Tooth Fairy Bags by Spotted Lizard Prints: Adding Magic, Memories, and Personalisation to Childhood Milestones
Losing a first tooth is one of childhood’s most exciting milestones. It marks a moment of growing up, a tiny step between early childhood and becoming a “big kid,” and, of course, the beginning of magical night time visits from the Tooth Fairy. As parents, we cherish these moments — the wobbly tooth, the excitement before bedtime, the sparkle in their eyes the next morning. At Spotted Lizard Prints, we believe these little milestones deserve to be celebrated in a big way. That’s exactly why our personalised Tooth Fairy Bags have become one of our most loved products.
Designed, printed, and hand-finished in our Stafford workshop, these charming Tooth Fairy Bags help create magical memories your child will treasure for years. Whether this is your child’s very first lost tooth or one of many, a personalised bag transforms the tradition into something even more special — something that belongs entirely to them.
In this blog, we’ll explore what makes our Tooth Fairy Bags so unique, share fun facts about the Tooth Fairy tradition from around the world, and introduce you to the heart and values behind Spotted Lizard Prints. You’ll learn why parents everywhere trust us for high-quality, personalised keepsakes, and why a Tooth Fairy Bag might be the perfect next gift for your child.

🎁 A Gift That Creates Lasting Memories

The Magic Behind the Myth: Fascinating Facts About the Tooth Fairy
Most of us grew up with the delightful idea that a tiny fairy visits while we sleep, taking our lost tooth in exchange for a coin or small treat. But the history of the Tooth Fairy is richer and more varied than many people realise.
Here are some fascinating tooth-related customs from around the world, as well as fun facts about the tradition.
🌟 Does the Tooth Fairy Have a Gender?
In modern Western culture, the Tooth Fairy is almost always portrayed as a small, winged female fairy. But the truth is much more varied:
- In some cultures, the Tooth Fairy is male.
- In others, the tooth collector is an animal, a friendly creature, or even a magical being without a defined gender.
- The earliest European tales often featured mice as the creatures who collected children’s teeth.
In Spain and many Latin American countries, rather than a fairy, children wait for “El Ratón Pérez,” a clever little mouse who leaves gifts in exchange for lost teeth. In France and Belgium, a similar mouse called “La Petite Souris” (The Little Mouse) collects teeth during the night.
The idea is surprisingly universal: something magical comes in the night, takes the tooth, and leaves a reward — but the form that magic takes can change from place to place.
🏰 The Origins of the Tooth Fairy Tradition
The Tooth Fairy we know today can trace its roots back to European medieval folklore. In the Middle Ages, baby teeth were believed to contain magical properties. Parents often buried the teeth, burned them, or kept them safe to protect their children from bad luck or evil spirits.
Other fascinating origins include:
- Vikings believed children’s teeth brought good luck in battle — warriors sometimes wore them as charms.
- In some areas, parents buried teeth to ensure children would be blessed with strong adult teeth.
- Early European societies believed witches could gain power over someone by collecting their teeth, so parents kept or buried the teeth to keep them safe.
Over centuries, these rituals evolved into what we now know as the Tooth Fairy tradition: a gentle, comforting way to celebrate growing up.
🌍 Tooth Traditions Around the World
Not every culture has a Tooth Fairy — but almost all societies celebrate the loss of baby teeth in some special way.
Here are some charming global traditions:
🇯🇵 Japan
Children throw their lower teeth onto the roof and their upper teeth under the house. This is believed to help the new teeth grow straight and strong.
🇬🇷 Greece
Kids throw their teeth on the roof and make a wish for healthy adult teeth.
🇹🇷 Turkey
Teeth are sometimes buried in symbolic locations, such as near a school, garden, or mosque — representing hopes for the child’s future.
🇪🇬 Egypt
Children throw their baby teeth toward the sun to honour and encourage growth.
🇿🇦 South Africa
Kids leave their lost teeth in slippers, and a mouse collects them overnight.
Despite the differences, one thing is universal: losing a tooth is a celebration.
📱 Modern-Day Tooth Fairy Trends
While the magic remains the same, parents today have added a sprinkle of modern creativity — and sometimes technology — to the tradition.
Some popular trends include:
✨ Tooth Fairy Pillows and Boxes
Special cushions or tiny boxes make it easy to store the tooth and the Tooth Fairy’s reward. Our personalised Tooth Fairy Bags fit seamlessly into this trend and add the extra charm of customisation.
📲 Tooth Fairy Tracking Apps
Digital apps allow parents to:
- Create photos showing the Tooth Fairy inside their child’s room
- Leave fairy “footprints”
- Generate certificates for lost teeth
- Write magical notes
These modern touches make the experience unforgettable.
💌 Special Letters or Certificates
Many parents leave:
- Mini “official” Tooth Fairy certificates
- Glittery notes
- Fairy receipts
These small touches help build the memory into something magical and meaningful.
