Dear Teri,

Thank you for getting my order out so quickly. We lost one of our "blankies" while on vacation. We needed to get an extra as a back up. We no longer have a "blankie" emergency. I am so thankful for your wonderful website and easy ordering. I love shopping Beverly Hills while sitting in my office in Illinois. Lol :)

Have a great day!
Holly Kretekos :)

You have exceeded our expectations. I can tell you that all of our family felt the presence of Jonathan through this gift. I can't find the words to express my gratitude to you for making this happen for us. Haley is doing well. She weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces at birth and at 30 days she is now 9 pounds and 5 ounces. She has Jonathan's olive skin as well as his eyes, mouth and chin. She is really a gift for our family.
Please continue to stay in contact and we plan to have her pictures made in November......You are on my list.
Much appreciation to a true friend that I've never met personally

I can tell that your establishment provides an extra caring touch. A rare commodity these days! I very much appreciate the extra effort at this busy time. We are big fans of beautiful Carolle dolls and I am thrilled that Ariel (my "elegant child") will have this special cute ballerina. Look forward to doing more business with The Elegant Child.

Thank-you for all the very personalized service you have given me. It was important to me to get a nice gift to my friend Karen and her new baby boy Jack and to also recognize Charlotte, the 3-year old. Since we have been out of the country for 3-weeks and I was immediately in a training class after returning home, I had no time during the business day to get these gifts bought and sent to my friend. With your website store, I was able to get everything I needed and even nicer gifts than I probably could have found at a store in my neighborhood. You are wonderful! I will use your services again, I am certain.

This is the third throw I have ordered from you. The others have been for girls. I really stuggled with this one. I like an elegant look so I ended up with the hearts, but I LOVE the idea of just the name and date! Let's go with just the name and date. Thank you again for your personal service. I have become a loyalcustomer.

You are too much! Thanks for the heads up and the extra care, you are wonderful!!. I just know my daughter is going to love the buggy - I will send along a picture. It's been a pleasure doing business with you.

I just got the lovely note and receipt from you guys in the mail; thank you very much! I appreciate you getting in touch.

Thanks also for sending the photo of the finished album - it looks very cute and it was exactly what we were looking for! I will be sure to keep you in mind in the future when buying baby gifts - you have gorgeous stuff and you clearly understand how to provide good customer service.

The pillow just arrived. It's beautiful! I'll have to wait to hear the music until our friend opens the lovely wrapping. It's been a pleasure doing business with you. You run a top-notch company -- extremely customer-oriented and responsive. Everything about my experience with Elegant Child -- from start to finish -- has been superb. It's so refreshing to work with someone who delivers exactly what they promise when they promise it. Congratulations to you and your team. I can't wait until I need another special children's gift! Now, I know exactly where to come. Thanks, again!

I gave the gift to the parents to be today. To say they were thrilled would be an understatement. My daughter in law was taking the box to work with her tomorrow. She is so pleased with the blanket and it is so much nicer than I imagined from the picture on the internet. I cannot thank you enough for the care you put into putting this together for me. We will keep in touch. I would love to get the sweater and cap in the next size as the baby grows.

I received my blanket order last week, thank-you so much. The store I originally bought my girls' blankets from stopped carrying them so I got online (the internet is so great!). The girls picked out their blankets this time (they are 4) and they thought that was the coolest. Anyway, I got a hand-written note from Anna with the order, a very personal touch, I appreciate that. I passed it around my office and everyone was very impressed. I will order from you again and I'm sure you've gained a few around here too. Thanks again.

Thank you so much - I have enjoyed doing business with you both times (last time was probably 2-3 years ago!). You have fantastic customer service! We love these blankets - my kids 6 and 4 years old still love theirs.

I talked with the Sweeney's almost the day after I talked with you. They were so delighted with the pillow. They said it was their very favorite gift. I sure will use you again as soon as my twins are born. My son and daughter-in-law are expecting twins in November. Thank you for your excellent service. It was a pleasure!!!!

Our e-mails must have crossed. I just sent you an e-mail to let you know it arrived and how delighted I am with Elegant Child. I'm in the marketing field, and I think your company would serve as a great model for how companies should be run. Things like the personalized note that came with the pillow, the organized billing info, and your unending responsiveness really demonstrate that you care about your customers. What else can I say? You and your team are terrific! Thank you.

Hi, Teri... I just received my package and I couldn't be happier!!! I have to admit when I first found out about Sophie through Allies Angels, I was a bit gun-shy of spending $20 on a baby teething toy. But I really wanted to get something to commemorate how Allie and her story have touched my life. A story I hope to share with my daughter later. I was so excited today when I received my package... just two days after you processed my order!!! Incredible... anyway, I have to say I was *very* impressed!!! She is soooo soft and loveable!!! I had a hard time putting her down. My 7 month old was there and started fussing to play with her, but I put her up until Christmas... it was hard though!!! Even my 2 year old wanted to play with Sophie!!! And I have to say she makes the cutest sound. She was really well worth the $20. And your service has been WONDERFUL!!! The doll itself, was adorable as well. So soft and cuddly.. I wish I had gotten one for her blessing. All in all it was GREAT experience and I am very, *very* happy!!!

