Troy, MI Contact Name: Sara Salgot, TeeterToddlers.com Phone: 866-286-3353 Web Address: http://www.teetertoddlers.com TROY, MI - March 13, 2002 - To the delight of moms, dads and little ones across the country, a unique business focusing on products for small children, TeeterToddlers.com, recently announced the product launch of "Sleepy Songs Personalized Lullabies" online. The parent company, A Special Gift, founded by partners Michael Perantoni, Sara Salgot and Bill Vigelius, the creator and performer of Sleepy Songs, officially went online in February of this year. "The response to Sleepy Songs has been tremendous," Michael Perantoni said. "Initially Bill started out recording the lullabies for his friends and their friends, strictly by word of mouth. But the feedback from parents was so incredible, we decided to go online so Sleepy Songs would be available to everyone. Now our customers include not only parents, grandparents and other family members, but people looking for something unique and different as a children's gift." "What makes the lullabies so special," Vigelius noted, "is that a child hears their name in the songs, not once but almost fifty times as they go to sleep. It makes bedtime very special. I actually had a parent call me because their tape was misplaced and her child would not go to bed without the lullabies so I rushed out another copy right away." He added, "With three children of my own, I know that music can be a wonderful way to help a child develop and increase their self-esteem. That's why I wrote Sleepy Songs." Vigelius has been playing and composing professionally for many years. During the early 1980s, he began writing commercial jingles for local and national companies while performing with a variety of musicians in the Detroit area. He continues to perform professionally, yet no matter how busy he is Bill volunteers his musical talents for worthy causes, like the Rainbow Connection and The Leukemia Foundation. Perantoni mentioned, "In keeping with Bill's goal to help children, ten percent of sales of Sleepy Songs will be donated to the Starlight Children's Foundation, an organization which grants wishes to seriously ill children." Teetertoddlers.com can personalize a song for any little one. The high quality compact disc or cassette contains four personalized lullabies featuring the child's name. Each song is repeated four times for approximately one hour of music.
