Thank you,

I am the Mom of a 7 1/2 month old boy. When he was born we received a "taggie". This taggie has been our son's favorite since he was a month old. We do not leave the house without one. He loved to play with the tags and snuggle with his taggie. We have expanded our love to the plush ball, teether frog, books and apparel. My husband and i want to thank you for such fabulous products. I tell all my friends about your products, I can only hope they will check them out and enjoy them as much as we do. We will be customers for a long time!

Hi, Just received my order.
We have a special needs baby who by the way just turned five months
today. She got so excited with the things. She actually laughed
out loud when I showed her the rattle. She just cooed and smiled.
She loves the little dolly. Thank you so much. Guess I will have
to buy a back up rattle and little dolly for her.

We just received the
shipment of Taggies blankets and toys that you so graciously donated
to our organization. I cannot express how much this means to us,
as employees, and also to the families that we serve. Taggies Inc.
has allowed us to meet our children's developmental needs as well
as provide a sense of comfort to them. We are truly blessed by
organizations like yours. We look forward to sending you pictures
of our babies with their new blankets! Warmest regards,

Anabelle LOVES her Taggies blankie.
All mommies are experts, but you two are geniuses. Thank-you!

I wanted to let you know how much my
daughter lover her Little TAGGIES™ in the "hugs" pattern.
She received it as a Christmas gift when she was two months old.
She is now almost 14 months old, and Taggies is a life-saver! She
only sucks her thumb to soothe herself to sleep, and as far as
she knows, she can only suck her thumb if she's holding Taggies!
When I hand Taggies to her, her face lights up with a huge smile,
she grabs Taggies, and buries her face in it with a sigh of happiness.
I am now pregnant with my second baby, and as soon as I know the
sex, I will order a Little TAGGIES™ for him or her. I will
also order a Crib TAGGIES™ and Pillow TAGGIES™ in "hugs" when
my daughter moves out of her crib to make room for the new baby.
I'm sure a Taggies pillow and a Taggies the size of her new toddler
bed in the familiar pattern will be just what she needs to help
her transition to her new bed!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your products and
so does my now two-year-old son! We had many issues with
him when he was born (reflux, colic, you name it!), and as he grew,
so did his love for his Taggies! They were my saving grace! His
big TAGGIES™ (and I do have a back-up!) goes everywhere with
him – it’s really cute!
Katey
Love your products...like to give as baby gifts. My child, now
7, LOVES her Taggies blanket and pillow! I'm not sure she'll
ever part with them!
Lisa
Taggies are the best thing ever!
Debbie
My little guy loves his Taggies blanket and so do we (his parents).
We bought a back-up for home and one for daycare too. Now, it's
also THE baby shower gift that I give to expectant parents. Thanks.
Jill
My 2 daughters LOVE their Taggies and go NOWHERE without them!
We love your company and their products! Best invention ever!
Lyn
Love your product. Have purchased multiple blankets as gifts and
loved them so much I purchased a blanket, Take-A-Long, and Tuck-A-Way
TAGGIES™ for my infant daughter. Quality is excellent, shipping
is reasonable and reliable. Keep up the great work!
Lauren
I received this as a gift and as a new mother at first I thought "What
is
this"? Well, my 4 month old LOVES her blanket. She sleeps
with it and
travels with it and lets just say we take it EVERYWHERE! I recommend
to
any parent buy this for your child they will love it. I want to
buy her
one of everything they sell!!!
Jennifer
By they way, I have a Ph.D. in child development and when I had
my first child a year and a half ago, I went looking for a safe,
washable self-soothing object for my daughter to have when she
went to sleep. Her Taggies has been absolutely perfect for that!
No matter where we put her to sleep now whether it is at home or
in a new place, the Taggies brings her comfort and makes her feel
safe. And she just loves it! Her little face lights up when I give
her the Taggies at bedtime. Plus it helps her get back to sleep
in the middle of the night when she wakes up. When she first went
into daycare at 19 months, I bought her a new Taggies with her
name on it and it definitely helped with her transition there as
well at naptimes.
I highly, highly recommend Taggies!
