A couple of weeks ago Anya lost her first tooth. I cried. I’m not normally emotional and have always enjoyed watching her grow up. When the baby years passed and she turned in to a toddler, I felt nothing but joy and delight in seeing her grow and develop. But this milestone was different. This milestone felt like my baby was no longer a baby and was really growing up (sob). Where have these five years gone?
I was soon distracted by Anya’s huge excitement right from the moment she realised she had a wobbly tooth. The tooth fairy is something she has desperately been waiting for and wishing everyday that she would lose a tooth for over a year. More than Santa, the tooth fairy has totally captured her imagination. So that night, along with the tooth fairy pillow loaded with cash and tucked under her pillow, I sprinkled some glitter around her bed. That moment of waking up and discovering the tooth had gone from the pillow and finding some money there instead was priceless – the look on her face was pure delight and amazement. She was jumping up and down and shouting ‘the tooth fairy came, the tooth fairy really came’. And the bonus was finding this adorable golden tooth pillow which she loves. Anya may be growing up but she’s still a child full of wonder and imagination and that is something I hope will stay with her for a long time no matter how old she is.
To celebrate this big milestone I wanted to do something special. So I partnered with Oeuf NYC to give one lucky reader the chance to win this adorable handmade golden tooth fairy pillow. Oeuf kindly sent one for Anya and there’s one for one of you too. The tooth is made of soft baby alpaca wool and has a little pocket at the back to put money in. Anya loves her tooth and has been sleeping with it under her pillow every night since she got it. And I have to agree – it’s so sweet. Oeuf’s tooth fairy pillow is the original and the best and so it had to be this one. Have your kids lost a tooth yet? How did you feel with the first one?

There is a film called the Tooth Fairy you must watch it …Anya would love it. My son watches it regularly. Ethan is nearly 8 and still believes in the tooth fairy…despite his 12.5yr old brother trying to spoil things….i am sure its the film that makes him still believe. My eldest son has only lost 7 teeth and he is 12.5yrs…
I love the little tooth pillow. I saved some lovely tooth fairy keepsake tins on pinterest a while back…you should take a look they are very cute 🙂
Love Oeuf too 🙂
The tooth fairy visited our house two weeks ago 😉
That pillow is so cute!
very cute pillow! i really wish to win it for my little baby girl, who is not loosing but having her first tooth 🙂
This is so lovely, our daughter turns 7 at the end of next month and has only just got her first wobbly tooth! She keeps wobbling it to try and get it to fall out but I don’t think its quite loose enough yet! Id love this little pillow for her 🙂
My children are 22, 17 and 15 and I have kept all their teeth for them! 🙂 LOVE this toothy cushion!
I have been obsessed with this tooth for some time, and the golden color is amazing!
Gorgeous pillow and Anya is so, so stunning-please count my entry, would love to win x
“I’m having trouble thpeaking,
thinthe I lotht my middle tooth.
Jutht yethterday my tooth wath fine,
today it wiggled loothe.”
A perfect pillow to place a first tooth. Lovely.
Love this pillow. So cute.
My little baba is 19 weeks so it us all fummy smiles at the moment i find myself wondering what will she be like at 1-3-5 etc who will she be like what her voice will be and if she will have my curly hair and her Dads stubborness. I want to give her a magical childhood full of whimsy and allow her to be free to be whoever she wants to be. I am totally stealing (with pride) your adorable tooth fairy and glitter idea! what a truly lovely idea.
Thanks for sharing

Hi there! I adore your tooth pillow. 🙂 My daughter Charlotte, 4, would absolutely love it! She is so excited for the tooth fairy one day, and so am I (although I don’t want her to get bigger.) Her younger sister and younger brother would even be able to benefit from using this!
Good luck to all the contestants signing up 🙂
Hi! Lovely blog ☺️ and great post! My son would love a tooth pillow, (as would I!!) shhh
Adorable pillow!
I love this tooth pillow too!!
Your post reminded me of how crushed I was the day I discovered the truth about the tooth fairy… On France (I’m French) we call it “la petite souris” (“the small mouse”) and it also was my favorite (before Santa!)!
I’m expecting a little girl for the end of the month and can’t wait to discover how she will be 🙂

Reading this make me cry. My little girl lost her first one with less than one year because of an accident. She need to get a new one in a small surgery and that one looked darker from month till month. Lucky her, that one is now the first one that is bouncing and right before coming out. We’re waiting for that moment…
Perhaps a pillow like that will be the perfect gift for this special Moment on her way.
Thanks for sharing this Emotion on your Blog!
All the best to you and your fam,Amelie
