Our Story
FairyTales: A whimsical blend of wonder and delight
Over twenty-eight years ago, Jim and I began Fairytales as a small, family-owned, mail-order company that sold loveable teddy bears. Today, we are still family-owned and we still sell loveable teddy bears -- as well as collectibles, apparel, gifts, home goods, and so much more.
Jim and I have enjoyed watching our four children grow up with FairyTales, and we have seen first hand the joy on a child’s face when they find their forever stuffed animal. Our daughter still has her Steiff teddy bear from her childhood, and our boys have loved their stuffed alligators and sharks. Now our granddaughter cuddles with her favorite Gund elephant.
At FairyTales, we work to bring that same joy to all our customers and clients when they find the perfect gift or piece for their collection. We value the relationships we have developed with customers and collectors, some of which have been shopping at Fairytales since we began.
Today, customers can shop from the comfort of their homes, or stop by our Lombard, IL location to experience the wonder and delight in person. Either way, we are committed to providing our customers with an unparalleled shopping experience.
We have over a quarter-century of intimate product knowledge, and the customer service we provide is not just found in fairytales.
-- Jim and Rochelle Pokorn