Lisa - Minnesota
We thought it was time to thank you!!!!!!!!!
After looking for a gift for
someone else on redenvelope.com I happened to find your Taggies
blanket.. It was perfect....how did you know???......I ran to my
husband, who was trying to put our 3 month old to sleep...who was
clutching on to the "TAG" of his new Teddy Bear...Once
the little guy was asleep we ordered the blanklet asap. As a Physical
Therapist, I know the importance of tactile stimulation in young
childern, but I have never seen it work as well as I have with
Owen and his Taggies. (Now, almost 2 years old) He
sleeps with Taggies every night...we love this product more then
anything
in our home and thought
it was time to thank you...Thank you for
understanding young childrens needs...thank you for our Taggies.
Jen, Steve and Owen
Your product is FABULOUS! My two and a
half year old daughter had the
"Taggies" first. Now my 1 year old son has the "Taggies" and
loves it
even more. He will turn and turn the "Taggies" until
he finds his
favorite one and then rubs it under his nose and sniffs it over
and
over. It is hysterical! This is the baby gift that I will be getting
for every one of my friends! One recent weekend, we "lost" the
"Taggies" for over 24 hours. My son was lost, like he lost his best
little friend. It was so sad; luckily, it resurfaced. It has been
through some tough times and has seen better days, but the "Taggies" is
like another member of our family.
Heather
I have bought Taggies for friends before
and didn't notice your random acts of kindness section of your
website. I was on today purchasing a Taggies for my son (born
12 weeks prematurely) who is in a local NICU. My confirmation
talked about a "random act of kindness"...so I looked
around for it. I then saw the Linus Project on the list...my
son Max was lucky enough to get a hand made blanket "hug" from
a volunteer through them. Once I saw the list of organizations
you work with, I couldn't help myself...it's such a great thing
you are doing...I applaud you for working with such wonderful organizations!!
Melissa
I just finished working an urgent care
shift tonight and a mom brought in a Taggies with her son who I
saw for an ear infection. He was mezmerised by this thing! And
so was I! What a great idea! My wife just had her third
baby 10 weeks ago, and I made sure to write down your website address! I'm
thinking of buying one for our new son Jacob. How exciting! You
have my full support!! I know you're way out in Mass. but
it would be great to have you come talk to my residents and medical
students!
Timothy - California
We took our 4 year old and 6 month old
daughters to Borders Books last month. Our oldest picked
out a book for herself and I took the baby to pick one out afterwards. She
wasn't too thrilled with the regular board books but when she saw
the I Love You Taggies book she just about jumped out of my arms
to reach it. She hasn't put it down since that day. Thank
you for creating such wonderful items for babies and toddlers.
Amber - Pennsylvania
My 22 month old son loves his Taggies!
It has been his comfort item since infancy. He takes it everywhere
with him. Just the other day he was climbing playground equipment
with his Taggies clenched in his hand. Most of all, he likes
to hold his Taggies while sucking his thumb and then try to thread
his pinky finger (of the same hand) through one of the tags at
the same time (quite a task!). It always sooths and comforts
him. What a fantastic product! Thanks Taggies!
Cassi - Ohio
I have just brought my 6 month old daughter the Little TAGGIES™,
having seen them for the first time in an outlet in Devon UK. It
is fantastic, she has hardly put it down. We have been looking
for some sort of security blanket for a while and this just fits
the bill. Our friends have just had a little girl and I will definitely
be recommending them. Looking forward to seeing them in more UK
shops soon.

"My sister-in-law got my son a Taggies for his Christening
and it has not left his side since. He is now 2 and still
uses it every night for bed. My funny story of its amazing
comfort is when we went to The Home Depot one night and I left
his Taggies in the car (thinking I wouldn’t need it). While
we were in the store he was having a fit, wouldn’t stop crying
and fussing; so I ran out to the car and got his blanket, gave
it to him and he settled down immediately. It is an amazing
product and I am so thankful for you creating it. I love
the comfort and hours of play it has given my son. It is
an absolute must for a new baby gift."
