How much she give these days? Coins, notes?

As a child I think I had a shiny 50 pence wrapped up in the tissue i’d put my tooth in to go under the pillow.

Do you leave anything else, what is your routine?

£2 for first tooth and £1 for subsequent teeth. (Really hasn’t kept up with inflation but my children are happy enough with that!). Sometime leaves glitter and once a Baby bel wrapper which was confusing and attributed to the tooth mouse by my eldest child 🤣

When they were young, I think we gave 50p!

Now my oldest is 13 and still losing teeth (he and his younger brother are quite late with the whole teeth falling out business!! still have several more teeth left to loose) it's gone up to about £2 or £3 depending on how broke I'm feeling and how many coins I have around the house, and how much he bargains with me!! ;)

50p / £1 and a little letter. Did give DD a £5 note when she had a very traumatic experience having a tooth pulled.

Always £1 coin here.

We did £5 for the first tooth then £1 thereafter.

We gave dd £5 for her first tooth fairy visit because she lost 2 teeth in 1 day! It was going to be a £2 coin but we upped the ante a bit considered the two in one day first loss (at different times of the day!)

It'll be £1 per tooth now.

Our tooth fairy brings £1.
She frequently forgets and has to send a letter of apology the next day!

inappropriateraspberry · 13/03/2025 22:14

£1 here. Was going to do 50p but it’s not a lot these days!

GoogolB · 13/03/2025 22:11

£1 is plenty imo.

Insanity23 · 13/03/2025 22:10

£2/£5 seems reasonable.

It's all contactless nowadays.
So a small printed receipt is all that's needed, stapled to the pillow.

😂It wouldn’t surprise me
