Where do I buy stuffed animals (and other arts and crafts items) at wholesale prices?

My mom has a home-bussiness making artificial flower arrangements and stuffed animal arrangements, and I'm trying to find somewhere she can buy her materials for a cheaper price. For example, right now she's making Christmas Wreaths and we had to go buy them at Michael's for 5 bucks. We took advantage of the Black Tuesday Sales and were able to buy them for around 2bucks after coupons and everything. The thing is, I'm sure Michael's is still making a profit off of the wreaths even selling them for 2bucks, so where do THEY buy them? The same with the Teddy bears...even though we shop after Valentines or mother's day when the bears are usually half off, they're still expensive!! So, my question is, does anybody know where I can buy these items at a wholesale price??? Obviously I'd have to buy hundreds, but I think we would do it, since my mom uses so many throughout the year. I appreciate the help.

Reply:She should consider making her own, as opposed to assembling from store-bought components. Otherwise she will always be stuck paying retail. To get the lowest price, she has to exploit slave labor and contribute to the Chinese poisoning of the environment and our children, and the stuff will fall apart right after they buy it.

Reply:You need to go through a wholesaler. Try 4SGM.com. They carry a wide assortment of merchandise. They do have a minimum but they're easy to work with.
