A delightful
new twist for
the tooth fairy.
The origin of the Tooth Fairy dates back centuries ago to European history when parents
commonly buried their children’s first fallen baby tooth in the ground. In addition to
believing a new tooth would grow in its place, there was widespread belief that teeth
had an element of power—so much power they could ward off evil. As people migrated
to North America, so too did the legend.
Today, the tradition has evolved and the lost tooth is left under a child’s pillow at
bedtime. While the child is sleeping, the Tooth Fairy makes a visit and takes the tooth in
exchange for money or a gift.
With the new Tooth Fairy Gift Card, a new tradition is born. Whether given in exchange
for a first lost tooth or any lost tooth, it’s a perfect keepsake that can be cherished forever.
