IN THE SPOTLIGHT – My Ami Media Player Holder

Filed under All Posts, Featured Wholesaler
Portable child entertainment device. Need we say more? My Ami is the world’s first truly portable, truly functional teddy bear that will aid in tantrums (and just because) everywhere!
Created by a mom of three boys, My Ami was inspired by a grocery store visit with a shopping list that seemed endless. With three boys under thirteen to entertain, a recent cartoon download on her phone managed to keep the time passing by without tantrums, however her fear of a broken phone could not escape her. Hence, My Ami was born. While covers and holders have been made to carry today’s popular phones, a child friendly and encouraging (made to appeal to their approval) has not. This genius invention is worthy of a stand up applause by moms everywhere! Cozy, portable and small enough to fit into any diaper bag, the My Ami is the perfect present for any mom. But don’t wait for an excuse to get them into your stores… they need to be ordered now! My Ami is truly genius when it comes to supporting the telecommunications marketplace AND mommy marketplace. They hold your media device securely so you can enjoy whatever it is you want to enjoy… ballgames, grocery shopping, carrides and so much more. Learn more by visiting www.my-ami.com or contacting My Ami directly at bea@my-ami.com.
