These would make great gifts for grownups too – my daughter received the Fairy one, but they have so many beautiful designs!

Unfortunately, he did not get the baby brother from Santa that he requested but rather a baby sister the following year. He did not seem to be too disappointed. He also likes to make up fairy tales or songs that I write down for him. They are so cute. They are usually about about his toys but at least they get his creative juices flowing.

He doesn't know when (or if) he'll get them, but it's always fun to see his reaction when he gets something he asked for!

I contacted them and while it's not currently available on their web site, my interest has galvanized them to get it back up -- she'll send me a link when it's back up and I'll post it here as a comment. Meanwhile, you can certainly contact them directly. Though only the wish fairies are technically supposed to know what she's written on the little pieces of paper in her wish clip, I did exert my executive/parental privilege and take a peek: and I will tell you that not everything she's wished for has been a "thing" -- and some of the non-thing things she's wished for have nearly made me cry. You will thoroughly enjoy this experience if you institute it in your own home!
