I distinctly remember the day that I found out Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are not real. I was playing at my friend Gina's house, and during a card game requiring fast flipping skills, her older sister Jessica informed us that the jolly Saint Nick and loveable bunny are just a story, a hoax — not real. And just like that, she unintentionally crushed my spirit. To me, Santa was the beloved man in the red suit who delivered the best dollhouse ever, and the Easter Bunny magically knew that I preferred a basket of jellybeans to giant chocolate rabbits. Now most children connect the dots to the Tooth Fairy being yet another childhood falsehood, after finding out the truth about Santa and the Easter Bunny. Not me. I held onto my faith in the Tooth Fairy, who gave me $2 for every lost tooth, for about a year after the crushing reveal at Gina's house. Maybe I just couldn't let go of believing in a mystery gifter. Then, I guess I became old enough to know better. Or maybe I ran out of teeth to leave the Tooth Fairy.
For the believer in your life, keep the magic going. This tooth fairy kit is the definition of cute. And it has quite an official look for any kid skeptics: one letterpress certificate of record and a silkscreened deposit bag.
