Where is the Halloween Bear available?

The Halloween Bear is available in Telegram's gift catalog and in the StarsJoy Mini App. The right route depends on your Stars balance and your card:

Other bots may offer it too, but check that they're trustworthy before paying. Here's how: is buying Telegram Stars safe.

How do I get the Halloween Bear from StarsJoy?

You don't need a Stars balance: you pay in Uzbek som and the gift goes straight to the recipient.

1. Open the Mini App. Go to @starsjoybot and choose the Gift section.
2. Enter the recipient. Type a friend's username or your own.
3. Pick the gift. Tap the 50-Star pumpkin bear. You can add a message or send it anonymously.
4. Pay. Transfer the exact amount to the card the bot shows, via Payme, Click or a banking app.
5. Receive it. The gift usually arrives in about 10 seconds. Under the public offer, orders are fulfilled within 5 minutes.

The amount in the bot may be a few hundred UZS below 13,000. That's how the payment is matched to your order, so send it exactly as shown. If the recipient has closed messages in their profile, the gift won't go through.

Don't wait for sales to end. Open @starsjoybot and send the Halloween Bear for 13,000 UZS.

How do I send the Halloween Bear in the Telegram app?

If you have 50 Stars in your balance, you can do it in Telegram itself:

1. Open the recipient's profile.
2. In the ⋮ or ⋯ menu at the top, choose Send a Gift.
3. Find the Halloween Bear in the catalog.
4. Add a message or hide your name, then pay 50 Stars.

If you're short of Stars, buy them from StarsJoy with Uzcard or Humo. The minimum is 50 Stars, which is 12,000 UZS.

Which is cheaper: Stars or a ready-made gift?

On a single gift the difference is 1,000 UZS, and sending it yourself is cheaper. A ready-made gift saves a few steps and doesn't require buying Stars. For several gifts, the 100 Stars pack is handier.

In the Telegram app, 50 Stars cost about $1, but the App Store or Google Play usually asks for an international card. StarsJoy Stars prices are in Uzbek som.

How long will the Halloween Bear be on sale?

There's no exact date, because Telegram hasn't announced one. But seasonal 50-Star bears tend not to stay long:

So the Halloween Bear could also disappear within days. That's an estimate, not an official date. While it's on sale, supply is unlimited, so it won't sell out.

Can I get the Halloween Bear after sales end?

Once it's removed from Telegram's catalog, you can't buy a new one. Gifts already bought stay with their owners. Regular gifts can't be transferred to someone else either: only collectibles can.

So be careful if anyone offers this gift "for free" or "at a discount" after sales end. If Telegram opens upgrades later, collectible versions could appear on the market, but that isn't guaranteed.

Can I sell the Halloween Bear or convert it to Stars?

You can't sell it on the marketplace, but you can convert it to Stars. The rules:

• What you get back: about 43 Stars, which is only part of the 50 Stars;
• Time limit: only for a limited period after receiving it;
• Result: the gift is permanently destroyed;
• Rating: under Telegram's rules, your profile rating drops.

No upgrade has been announced as of 2026-10-31.

What changed with the Mask gift?

On the same day, Telegram shipped another update: upgrades opened for the 2025 Mask gift. That happened on October 31, 2026, at about 20:09 Tashkent time, along with new models for crafting.

Unlike the Halloween Bear, Mask isn't on primary sale or in the StarsJoy catalog, so you can only get it from existing owners. An unupgraded Mask, which cost 500 Stars in 2025, reached about $36 on third-party platforms (as of October 31). Prices like this move quickly, so don't treat it as an investment.

What should I watch out for when buying a gift?

Never share your Telegram password or SMS code. StarsJoy only needs a username.

Gift owners face one more risk: fake "I'll buy your gift" messages increased in October. The button in these messages doesn't pay you Stars; it hands your gift to the scammer for free. A genuine offer appears in the center of the screen, while a fake one sits on the left like a normal message.

If an order fails for a technical reason, send your receipt to @StarsjoySupport within 24 hours for a full refund. More: is StarsJoy legit.
