Pudsey products
There are lots of gorgeous and yummy Pudsey products on sale in the lead up to this year's ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need TV show – with something to suit every pocket. A donation from the sale goes towards helping disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.

Asda, Boots, Lakeland, Build-A-Bear, Greggs, Costco, Jo Jingles, King Cole and WH Smith have all created bespoke Pudsey Bear goodies.

Some stories behind the products…
Ìý
In keeping with the Do Something Different theme of this year's appeal, Pudsey Bear is challenging everyone to wear his iconic spotty bandana in their own individual way.
Ìý
The new-look bandana is on sale for just £2 in Asda, Boots and via bbcshop.com/childreninneed. Like Pudsey, the bandana has become synonymous with ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need and helping disadvantaged children across the UK, and it is hoped to raise thousands towards the cause from its sale.
Ìý
Pudsey received a new look last year and Asda has celebrated with a great new George by Asda clothing range including T-shirts, PJs and socks which will have kids across the country looking stylish this appeal night.

Historically, one of the favourite ways to make money for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need (apart from sitting in a bath of baked beans) is to organise a cake or cookie sale. This year the Lakeland Pudsey Cookie Cutter is celebrating its 10th anniversary. Over the past decade £180,000 has been raised for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Children in Need from sales of the cutter alone. Plus, all the biscuits baked will have gone on to raise a lot more too. Now that's a lot of cookies – not bad for a little bear!
Ìý
For a truly unique present Boots have created Hug perfumes which are based on the nostalgic scents of childhood. Hug Her invokes memories of being wrapped in a warm towel after bath-time while Hug Him is reminiscent of a mix of sticky cola cubes and cedarwood pencil shavings. Get all "hugged" up for only £10 at your nearest Boots.
