Jordan’s Toybox

Vintage Toys

Before my Small Fry was even born (and this is back when Joy & I were just dating), I bought several vintage toys for him on eBay – Toys that I used to enjoy in my childhood, or the ones I’ve always wanted. I remember lots of imaginative play with those toys and I wish that many of those toys had been saved. I remember my mom buying them for me for $5 or less and they are now worth up to hundreds of dollars. I really wish I didn’t blow up my G.I Joe toys with fireworks! I missed them and wanted Jordan to enjoy what I had played with when I was a child. More

Sophie the Giraffe

I discovered Sophie the giraffe by Vulli while browsing baby stuff online. Sophie is made in France with natural rubber and food grade paint. For $24, it’s bit pricey for a teether, but well worth every penny knowing that my son will not be subject to potentially dangerous teethers from China.

When I ordered this toy, I had no idea the background behind it.  Reading how and when it was developed and how long it has been in production, I was pleasantly surpised! More
