Don’t let the waistcoat and bow tie fool you — William may look every inch the proper little gentleman, but there’s a decidedly cheeky character hiding beneath those impeccable manners. Inspired by the old-world charm of vintage teddy bears and classic British style, he brings together traditional character, distinctive styling and just the right amount of mischief. Whether he’s joining a birthday celebration, keeping someone company or simply finding a special place to call home, William is a charming bear with a personality all his own.

At first glance, William appears to be a perfectly respectable little gentleman. With his smart grey waistcoat, crisp shirt, charcoal trousers and burgundy bow tie, he certainly looks as though impeccable manners should come naturally.
Spend a little more time with him, however, and another side of William begins to emerge.
Part of the Notting Hill Bear collection, William takes his inspiration from the old-world charm of vintage teddy bears and classic British style. But beneath that traditional exterior lives a playful character with a fondness for fun and just enough mischief to ensure life never becomes too serious.
That combination is exactly what makes him so endearing. William has the nostalgic appeal of a teddy that could have stepped from the pages of an old storybook, yet there’s nothing stuffy about him. He’s full of personality and beautifully detailed, equally at home joining in the adventures or sitting somewhere special waiting for the next one to begin.
Beautifully presented in his kraft and khaki gift box, William makes a thoughtful companion for someone who appreciates a teddy with a little character — whether he’s arriving for a birthday, bringing some cheerful company or simply turning up because every home could use one well-dressed troublemaker.
After all, the best-behaved bears rarely have the best stories.
At Gift Basket Boutique, we believe the most memorable gifts often have a little personality of their own. William certainly has plenty — beautifully dressed, wonderfully distinctive and never quite as well behaved as his bow tie would have you believe.
Picture the moment William is lifted from his gift box, smartly dressed in his waistcoat and bow tie, looking every inch the proper little gentleman.
Then comes the second look — that characterful face and the suspicion that perhaps he isn’t quite as well behaved as his outfit suggests. With his vintage-inspired styling and playful personality, William is the kind of bear that makes people smile before finding himself a special place to sit, where he can quietly keep company… and perhaps contemplate his next bit of mischief.
Whether he’s marking a special occasion, joining someone’s collection or simply bringing a little old-school character into their world, William is a charming choice for:
Every teddy bear is lovingly prepared in our Gold Coast studio before being beautifully presented in its gift box and carefully packaged for its journey to homes across Australia. Whether you’re sending a birthday surprise, a thoughtful gesture or a comforting gift, we’ll make sure it arrives ready to bring a smile.

We’ve answered some of the questions we’re asked most often to help you choose the perfect gift with confidence.
Is William more suited to cuddles or display?
William is a little different from many of the soft toys in the GBB Collection. With his detailed clothing, more structured feel and vintage-inspired character, he’s particularly suited to being treasured as a keepsake or displayed somewhere special. He still makes a lovely companion, but his charm lies more in his distinctive character and traditional styling than in being an especially soft and cuddly teddy.
Does William arrive in a gift box?
Yes. William is beautifully presented in his distinctive kraft and khaki gift box, finished with ribbon and ready to give. His presentation complements his traditional styling and makes opening the gift part of the experience.
Will my William look exactly like the one pictured?
William’s distinctive outfit and character will remain as shown, although small variations in fur, expression and positioning may naturally occur between individual soft toys. These subtle differences are part of the charm and character of a traditional-style teddy bear.
Can the gift be delivered directly to the recipient?
Yes. Simply enter their delivery details during checkout and we’ll send your gift directly to them.
Can I include a gift message?
Of course. We’ll include your personal message with the gift at no extra charge.
When will my gift be delivered?
For our Teddy Bear Gifts, we offer Free Standard or Express Delivery Australia-wide. Estimated delivery times are shown during checkout based on the delivery postcode.
Can I add a little extra to my gift?
Yes. You can personalise your order and make it uniquely yours with thoughtful finishing touches such as chocolates, candles and more.
How is my gift packaged?
Every Gift Basket Boutique gift is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully arranged before being carefully packaged for its journey. We believe the presentation is part of the gift, so every order is protected with the same care and attention that goes into creating it, helping it arrive ready to celebrate the people who matter most.
Why was William chosen for the GBB Collection?
William was chosen because he brings something wonderfully different to our teddy bear collection. Inspired by the old-world charm of vintage teddy bears and classic British style, his smart waistcoat, trousers and burgundy bow tie give him a distinctive character all his own. And beneath that very proper appearance is a playful little personality that ensures William is never quite as serious as he looks.
What occasions is William perfect for?
William is a thoughtful choice for birthdays, milestone celebrations, congratulations, Father’s Day and “Just Because” surprises. His traditional styling also makes him particularly appealing to teddy bear collectors, lovers of vintage-inspired pieces or anyone who would enjoy giving this well-dressed gentleman a special place in their home.
What makes William so special?
William’s charm lies in the contrast between how he looks and who he is. Dressed like a perfectly respectable gentleman, he has the nostalgic character of an old-fashioned teddy bear — yet his playful nature suggests there may be a little mischief hiding behind that bow tie. More keepsake than cuddle bear, William is a distinctive character made to be enjoyed, displayed and remembered.
Every gift is lovingly handcrafted in our Gold Coast studio and beautifully presented before it leaves our hands.
If we’d be proud to give it to someone we love, we’re proud to send it on your behalf.
