<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">September is here....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For families with school-age children, that means: back to school! It can feel exciting or scary or both!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For new parents it can be that new stage of leaving Baby in a nursery or kindergarten or other daycare facilities. From personal experience that is more scary and tough than exciting!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Parents are usually told to bring "the essentials" to the "gan" such as diapers, wipes, ointment, pacifier, blankets and favorite toy... Recently I met a few parents who told me Sophie the giraffe" was the favorite toy. That simply put a smile on my face!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And this past week, we all found out that Sophie la Girafe got more awards after being selected by parents in the US, in Singapore, in Malaysia... Earlier in the year it was in Australia, and I am sure I am forgetting others! 2017 has been so far a fantastic year for Sophie la girafe worldwide, being recognized for her quality both as a development Toy and as a teether. Bravo Vulli! Bravo Sophie!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and a huge thank you to all the parents, friends and families who put their trust in Sophie la girafe!</span><br />

<br />
It always starts slow..June..July.... and suddenly we are at the end of August! Just like that!<br />
<br />
It is true that this July we were busy with a new shipment. that means new toys! ^_^ Always fun! yes! even for the grown-ups!<br />
<br />
We particularly fell in love with the <a href="http://www.sofi-hagirafa.co.il/products/fun-in-the-bath-sophie-la-girafe/sophie-la-girafe-so-pure-bath-toy" target="_blank">new Sophie the giraffe for the bath.</a>. It has been on the market for the past couple of years and slowly but surely this bath toy is finding its place.<br />
<br />
<b>Here is what we like about it:</b><br />
<br />
* Just like the original Sophie the Giraffe, this healthy toy is made from 100% natural rubber, derived from rubber tree sap, and decorated with food grade paints.<br />
<br />
* She floats! She is completely waterproof ensuring optimal drying.<br />
<br />
* Shaped like a buoy with the cute face of Sophie la girafe, it is easy for little hands to grab and to chew safely on it!<br />
<br />
* As with the rest of the So' Pure range, Sophie the giraffe for the bath comes in an attractive gift box made from recyclable materials.<br />
<br />
<br />
What more is there to ask! 😃<br />
<br />
A picture you say? yes..of course... here it is!<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tomorrow is October 31st, 2011- A day with a connotation to Death and Spirits... celebrated in various ways in many countries...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just to give you an idea, here are a few:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mexico and the Hispanic communities in the US have "</span><a href="http://www.azcentral.com/ent/dead/"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">El <strong>Dia de los Muertos"</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">, </span><span style="color: black;">a ritual to mock death.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: black;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">France has la Toussaint, <strong>All Saints' Day</strong>, when people take flowers to the graves of dead relatives. It is also done all over Europe and the US...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">But October 31st is also...</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><a href="http://projectbritain.com/Halloween/history.htm"><strong><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hallowe'en</span></strong></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> !!!!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hallowe'en is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of </span><a href="http://www.history.com/topics/halloween"><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Samhain</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">,<em> (</em><em>Samhain signifies "summer's end")</em> when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nowadays, </span><a href="http://www.history.com/topics/halloween"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hallowe'en</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> evolved into a secular, community-based event, characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. Many communities around the world started marking the night of the holiday... (After all, it is also a profitable business...)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hallowe'en does not exist in Israel. Some say that "</span><a href="http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday9.htm"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Purim</span></strong></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">" is the equivalent... but without the trick-or-treat part.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Purim is a day where children go to school all excited and dressed up. It is one of the most joyous and fun holidays in the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jews living in Persia were saved from extermination. Parades and parties everywhere... candies too, of course...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Purim usually takes place in March... so until it arrives, Sofi Hagirafa is having a virtual Hallowe'en, just for the fun of it because Hallowe'en is fun!,</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And for fun facts about this night,do not be frightened... ;) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://projectbritain.com/Halloween/facts.htm"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong> Click here! </strong></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><a href="http://projectbritain.com/Halloween/facts.htm">Here!</a></strong></span><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong> </strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://projectbritain.com/Halloween/facts.htm"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Here!</strong></span></a></div><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For most of us it is back to school, to work, to routines and activities, a bit more stress with new and old challenges...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">50 rentrées already for Sofi HaGirafa and not much has changed besides a few "plastic improvements" on her silhouette over the years....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Therefore Sofi HaGirafa wishes everyone a "<strong><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;">Bonne rentrée</span></strong> " whichever it may be! Take time to breath and chew the giraffe!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><strong>and too many more !!!!!!!</strong></span></div><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the last week of May (on the 25th, more precisely), the Vulli Family celebrated Sophie The Giraffe's 50th birthday in style, and as the Vulli agent for Israel, I was there... and stayed to visit family.... hence this late post!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So let me tell you what happened: It started with a trip on the Bateaux Mouches.... followed by lunch in a typical French Brasserie with a 4-course French-style lunch (or was it 5-course?).... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Right after lunch, as there was no time to waste, we had the first ever international convention of Sophie La Girafe, with about 30 countries represented. It was an amazing experience! Lots of pictures and videos were taken... ( the few pix I took can be seen at the end of this post)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Later in the evening everybody was dressed up, and the weather was lovely... the Sophie art pieces (</span><a href="http://bit.ly/SimplyClickHere"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">some can</span><span style="color: orange;"> be seen here</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: orange;">)</span> were auctioned for charity. A total of 83,300 euros were raised for the Gustave Roussy Foundation for cancer research in babies and children. It was very heart-warming!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The auction was followed by an aperitif-cocktail (finger food), and drinks with music and dancing!</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">NB: Vulli offered us this unique and exclusive gift of 2 giraffes:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surprised to see me again? A happy surprise I hope?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, I know I wrote a goodbye post, but then I realized this blog is not completely done...it's just an "on-hold" Blog.... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In such troubled, tragic, and horrific times our little planet is going through... be it in the region or a bit further away in Japan, I wished everyone a happy Purim, one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">But for those of you looking to help our Japanese friends, do not hesitate to go to</span><br />
<a href="https://www.paypal-donations.com/pp-charity/web.us/campaign.jsp?cid=-12"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">https://www.paypal-donations.com/pp-charity/web.us/campaign.jsp?cid=-12</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also wanted to let you know about a great article on The Slate, written b</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">y Josh Levin:</span> " <em>I'm French, Chew on Me; Sophie the Giraffe, the European teething toy that's sweeping America.</em></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #a2c4c9;"><em>"</em></span> You gotta love the title... ^__^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Besides the history and presentation of our beloved Sofi, Josh Levin writes that Sophie la Girafe has become the success she is by word of mouth. This has also been confirmed by blogger <span style="color: #a2c4c9;">Jennifer Rabulan-Bertram</span> on " </span><a href="http://nextkidthing.com/?p=5140"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Next Kid Thing</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">". Sofi HaGirafa has proven time and time again how effective and safe she is, and for helpless parents of a teething baby, this is worth everything!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel that this blog has finished its cycle and has hopefully achieved its purpose, which was to present Sophie The Giraffe to you, to explain why she is simply </span><br />

