The tooth fairy traditionally leaves money, but you could also give your child a special tooth fairy container, box, or pillow.
This milestone moment is a great opportunity to create lasting memories and traditions. While monetary gifts are common, consider adding a personal touch with something that will be treasured for years to come.
Here's a breakdown of potential gifts:
-
Money: This is the most traditional option. The amount is entirely up to you and what feels appropriate for your family.
-
Tooth Fairy Container, Box, or Pillow: A special container gives your child a dedicated place to safely store their lost teeth. This also makes it easier for the "tooth fairy" (you!) to retrieve the tooth without disturbing your child's sleep.
-
Small Toys or Trinkets: Consider a small toy, sticker, or another trinket that your child enjoys. This can be a fun alternative or addition to money.
-
Book: A book about losing teeth or the tooth fairy can be a comforting and educational gift.
-
Personalized Note from the Tooth Fairy: A handwritten note from the tooth fairy can add a touch of magic and excitement.
Ultimately, the best gift is one that your child will appreciate and that aligns with your family's values and traditions. Consider combining elements for a truly special experience.
