But in the weeks leading up to the company's biggest day -- Valentine's Day -- life on the production floor can get a bit hectic. Last year, the company sent out more than 200,000 packages to be delivered on the holiday. This year they're hoping to top that.

With 30 to 40 percent of the company's business generated around Valentine's Day, Vermont Teddy Bear is in a crunch to hire 1,000 seasonal employees -- 100 more than last year -- to help make bears and process orders. While Haley works year-round, other employees like Sandy Keck of Vergennes work just for the holidays, when the company operates at a fever pitch.
