The Office of the Tooth Fairy

My order from Office of the Tooth Fairy arrived last week and I couldn't wait to share with all of you preparing for your child's first tooth loss!

The Official Tooth Fairy Kit, as it's called, contains one letterpress Certificate of Record for filing with your local Tooth Fairy along with one reusable silkscreened cloth deposit bag for the first and all subsequent tooth-related transactions.

Because I've always been a thorough record-keeper of my children's youth, I LOVE that the letterpress and embossed certificate has areas to fill in the child's name, age, specific tooth lost, method of extraction and the compensation!

The entire kit (bag and certificate) is $16.00 at officeofthetoothfairy.com. There are also individual certificates available for $6.00 which are perfect for siblings (you reuse the bag...I already ordered them for my other two younger childre), or if you'd like to keep record of your child's entire dental loss.

Pewter Tooth Fairy Kit

My son is now five and may be losing his first tooth this year. I must admit that it gives me the heebie-geebies just thinking about it, so I'm immersing myself in Tooth Fairy research...which is strange considering we've never done Santa or the Easter Bunny. My children know none of these fictional characters are real so I guess I'm going more for the surprise element than a magical experience...or I'm just enjoying the distraction from the realization that part of my firstborn may be falling out this year. So expect to see a handful of Tooth Fairy products in the coming months as I find exciting products and traditions.

I found this Pewter Tooth Fairy Kit from Crosby & Taylor a couple of weeks ago and loved the keepsake qualities it has. The main component of this kit is a pewter box with an individual cubby for each baby tooth. There is also a satin pouch for the current lost tooth with a ribbon and a pewter coin attached to guide the Tooth Fairy to the tooth under the pillow...a nice touch considering said Fairy works late night hours in the dark.

For the children, there is a satin storage pouch which holds a coin for them to place on their parent's pillow at night. The coin reads, "Remember to ask what the Tooth Fairy brought!" And when all of these special tooth-related activities are complete, you can record the date for each tooth loss as well as what the Fairy left in exchange in the provided chart.

I think this kit would make losing a tooth exciting and memorable...for years to come! It's available at crosbyandtaylor.com for $65.25.

Tooth Pillow

This tooth pillow from Oeuf is for your little one on the verge of losing his or her first tooth. My son was gifted with a Tooth Fairy pillow when he was born but my daughter is still in need of one...and as soon as I laid eyes on this one I knew my search was over!

There is a little pocket in the back for the seamless exchange of teeth and cash. It is hand knit in Bolivia from soft 100% pima cotton and is a Fair Trade product. I'd write some more, but I have to go order one...
