The Flitter Fairies have arrived!
These fantastical toys magically fly around you with their enchanted flapping wings. You simply guide your fairy around with your very own magic wand! There are currently three fairy sisters in the collection, Eva, the ‘Fairy of Compassion’, Daria, the ‘Fairy of Protection’ and Alexa, ‘Fairy of Inspiration’. The creators of Flitter Faeries told FAE, “Luckily for us believers, Flitter Fairies have chosen to slip from their realm slightly above time into the human realm of ‘timefulness’. Their deepest wish is to inspire humans to take better care of the natural world. Each Flitter Fairy seeks to bond with a human friend who shares her most important trait such as compassion, protection or inspiration.”
