Tooth Fairy Letters

[Cat2015]

Hi all - I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this. I'm considering starting up a new venture and would like to know your thoughts. 3 years ago a friend of mine asked me to respond to a letter her daughter had written to the tooth fairy - 3 years on and I am still her daughters 'tooth fairy' - I'm now thinking there could be something in this but wondered what your thoughts are - are there mums and dads who would be interested in getting a personalised hand written letter to their kiddies from the "tooth fairy"?

I could have done with you at 11pm on Friday night, trying to write a note in tiny, disguised handwriting!

To be honest, though, I'm afraid I wouldn't consider paying someone to do this. Also, I am the only person, bar one friend, who enters into this madness!

I'm just not sure there's enough demand out there.

I would have loved to have bought a pack of 20 letters from the tooth fairy (one for each milk tooth!) with maybe a few spare letters for when teeth go missing or when the tooth fairy has had a particularly busy night and forgot to visit ??

You don't need 20 letters! Kids don't believe in the tooth fairy for long enough to lose 20 teeth.

I wouldn't have spent money on something like that, but I made my own letters from Santa so I would just make them myself. Hand written would be of no interest to me. There are plenty of lovely free fonts online.

It would be a bit difficult to get the letter to the child quickly enough to respond to a lost tooth, unless the parent bought them in advance (and I was never organised enough to do that and be able to find them when needed.)

I'm afraid I wouldn't spend money on it.

When dd's first tooth fell out, I decided it would be a great idea to write her a letting in mirror writing (ie, every letter backwards, and going from right to left). It was a BRILLIANT idea for the first letter, but not so good on the 19th tooth, especially when I forget and then have to get up at 3am to write the letter and find a coin.

I don't think I would spend money on this (although my kids haven't lost any teeth yet). I am quite looking forward to doing it myself!
