After spending most of my adult life in the development of emotion-based products for Hallmark, The Franklin Mint, and Enesco, I decided that I wanted to bring fun and innovative children's products to the marketplace that are truly something special. Thinking back over the years with my own three children, I realized that there is nothing so wonderful as to see the look of sheer delight on a child's face when they've discovered something new and unexpected! The name of our company comes from a lesson I learned about creating products that will touch people's lives. Anyone can produce a product that is exactly what it appears to be. I want to take that a step further and create products that allow children to discover the "unexpected"!
