Written correspondence is integral to fairy interactions. You’ll need spectacles to read teensy handwriting, and a whimsical letterbox for exchanging notes.

Remember, gifts can neither be too plentiful nor too sparkly, for fairy-folk delight in extravagance. Pink is always a suitable choice.

Tea-time treats must be sugar-dusted and rainbow-sprinkled. For dainty nibbling, bake tiny cakes and biscuits.

To entice a fairy, you’ll also need a toddler, the kind with dimpled elbows and hair that curls at the edges on a damp day. Years later, the child won’t remember any of it. This is how you’ll know the magic was real.
