Hello there! It’s me, Lucy Tooth, your favorite Tooth Fairy, here to share some fairy secrets about what I—and my fellow fairies—love to leave under pillows! Losing a tooth is such a big deal, and we fairies make sure every visit is as magical as can be. Let me flutter through the delightful surprises we’re leaving for all the brave kids out there and how we’ve partnered with Hold The Magic to make it extra special.
The Traditional Coin
Oh, the shiny coin! For centuries, we Tooth Fairies have left coins to reward children for their sparkling clean, pearly treasures. These days, many of us still love the classic touch of a unique coin. It’s a timeless (and dated) way to teach children the value of their precious teeth. But have you ever wondered why money? Money is not the currency of a child, MAGIC is. IMAGINATION is!
Paper Money Takes Over
It appears that my fairy friends have been keeping up with the latest trends, as paper money is now making an appearance in many homes. A crisp $5 bill is a common gift these days. For special milestones, like the first or front or last tooth, a little extra fairy magic might bring $20 or more. The tradition of leaving money has evolved. Did you know the national average for a Tooth Fairy visit in the U.S. is about $6 per tooth?! Again, we believe that money is not the currency of a child, MAGIC is. And since every child loses 20 teeth, it’s 20 opportunities to deliver a magical and unforgettable experience.
Small Gifts and Trinkets
If you’re wondering what else we’re delivering, let me tell you about some of our favorite surprises! Sometimes, instead of money (or alongside it), I love to leave little treasures like:
-
Stickers: Bright, colorful, and perfect for kids who love decorating.
-
Toys: Tiny toys always deliver instant joy (especially when accompanied by a magical letter in an envelope).
-
Books: Pocket-sized stories or puzzles to keep curious minds busy.
-
Jewelry: Sparkly necklaces or bracelets, often themed around fairies like me!
And for the ultimate in Tooth Fairy treasures, I love delivering Hold The Magic gold bags. The enchanting gift sets include fairy-sized treasures, sparkly pouches, and tiny letters that make every Tooth Fairy visit unforgettable. These curated Tooth Fairy gift ideas are like having a whole fairy workshop tucked under your pillow!
Letters from the Tooth Fairy
Oh, how I love writing notes! Tooth Fairy letters are such a sweet way to connect with the children I visit. Here’s what I often include:
-
A cheerful “Congratulations” for losing a tooth.
-
Tips for brushing and flossing to keep that smile bright.
-
A little story about my fairy adventures in Fairyland.
Hold The Magic helps busy parents (oops, I mean, busy fairies like me!) with beautifully pre-written Tooth Fairy letters that add a special touch of magic to every visit. These notes are perfect for creating lasting memories.
Fairy Dust Magic
Now, what’s a visit from me without a little sparkle? I often leave behind a sprinkle of glittery fairy dust to make it clear that magic has happened overnight. Of course, Hold The Magic includes a lovely glass vial of fairy dust in their Tooth Fairy gift sets, so you’ll know a real fairy came by. Sprinkle just a touch on the window sill and pillow. A little goes a long way with belief!
Practical Rewards for Growing Kids
As your child grows, I like to leave gifts that reflect your child’s new interests. Some of my favorites include:
-
Gift Cards: A small amount to their favorite shop.
-
School Supplies: Fun pens, erasers, or notebooks.
-
Sports Accessories: Cool keychains or wristbands for their favorite team.
Hold The Magic’s versatile gift sets include treasures that can evolve with your child’s age and preferences, so every visit feels tailor-made. Check out their Magic Gift Finder to discover personalized Tooth Fairy gift ideas that perfectly match your child’s interests!
Cultural Variations
Did you know that around the world, lost tooth traditions vary:
-
In Spain and Latin America, my friend Ratoncito Pérez (a tooth-collecting mouse!) leaves coins or gifts.
-
In Japan, children throw their teeth onto the roof or under the house for good luck.
-
In India, children offer their teeth to the sun or bury them in sacred places.
We fairies love learning about these unique traditions and sometimes take inspiration to create new magical memories. Read up on the History of the Tooth Fairy!
Tips from Lucy Tooth
For parents helping me keep the magic alive, here are a few tips to make every visit extra special:
-
Stay Consistent: Decide on a tradition your family loves, whether it’s coins, gifts, or letters. But remember, if you’ve started with money, it’s never too late to start a new tradition! We have seen so many children waking up to toys and not missing the money at all.
-
Be Prepared: Keep a stash of fairy dust and treasures for those wiggly teeth that fall out unexpectedly. With Hold The Magic gift sets you’ll be prepared for three lost teeth! If you’re a real planner, check out The Complete Tooth Fairy Journey Collection for a discounted bundle that covers every lost tooth with a magical moment.
-
Set Expectations: The Tooth Fairy loves all children equally, so keep rewards modest to avoid comparisons. How much money you got shouldn’t be a topic on the playground—but shared stories about Fairyland should!
-
Add a Personal Touch: Letters and themed treasures go a long way in creating magical memories. Let’s find the perfect gift set to match your child’s interests with the Magic Gift Finder.
The Joy of Belief
At the end of the day, my job as the Tooth Fairy is to spark joy and wonder. Whether it’s a shiny coin, a heartfelt note, or one of Hold The Magic’s thoughtfully curated gold treasure bags, what matters most is the sparkle in your child’s eyes. The magic of a lost tooth is something they’ll remember for a lifetime. My visit is all about celebrating your little one’s milestone and keeping the magic alive. Sweet dreams and happy wiggling!