Kristin – New Jersey
I recently heard of Taggies on the Internet. I visited your
website and bought a personalized ''Hugs" Big TAGGIES™ right
away! :) It really came in handy today when I took her for
her first set of immunization shots and I had (regrettably) forgotten
her pacifier...not only did both nurses and the doctor comment
on it, but afterward when I wrapped her up and held her, she actually
grabbed one of the tags and started sucking on it and immediately
stopped crying. It was so nice to see how comforting
it was to her. Thanks for such a WONDERFUL, adorable, colorful product. I
would recommend Taggies to anyone and definitely consider buying
more in the future, especially for gifts. Your Customer Service
and amazingly super-fast shipping was a bonus. Thanks
again Taggies! :)
Heather - Illinois
My mother noticed that my four-month-old son, Garrett loved the
tags on his toys. He would work very hard to get to a toy and then
play and or chew on the tag of the toy. We found the Big TAGGIES™ at
a specialty toy store. My son loves it! Right away he started to
search for his favorite tag. Would you believe that his favorite
is the Manufacturers tag!! Thank You,
Stefani - California
I have waited 3 years to send this so I could really make experienced
comments. I gave my 3.5 YO daughter, Emily, her first Taggies when
she was 6 months old. It has not left her side since then. Her
Taggies is her best friend and confidant. She plays with it when
she is happy and it soothes her when she is sad or tired. It is
truly a remarkable item. I have to ask if anyone has any insight
to a "habit" of Emily's. Every so often I have to buy
new Taggies because since day one she has taken to one specific
tag. When I buy a new Taggies I have to make sure this specific
tag is on it or she will not use it . Strange? Maybe not but definitely
amusing!!!!! Our local dealer makes sure she keeps a Taggies on
hand with the "right" Taggies.
To Julie and Danielle - BRILLIANT!!!! We both love them!!!!!!!
Kristy and Emily - Virginia
My 5 month old son loves his Taggies! It's just the right
size for him to play peek-a-boo with. He pulls it over his
face and then grabs one of the colorful tags and pulls it away! I
have found my "signature gift" for new babies!
Lynn - Nebraska
I must say that the development of that product was sheer genius. It
is almost universal that children go for those tags, or "silkies" as
my daughter, now 6, calls them....The day after receiving the mailing,
I stopped by my neighbor's house and what did I see but a Taggies
bunched up on her couch. I couldn't believe it....especially
since we live in a very rurally isolated area of Michigan's Upper
Peninsula. That amazed me...so the product has reached the
furthest stretches of the earth...

My 7 month old daughter, Avery, just loves her Taggies! She
has two other Taggies and just three weeks ago, I bought her the
Little TAGGIES™-she can't get enough of it. We went
out shopping today and I forgot it at home. That was a mistake! She
found the tag on her bib but it wasn't the same. Avery loves playing
with the loops of the tags, and sucking on them. When it's time
for her nap, I cradle her and put the Taggies in her arms. She
falls asleep with it either in her mouth or she's clutching it. She
loves it so much, I just ordered the complete bedding set! The
cost is high but her happiness is priceless. I had my "blankie" when
I was young and it was well loved. I know my daughter will
do the same with her Taggies.
I think it's a great gift also. There are so many different
patterns to choose from and the personalization is perfect. Keep
up the great work and I look forward to seeing more new products.
Dorris - Illinois
I love Taggies because of the great bright patterns of fleece-they
are so soft and cuddly. But what I like most about them is all
the different tags sizes, colors & shapes. I love how they
make the certain noise when I rub the fabric together. My friends
and I also love to get them for gifts. That is why I love Taggies.
Caroline age 8 - Massachusetts
My daughter Hannah has been in love with her Taggies blanket since
she was 6 months old. She loves tags!!!!! And now there are so
many to admire. One of her favorite games is playing peek-a-boo
with her Taggies and her doll. I used to buy baby afghans for all
of my friend's babies, but now I buy Taggies.
