Official Membership Kit - First Edition (1998)

The first membership kit was introduced on March 21, 1998 at beaniebabyofficialclub.com. Ty produced the membership kits in partnership with Cyrk Inc., a promotional marketing company. The kits retailed for $9.99 in the USA. This kit is frequently referred to as the "BBOC Gold Membership Kit" because it included a gold-colored card with a unique membership number. Members could visit the club Internet site to purchase promotional items including the Clubby Beanie Baby Bear or Buddy, available only to members.

The First Edition kit was officially retired on December 23, 1998. At that time, club members were informed they had until March 15, 1999 to order the Clubby Beanie Baby bear, after which he would be retired.

BBOC Membership Kit (2003)

The BBOC Membership Kit for 2003 was a new variation on the previous year's Color Me Beanies. For this year, there were four different Color Me Beanie Birthday Kits , a bear, a cat, a dog, and a unicorn. Each Color Me Beanie came in a plastic case that also contained six color markers, a party hat that could be colored, a party horn and a BBOC membership application card. The bears came with one of five different color ribbons. The cat and dog came with collars and the poor unicorn didn't come with any neck decoration. The kit was introduced September 2, 2003.
