bear crazy, so I didn’t bother to participate. How this works is this:
For every purchase of RM25, you are entitled to collect 1 Paddington Bear stamp. At a minimum of 20 stamps, you can redeem a Paddington Bear for free!

Yesterday I was at Guardian because they ran a sale on their Huggies Dry diapers. I automatically received some Paddington Bear stamps along with my purchases and the cashier helped me stick those stamps onto a little card. I felt like a school girl once again, getting a sticker for good behaviour or good grades!
Almost instantly, I got quite hooked to the idea of redeeming a Paddington Bear for free for my little boy (I swear it’s for my little boy and not me!). You see, he loves soft toys. So if I keep purchasing my regular stuff from Guardian from now until February 2009, I might just maket he minimum 20 stamps to redeem the smallest size Paddington. Not a bad idea at all!
The Paddington Bear is quite a lovable little plush toy, isn’t it?