Amy - Illinois
When we received a Taggies as a gift for our newborn son 20 months
ago, we did not know what a buried treasure we had received. Approximately
one month ago, our son went to bed, unbeknownst to us, without
his Taggies. During the middle of the night he awoke and
in an attempt to get him back to sleep right away, my wife stated; "Where's
your Taggies?" When he frantically began searching his
crib for the Taggies and could not find it, he had a major meltdown. After
searching the entire house and car for a Taggies that we now know
was lost, we were on the Taggies website ordering another one with
overnight delivery. Your product is truly remarkable and
has become a gift of choice from us to our friends for their newborns. We
love them!!
Joe and Karen - Pennsylvania
What I love about Taggies is that they make a great gift. The
packaging is very attractive and people really appreciate getting
them. It's not just another stuffed animal or receiving blanket.
They look like new when thrown in the washer and dryer. Also, Taggies
are suitable for so many different ages. I just gave one to a college
aged baby-sitter. She loved it! Hey, who couldn't use a security
blanket from time to time.
Sheila - Mother of 5, Children's ICU Nurse -Massachusetts
I just love my Taggies. They are cuddly and help me go to sleep
at night. I especially like the green tag on my Taggies because
it has a nice sound when you rub it together.
Craig age 7 - New York
I bought my granddaughter a Big TAGGIES™ a few months ago.
Oh how she loves it! She sleeps on top of it, under it, cuddles
it under her arms. She loves to just sit on my lap and look and
feel all the tags. I was reading a parents magazine when I spotted
the ad for Taggies. How lucky I was to see it. I have told so many
people about it. I just ordered another one today for a friend's
granddaughter. I hope it will bring her as much joy and comfort
as it did my granddaughter. Thank you for a wonderful product!
Anne - Massachusetts
My name is Gretchen and I live in MD. I wanted to let you know
that my mother bought a Big TAGGIES™ for my 6 1/2 month old
daughter for Christmas and she is just OBSESSED with it! It is
her favorite thing in the world. My mother is an OT and when she
saw it she had to have it for Elizabeth and thought that some of
them would be good where she works as well. So you have come up
with something for babies as well as some MR clients of my mothers!
Just wanted to let you know that what you have created is wonderful,
Awesome idea! Thanks a bunch!
Gretchen and Elizabeth - Maryland
I was shopping today, and every time I showed my daughter a toy
to see if she liked it, she would be interested in the tag! Imagine
my delight when I found your product! What a great idea!! I know
my baby will just love it, and I can't wait to get it. Kudos to
your idea!
Michele - California
My daughter was given a Taggies as a gift from an Aunt and since
she was 2 months old I have put her to bed with it (after she would
fall asleep I took it away until she was about 6 months old). She
grabs it and flicks the tags until she falls asleep. I just ordered
her another one because I am scared that if we ever lost this she
would be heartbroken! So if you are giving a Taggies as a gift
think about getting two of the same - the parents will thank you
for it!
Jean - Connecticut
My daughter 6 month old Josie has had her Taggies blanket for
3 months now. It is always in her stroller and car seat. NOTHING
occupies her for longer than chewing on the ribbon tags. She received
her Taggies from a friend in Massachusetts who works in a children's
store who said they were SUCH a popular item and now we know why!
It is hot here in Florida and Taggies' size is perfect to give
Josie a comfort blanket without the heat of a regular size blanket.
I will DEFINITELY be buying Taggies for all my friends' babies!
Lynne and Josie - Florida
My friend and I were out with our daughters today (14 months and
9 months, respectively) and came upon some Big TAGGIES™ in
a baby store...since both of our daughters were about 5 months
old, they have had a fascination with tags ...what a great idea
-- I'm headed right now to the website to order my daughter two
Taggies. I know they'll be a hit!...Thanks for the great idea and
thanks for making us smile!
Martha - Georgia
My Son received his Taggies when he was about 6 months old and
has not put it down since (he is 20 months now). It was the greatest
gift ever given to him. He was obsessed with Tags on clothes, stuffed
animals and blankets, if it had a tag he found it. He could only
fall asleep if he had a tag to hold. His godmother knew this and
saw Taggies and had to have it for him. Everyone that sees it thinks
that it is a wonderful invention, God Bless you the designer, I
don't know how we would live without Taggies. ( It has to be snuck
into the wash and returned before my son knows it is missing!)