We received it Saturday. It is beautiful. You do wonderful work and the wrapping was so nice I'm going to give it as is. Thank you also for the handwritten note enclosed in the box. Your company is obviously first class in quality and service. I will keep your info for future purchases.

After all of our very carrying efforts to have the "perfect gift" and your more than to be expected emails; just had to let you know the final act in this scenario. You were absolutely right. She was so thrilled with the eyelet pillow and I am so very thankful for your caring enough to discuss with me the pros and cons of another selection. My son and daughter-in-law are having a dinner party tonight and she can hardly wait to show them the pillow. You will probably be receiving several viewers and orders from Monterey. I hope so!!

Thanks for your great bathrobes! I just ordered my second bathrobe from you on line. My daughter has severe eczema and can only wear 100% cotton bathrobes. I found your product on line and she has loved your bathrobe for years. The bathrobe was both comfortable and was long lasting. She now needs a bigger size. Thanks for a great product. FYI. You need to register your site on several more search engines. It was difficult to find you on line this time. There is a market niche for your all cotton bathrobes online.

The gifts look great!!
Thanks so much for all of your help. I am so impressed with how you handled the order and your attention to detail. You can be sure that I'll be spreading the word about your store (as well as doing some furture shopping myself). Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to hearing from my cousin when she receives the monogrammed batrobes.

Megan and Teri- I just looked at the picture that you sent me and all I can say is WOW! The work that you guys do is just phenominal, fantastic and beautiful. I cannot wait to see them in person. Thank you once again for all your help and ideas. I will be sure to send back pictures of the blankees with their "owners." I plan on referring your store to EVERY person I know who is having kids from now on, you guys are great.

My girlfriend just had a healthy baby boy, James. When I went to the hospital to see her everyone there raved about the gift I sent from Elegant Child. They all wanted to know where I had gotten it. I was so happy! I have several other friends due this summer. If you remember what I ordered would you please let me know so I can be sure to send it again. I think you talked me into doing the jacket with booties¡not sure. Thanks again!
Take care,

Actually what attracted me was the fact that I was on the road last night and heard you talking on the radio about your company and I was very impressed by what was said . I like that fact that you like to give back to the community. My heart went out to the nine month old and her mother and I like that fact that you are not greedy. It is all about money nowadays and not enough helping and compassion. I just wanted to let you know that you are a star in my eye and although I can not have any more children, I will save your site in my favorites to get special gifts for others with children and I will make sure my friends see your site. I will say that this is the closest I have gotten to California ever in my life since I am from NJ and every time I plan a trip I am too busy to go. Last time I planned a trip to Beverly Hills with my sister and it was the day the President declared war..lol.. Go Figure that one out... Anyways, I also like the fact that you remember the little people that do not have much money to spend as well and make it affordable for them to shop as well.

The blanket is absolutely beautiful! I can't tell you how pleased I am with the service I've received from elegant child thus far. 'Tis the season for babies - my best friend gave birth to a baby boy this week and my first nephew is due in February. You will certainly be rec'ving additional orders from me in the very near future (as well as a few referrals! I've been bragging about you to my friends/family). Thanks again for your wonderful service and great products!

the product i purchased from you has exceeded expectations! the beloved "sophie" was immediately of interest to my 6month old grandaughter. upon much inspection it became her favorite item to put into her mouth. she handled it easily and spent much time rubbing it on her gums. i was visiting and staying at my grandaughter's house (in wa state) and i can tell you that sophie was nearby during all her awake hours! this item was everything you said it would be. i'm sending the only photo i have of them together, wish i had more. thank you so much for offering this item. and thank the indianapolis star newspaper for talking about it shortly before Christmas. please add my name to your email list if you have one. i'm sure you will have other items of interest for me in the future. by the way, Kiran's mom and dad (my son) are very health conscious vegetarians and they were impressed with the safe quality of the product. thanks from a new happy customer in indiana!

Holy cow! I just received my package from you. That was incredibly fast. Thank you again. I will make sure to remember you for my online baby shopping and will definitely tell my friends.

I have to tell you how we LOVE these robes. This choice is a huge hit! Thank you so very much for sending the photo!!

The blanket looks great! The new parents love it as well as the grandparents (my friends). I will definitely recommend your website to anyone who is looking for a lovely heirloom gift. Thanks again for your help...I really appreciated your suggestions.

I had the wonderful opportunity to order an heirloom doll and photo album from Teri for my granddaughter's baptism. I was very satisfied with the craftsmanship and customer service I received. In fact, my order was a quick turn-around, but Teri worked with me as if it were her own grandbaby's baptism. I would definitely recommend The Elegant Child to my friends and co-workers. Thanks Teri.
