Spreading Christmas joy, one toy at a time!

Something very special is happening in South Africa this November, and two of our Blueberry Forest bears are joining in the fun!

Cody, our adventurous biker bear, is heading to the Cape Town Toy Run on 29 November 2026!

He'll be joining hundreds of big-hearted bikers who come together to make Christmas a little brighter for children who might otherwise go without a gift. The Toy Run is a wonderful South African tradition, bringing motorcyclists, families and communities together to collect toys and gifts for children in need. And Cody is absolutely thrilled to be part of it!

Come Along and Join the Fun

Come and be part of this wonderful day of fun, friendship and giving! Meet Cody, give him a high-five, a big bear hug or grab a selfie with him! Bring a toy, bring your family and help spread a little Christmas joy to children who need it most!

Every year, motorcyclists across South Africa gather for a very special reason: to bring joy to children. Bikers arrive with toys and gifts, which are collected and distributed to children who might otherwise have very little, or nothing at all, to open at Christmas. It's not about what you ride or how much you spend. It's about people coming together, giving what they can and making a difference. And you don't need to own a motorbike to help!

How Can You Get Involved?

1. Join a Toy Run near you

If you ride a motorcycle join the mass ride to the venue. For those who don't ride a motorcycle, join in at the venue. It's a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a day out while supporting a wonderful cause.

2. Donate a toy

You don't need to be a biker to make a difference. Find out where your nearest Toy Run is collecting gifts and drop off a toy.

3. Send a toy

Living abroad, or can't attend in person? You can support your preferred Toy Run by arranging a gift delivery directly to the organisers. Click on this link to choose the Toy Run you would like to support and send your gift directly to them using Amazon.co.za or Takealot.com to buy a gift and send it directly to them.

Suggested Gifts

Here are a few ideas for gifts that could bring a smile to a child's face:

• Babies and toddlers: New or pre-loved soft toys, rattles, stacking cups and age-appropriate developmental toys.
• Young children: Dolls, toy cars, building blocks, puzzles, colouring books and crayons.
• Older children: Board games, sports equipment, craft kits, books and stationery.
• Teenagers: Toiletry gift sets, art supplies, journals, sports accessories and other age-appropriate gifts.

A little reminder: Please donate new, safe, age-appropriate gifts. Good quality pre-loved gifts are also accepted. Check your local Toy Run's guidelines before purchasing, as requirements may differ between organisers.

A Little Gift Can Make a Big Difference

Christmas is a time of giving, sharing and showing kindness. For a child who might otherwise receive nothing, one thoughtfully chosen gift can mean so much. And when lots of people each do a little something, together we can make a big difference. So whether you're riding along, dropping off a toy or sending a gift from afar, we'd love you to be part of this wonderful tradition.

Oh, and by the way… Cody isn't the only Blueberry Forest bear getting involved!

Wilson is heading to the Toy Run in Port Elizabeth!

That's two bears, two cities and one very special Christmas mission. Keep an eye out for them, and if you spot either of our bears, be sure to say hello!