Mandy - New York
I bought my first Big TAGGIES™ today for my son who is 16
months. I always thought it was a little funny how he would search
for the tag on his thermal blanket before he laid down to sleep.
When I saw the Taggies display in the specialty store where I purchased
it, I just knew Cameron had to have it. I never dreamed other kids
did the same thing. What a wonderful idea you had to create such
a perfect blanket!! I can't wait to purchase it for another baby
because it will be unique. Good luck to you both and continued
success!!
Thank You!
Vicky- Pennsylvania
I'm writing to tell you how much my son loves his "SNIFFER".
That's what we call our Taggies. I bought the blanket at the FOXWOOD
CASINO in CT. as a gift for my son. Well, he can't go anywhere
without it. I even got my sister's baby's Taggies bought and she
didn't even have the baby yet. You make a great quality product.
Thank you for helping to put my son to sleep every night.
Wendy & Mark - Connecticut
About a month ago I noticed my 10 month old son started becoming
more interested in the tags on his stuffed animals and toys than
the toys themselves. I thought it was cute until I realized they
were getting dirty and a lot of his stuff couldn't be washed. Yesterday
I was shopping and saw the Taggies products. I was sooo happy when
I saw they could be washed, I bought a Take-A-Long TAGGIES™ and
a Big TAGGIES™. My son loves them already! Thank you for
making something so wonderful and practical!
Jessica - Seattle
I have 2 daughters, my oldest one has loved tags since she was
born. She sucks her thumb and holds on to any tag no matter what
it is attached to. My whole family thought this was the funniest
thing. When my sister bought her a Taggies and sent it to her for
her birthday I couldn't believe my eyes, it was like it was made
just for her. Little did I know that the only one she will hold
is the actual Taggies tag. She turns it until she finds that one.
My sister just bought one for my youngest daughter, she is a blanket
girl and just loves the little TAGGIES™. Thanks for starting
a great product. They are definitely a conversation piece with
people who have never seen them before.
Lana - New York
I purchased a Taggies for a friend and everytime she sees me she
has to tell me what a great gift I gave her son. He will not put
it down. I have gone on to purchase them for all my friends including
my own child. I am a Kindergarten teacher and I know the importance
of sensory toys in a child's life. This is a GREAT item. I have
seen very few items have such a grand impact on a child. Thanks
for the great invention. My child simply loves it!
Maria - Minnesota
I just had to write to tell you how thankful we are for my 2 year
old son's Taggies! His blue "tags" has been his favorite
thing since he was less than 6 months old. It is a sure source
of comfort and entertainment. For nearly 18 months, he has taken
Tags to bed every night, and every night he goes to sleep running
his fingers over the tags. We now have 3 blankets (interchangeable,
for daycare, car, and home) and a pillow, and I have bought several
additional Taggies for baby shower gifts. What a wonderful product!
Thank you so much!
Jennifer - Michigan
My son was born on 3/25/02 and I received a Taggies from his grandmother,
my mother.It is hands down the cutest, softest and most adorable
blanket I have ever seen. I have now purchased many for my pregnant
friends. What a great idea! Keep up the good work.
Amy - Massachusetts
Hi! I just wanted you to know that my 7 month old daughter Olivia
loves her Taggies blanket. (It was a Christmas gift from her MiMi.)
That blanket is in Olivia's crib every resting and sleeping moment...she
is just fascinated by those tags. Thanks, ladies, for such a wonderfully
simple invention! Friends of mine in Sweden have recently had a
baby girl; our gift to her...one large Taggies blanket!
Ann - Pennsylvania
What a great, great idea! Just bought my 8 month old son his very
own Taggies and I can't wait to get home to give it to him. He
seems to find the tag on any stuffed animal, toy or blanket we
have so I know the Taggies is going to be a hit. I'm going to buy
them for all my pregnant friends! Kudos to you both for coming
up with a simple yet fantastic product idea!
Anne - Connecticut
I bought my 6 month old granddaughter a Little TAGGIES™.
From the first minute she picked it up and tried out each tag in
her mouth she hums and "sings" EVERY time she has it.
