manny & simon Brings Warm Memories

Trends come and go, but nostalgia is always in fashion: people like to remember the “good old days”. These memories are laced with thoughts of family, and grandparents typically occupy a special place in a child’s heart. With the rise in the number of multi-generational families living under one roof, children are enjoying the benefits of warm relationships with grandparents that many parents might have missed. Companies that understand how to become a part of that relationship can unlock a profit center.

manny & simon develops products and clothing that cater to that sweet spot where happy memories and the perfect product meet. The company was named for the owners’ grandfathers — a reminder that grandparents have an enduring impact on grandchildren throughout their lives. manny & simon focuses on creating environmentally responsible products that enchant children but are sturdy enough to be passed down as family heirlooms.

“Manny was a farmer, so we have a wooden Tractor + Trailer Push Toy … and Simon was a Fire Fighter, so we have a wooden Fire Truck Push Toy in our collection,” says Eden Yaskill, the creative director and owner of manny & simon. New products include a collection of sturdy, eco-friendly wooden toys.

Boys will be over the moon for the 10”x 4.5” Space Rocket, and the Shapes Train caters to a child’s dream of being an engineer (11.5”x 9”x2.5”). The Truck Push Cart (in red) sports generous dimensions (17”x11”x20”), while the Taxi and Police Push Toys are sure to provide hours of imaginative fun. Families can decorate trees for the holidays with the Wooden Holiday Ornaments, which include animal and vehicle shapes that could easily spend the rest of the year sprucing up a child’s room.

The innovative rockers set manny & simon apart from the crowd: four animal designs are developed from 100% post-industrial recycled wood residuals and stand 25” high. For example, children will adore the sweet seat that is a profile of a standing lamb, as well as the mischievous monkey rocker.

manny & simon also offers a line of clothing, from infant one-pieces to hoodies. The Elephant hoodie is constructed of 100% rib cotton and is available in sizes 3 months to 4 years old. Nodding noggins can stay warm in manny & simon style, with over 10 designs to choose from, including a monkey, dinosaur, ladybug, and duck.