<br />
<blockquote>"The second I saw her I was smitten. She stood 7 inches high with big, coal-black eyes, a blush of hot pink on each cheek and a little mouth parted to reveal a cheerful smile. I loved the rich caramel color of her spots, the jaunty bend of her front knee, the way her long, thin neck fit so perfectly in Ryu's fat little hand. The texture of her body was soft like suede, and malleable enough for my friend's 6-month-old to elicit a low, seductive squeak with just the slightest bit of pressure. I was desperate to buy her.

I love the way an idea can be used, deformed, recycled etc, and in the end (usually), so brilliantly used! And an ad can be for so much more than just to make us buy the latest gadget or product... </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are some examples found </span><a href="http://www.connexx-design.nl/2010/10/35-more-creative-guerrilla-and-ambient-advertising-campaigns/"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">on the connexx-design site..</span></a> <br />

<ul><li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">we are going to light the first candle of 8,</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are going to eat some "soufganiot", <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_(pastry)"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>Berliners</strong></span></a>, doughnuts specially made for the celebration... I think the very best looking ones are made by the bakery and cafe Roladin. Click </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=240030&id=194560823183"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>here for pictures of those yummy cakes</strong></em></span></a><strong>,</strong></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are going to eat Latkes. It is a potato pancake that is also 'miam miam" as we say in French... Very simple to make, <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>see the recipe by clicking!</strong></em></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and we are going to exchange gifts and simply be together!</span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this is one of my favourite festivals mostly because of the simplicity of the foods and the candles. Candles always create a magical atmosphere. I am a big fan of candles. Friends who come over can attest to it ^__^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can imagine you thinking <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><em>"well well well, what a fattening celebration !!</em> <em>So much oily food!"</em></span></span> ... and you would be absolutely right! Oil is the keyword of Hannukah.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hannukah is the commemoration of a miracle that Jews believe occurred in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century B.C. When the Jews first returned to the Temple after defeating Hellenist Syrians who had made it illegal for Jews to worship, they found only enough oil to light the temple's menorah for one day. Miraculously, the flame remained lit for eight days and nights, giving them enough time to find more oil to sustain the fire. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hanukkah is about the survival of the Jewish spirit. As such Hanukkah could be a universal celebration for all of us who are not accepted by others. Never lose your spirit...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hanukkah חנוכה in modern Hebrew means "Inauguration" and we recreate the miracle of the temple's menorah by lighting candles and eating food cooked in oil! </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Happy Festival of Lights everyone!</span></div><br />

I will sum it all up in one sentence: why make things easy when you can complicate them? It is to the point that, coming from abroad, at some point, you cannot but wonder if it is done on purpose, for some obscure reason you have yet to discover...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seriously; when I say nothing is easy, pictures of the way people and buses drive come to my mind, the way we queue at the supermarket or the post-office where having a number still does not guarantee your turn, the way one needs another form, another signature and twenty more phone calls to conclude a process...etc </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some days I can take it really well, almost laughing at the absurdity and "chutzpah" of some, it is almost like watching a show, you are the spectator, even if sometimes you have a part to play and you wonder how it will all end.... Other days I am really not in the mood and prefer to stop in my tracks and go back to packing more Sophies HaGirafot in the quietness of the office...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So whenever I go and visit the stores, I always expect "walls" because hey, it cannot be simple! Of course I did get my share of issues but I really cannot complain: they were all valid, pertinent and they helped me understand more what the business needed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Those past days I struggled a lot though. A container was waiting at customs and the transport company was not moving fast enough... Finally after a week I recieved the merchandise. It took that long to understand each other, understand the process and what the problems were and with whom to talk to finally get the merchandise. And I was lucky to have help in that process... Again because of what should almost be an adage for the region" nothing can nor should be easy"... it would be too much fun!</span><br />