It is so comical for all of us to watch. We started calling it
her "musical" blanket! Guess I'd better get a spare!!!
Judy - Tennessee
I first heard of your website through my mommy board on ivillage.com.
My 9 month old LOVES anything with a tag. So- I ordered a small
Taggies for him and it came today. I gave it to him and his little
eyes lit up and he smiled widely and giggled.....it was PRICELESS!!!!!
He hasn't put it down since. Thank you so much for such a wonderful
gift, and for the great Taggies. I now know where I will be purchasing
all my baby shower gifts!!!!! There is nothing like a child's smile
to make your day!!!!
Connor - New Jersey
My daughter, Abby, loves her Taggies. She didn't really have a "comfort" item.
When her Grammy gave it to her, she immediately clutched it to
her and began using her little fingertip to play with each tag.
She never gets tired of it and it is now her security blanket!
Taggies gives her "permission" to fall asleep and has
become a sleepy Mommy's best friend! I'm buying Taggies as baby
shower gifts for everyone!!
Liz - Virginia
I would like to thank you for not only creating the best product
around for my 2 little ones (I don't think they will ever give
up their Taggies) ...BUT, you have made 1 of my best friends very
happy! She is a 35 year old who just had cancer surgery, and has
been wanting a Taggies for a long time. She could never seem to
purchase one because the store that carries them can't keep them
on the shelf for longer than a minute. Well, one of her good friends
ordered 1 for her online and hand-delivered it to her in her hospital
room!!! You should have seen her eyes light up when she saw it.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making her so happy. She is
going home today and is well on her way to recovery ...we are all
sure she feels better so quickly because she has the comfort and
security of her Taggies. Warmest Regards,
Jeanine - New York
A friend of mine was visiting yesterday and told me about the
Taggies blanket she saw ... I was IMMEDIATELY excited because my
son ADORES tags; he could see a gigantic toy and the only thing
that would interest him about it is the tiny tag on it. I
truly CAN'T WAIT to get this for him. I called around to
stores in the area and will be running out to get one. What
a truly WONDERFUL idea.
Amber - Connecticut
I write from London, England to let you know how much my son,
Isaac, (now nearly six months) loves his Taggies, which was sent
to me by a friend in the U.S. I just went in to check that he was
asleep and he has his Taggies draped over his head (sometimes when
I go in he is cuddling it). When awake, he likes to thread his
fingers through the loops.
Roanne - London, England
I was given a Taggies as a shower gift a week after my son was
born. It was used the very first day I got it just to keep
him warm and toasty. He was about 2 months old when he first
showed an interest in the tags. Now at 6 months, his Taggies
keeps him occupied for hours. What a terrific concept!
Megan - Massachusetts
My son was given a Taggies when he was only a peanut. Once
he was born and learned that his Taggies could soothe his need
to cuddle, he won't leave home without it. We have Taggies
for the car, daycare and home. Once an outfit had a tag in
the front and he spent all day trying to put the tag in his mouth! Taggies
are the best. I always worried he'd get attached to a blanket
like the Peanuts character - now I don't mind - at least his is
only a 1 foot square. Hopefully, when he goes on a date
his girl friend won't notice it in his pocket! Thanks for
making my life simpler! I give Taggies as gifts to everyone
I know!
Marsha - Pennsylvania
I just wanted to let you know how much my 14 month old daughter
loves her Taggies. It is her bed time pal and helps her feel better
when she is upset. It has gotten to the point now that it is hard
for me to get it from her to wash it. That is why I am going to
order another one for her.
Recently I ordered one for the daughter of a lady I work with.
Her daughter is due with their first grandchild in November. I
guess it was the hit of the shower. I just feel that every baby
should have a Taggies of their own. Thank you for such a wonderful
product.
Karine
My son received his Taggies as a gift, when he was 9 months old. On
this day we were going home. This was our son's second time
on a plane. We were delayed in the airport and he napped
off and on with the Taggies. When we got home at 2 am he
thought it was time to play. The only thing that helped him
relax and fall asleep was his Taggies. From that night on he has
not slept without it. He cannot fall asleep without it. It
is the sweetest thing. He snuggles with it and just drifts
off.
