Sophie the Giraffe is 50!

I love Sophie the Giraffe. She's just so cute. And she is - according to The Guardian - "the baby accessory du jour".

The squeaky teether has been produced by Vulli, a company based in the Haute-Savoie region of France, since 1961 - making her 50 this year. And in this time, she's remained utterly unchanged, her retro style being part of her charm (along with, I assume, her cheery expression!)

She's hand-made from natural rubber and non-toxic paint and over 30 million Sophies have now been sold. You can find her at Born Gifted with free delivery.
