Let’s compare the classics, then meet the upgrade
When a tooth wiggles free, a new little tradition begins—and the question follows: where should that tiny tooth go? For years, families have turned to wooden boxes or fabric pillows, but today’s Tooth Fairy keepsakes are more fun, more functional, and designed with kids in mind.
Let’s take a look at the options and what makes each special… then we’ll show you why our Tooth Brigade plushies aren’t just pillows—they’re a full fairy experience.
The Lost Tooth Box
What it is: A small wooden or metal container, often engraved, that holds a child’s lost tooth.
Pros:
-
Charming and nostalgic
-
Compact and tidy
-
Can be used for multiple kids or passed down
Cons:
-
Not something a child will play with or engage with
-
Small enough to get lost under pillows or behind beds
-
Feels more like a keepsake for the parent than the child
Best for: Parents who want to hold on to tradition and share one keepsake across siblings. This is a choice rooted in sentiment—but let’s be honest: no kid is excited about a box.
The Tooth Fairy Pillow (But Better)
What it is: Our Tooth Brigade pillows are playable plushies—not just a cute pillow with a pocket, but a character your child can snuggle, play with, and trust to guard their treasure.
Pros:
-
Huggable plush character, not just fabric
-
Pocket “mouth” to safely store the tooth until the Tooth Fairy arrives
-
Comes with a storybook that prepares your child for their first tooth loss
-
Includes a tracker to mark each wiggly milestone
-
Designed for kids, but durable enough to pass down
Cons:
-
Since it is an everyday toy, make sure it is easy to locate once the plushie needs to be used as a tooth pillow.
Best for: Families who want to make tooth loss fun, comforting, and truly magical. Kids love these plushies, and the books spark excitement while answering questions like: Where does the Tooth Fairy live? and How does she find your house?
So Which One Should You Choose?
Both options have their charm, but only one turns a lost tooth into a big adventure. The box may be timeless—but a plush friend with a built-in pocket, an enchanting story, and a way to celebrate every single tooth? That’s a keepsake kids will remember, play with, and adore.
The Tooth Brigade makes the moment special now—and a memory forever.
Why the Tooth Brigade Stands Out
Our Tooth Brigade pillow isn’t just a keepsake—it’s an experience. Each one comes with:
-
A huggable plush character your child will love to snuggle
-
A bedtime storybook to build excitement and ease nerves
-
A tooth tracker to celebrate each little milestone
It’s more than a place to stash a tooth—it’s a way to celebrate growing up with joy, comfort, and just the right amount of magic.
Still deciding?
You can’t go wrong with love and a little imagination. But if you’re looking for something thoughtful, lasting, and ready to become part of your child’s bedtime story, the Tooth Brigade is ready to report for duty.