I think this is truly the best gift he received. It is such a
wonderful idea. My husband and I think it is excellent. We
have told all of our friends about it. It is even My number
one choice for a baby gift!
Deanna - Virginia
I just wanted to send you a quick followup to tell you how successful
the "Taggies Program" has been at Duke Children's. We
were having a terrible time with one little boy who is 2 years
old and is getting ready to spend his second consecutive Christmas
at Duke. He has a very rare and life-threatening disease that is
similar to the "Boy in the Plastic Bubble" movie. He
cannot come out of his room at all for risk of infection. As you
can imagine the little boy was getting pretty stir crazy. He was
grabbing at his IV poles and tubing and the staff had to place
a sheet over everything so that he wouldn't pull his lines out.
We gave him a Taggies and he adores it. He now plays with it rather
than his lines.
On another note....we have a tiny little girl who is in for a
bone marrow transplant. We have a Taggies as a back up for her
beloved blanket. She has since tossed her regular blanket and now
spends all of her time playing with or sucking on the Taggies.Thanks
so much for everything you have done for us
Michelle - Duke Children's Hospital
Our 10 month old son, Ryan, has loved the tags on his
toys. This fascinated us because we have never seen another
child do this before. We just had to bring him to the
emergency room and in my rush I forgot to grab any of his "tag
toys". We used his pajama sleeper in emergency to keep
him satisfied. He was admitted to the hospital for a two
day stay and we decided to go to the gift shop to find him a toy
with a tag to comfort him. I was so shocked to see "Taggies". I'm
very paranoid about putting a blanket to bed with him and was so
thrilled to see the Take-A-Long TAGGIES™. It is absolutely
PERFECT! It's the perfect size for him to hold and he liked
to make "music" by running the plastic teething clip
along the metal crib rails. It gave us such a wonderful feeling
to see the comfort he felt when we handed it to him. He instantly
grabbed the tags and stuck his thumb in his mouth. It really
was a blessing to find it at a time that he needed so much comfort
and security. I will never forget how at ease he looked when
he would hold his Taggies as we paced the halls. I truly
believe that it helped him relax. Thank you for making such
a wonderful friend for our special little boy. It helped
us all through a difficult time.

I received two Little TAGGIES™ as a gift for my twin daughters
born this year... It turns out that one of my daughters, Olivia
has been quite ill and until a month ago had spent most of her
life in the hospital. The Little TAGGIES™ accompanied us
throughout our adventures - in ambulances, intensive care, and
as far as allowed into the operating room. Until recently it served
to cover her and keep her warm in chilly hospitals, but I'm happy
to report that it is no longer an ample cover for her since she
is finally growing!!
One of Olivia's surgeries involved putting a tube into her stomach
to feed her and she has been allowed nothing by mouth since August.
Her Little TAGGIES™ has become an important part of her speech
and physical therapy. Much of this therapy is aimed at desensitizing
her mouth to different textures since she doesn't eat by mouth
(but soon will). She is encouraged to put things in her mouth and
the Little TAGGIES™ works beautifully for that purpose. Not
to worry, it gets washed a lot and comes through beautifully every
time! It has been a great help to us and may be to many people
to come as the therapists are very intrigued by it. Thank you so
much for your amazing creativity. It has benefitted our family
tremendously.

My 6 1/2 month old has loved his Taggies blankie so much since
he was able to use his hands around 3 months. I had gotten
the gift for my baby shower and nobody had seen such a thing. They
all thought it was a really neat idea. I had to get another
one just in case my son misplaces his Taggies. I wouldn't
want to know how he'd be without his Taggies. Thanks for
the great invention!

This is why I love Taggies:
For a long time I had something that I called Taggies. They
are my favorite thing to sleep with. One day my Aunt
and I were shopping at Geppetto's in San Diego, CA and we saw a basket
filled with Taggies! I couldn't believe my eyes! They
were actually selling my favorite thing. Of course we bought
some. Now I take them wherever I go. I love my new
Taggies. Thank you for making these wonderful Taggies. And
that's why I love Taggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You,
