"  Mia Galison, 45 Eeboo children&amp;#039;s toys Launched 1997 New York, N.Y.  eeboo.com  My son was a year old when I found out I was pregnant with twins. At the time I worked in the gift division of Stewart, Tabori &amp;amp;amp; Chang, and I really didn&amp;#039;t want to go back to an office full-time with three kids. I also felt there was an absence of nice gifts for children featuring beautiful artwork. We started out with cookie cutters and hats and branched out from there. I commissioned illustrator friends to do the artwork on classic card games like Old Maid and Go Fish. At first I think people thought, Four dollars for a pack of cards?! I can get them at Wal-Mart for 69 cents! But our cards don&amp;#039;t rip, they don&amp;#039;t really bend, and they come in a nice hardcover box. Gradually people took to the idea that our games make a nice gift. We&amp;#039;ve never had a bad year, and now after 10 years we&amp;#039;re known! And people are beginning to recognize our name. It took a lot of hours, nerve, and money. My designer and I would often work all night after we put our kids to bed. Now my hours are much better. I&amp;#039;m getting too old to work until 2 in the morning!
