HELSINKI (Reuters) - Is your favorite teddy bear or stuffed animal worn down by the daily grind and desperately in need of a vacation?
Finnish firm Teddy Tours Lapland Oy (http://www.teddytourslapland.com) has come up with one solution: holidays in northern Finland for that special stuffed friend costing from 110 euros to 170 euros ($140-$216).
The "Standard Journey" for teddies includes a trip around the northern town of Rovaniemi and is capped off with a visit to Santa Claus. The stuffed animal will also receive a gift, send a postcard to its owner and be sent home with holiday photos.
The "Luxury Journey" includes, on top of the standard journey package, a trip to a reindeer farm where the bear can feed Santa's reindeer.
"This is followed by a snowmobile safari. On safari, Teddy will try ice fishing on the frozen waterway and savor hot chocolate by the campfire," the firm said on its Web site, adding the whole trip will also be recorded on videotape.
Teddy Tours Lapland will also provide the bear, should you not want to send your own abroad or don't own one yet.
Currently the company only offers trips during the winter, but it is also planning summer programs as well.
"People or living pets may not participate on these trips," the firm said on its Web site.

I believe my wife still has a brochure from Kub Kamp, a place in the U.S. (circa 1985) that would accept your stuffed animal for a vacation frolicking in the woods with other stuffed animals. You got a nice set of pictures of all the fun your animal had with its friends, returned with your stuffed friend.

I've never left the United States and when I should have done those European tours
after I graduated from high school, I went to Disney World instead. I'd prefer to go someplace
more high-profile like Ireland, the U.K., France, Italy, or Greece, but if I can use my IMWAN idea
to con these people into letting me see Finland for less than $200, I'm all for it!

It could have been run by Europeans, I guess, since I never checked into it.
