About Jenny

The GUMIGEM® was created by Jenny McLaughlan, mum of two from Birkhill, Scotland.

Jenny came up with this idea while on maternity leave with her second child in early 2010. He was a big teether and grabbed at everything, then the idea struck her, after months of research and development, GUMIGEM® was born. This was a long process that finally resulted in developing a necklace that to the lay eye just looks like a nice piece of jewellery, but can have a dual function as a safe teething item for your baby.  It is really intended to be a nice peice of jewellery for mum that bridges the gap from when babies start to grab at necklaces, until they understand and can follow instruction that this is not the done thing! Jenny has already developed the range further and intends to continue this by adding more shapes and designs. Watch this space!

Jenny's passions are her two children, husband and when she has a spare minute (which is not often!), she enjoys the outdoors, particularly snowboarding.
