From the most beloved toy store on the Upper East Side, a neighborhood institution that has been delighting families for generations.

This curated package includes a Lola and the Boys dress (size 8), a matching necklace, and two pairs of socks. This is a sweet, ready-to-gift bundle that only Mary Arnold Toys could put together.

It started with a birthday gift. In 2024, Daniela Groza crafted a pair of custom hearing aid covers for her partner Declan McLaughlin. For the first time in his life, Dec's hearing aids didn't feel like medical devices. They felt intentional, personal, and worth showing off. Dec had been hard of hearing since birth, and for years had worn just one hearing aid when he needed two because of the stigma.

From that moment, Auzi was born. Daniela, a GIA Graduate Gemologist with 14 years of experience and a degree in Jewelry and Silversmithing from Edinburgh College of Art, brought her craft to a cause. Dec brought his lifelong understanding of what it means to navigate the world with hearing aids. Together, they built a brand on a simple belief: hearing aids deserve to be celebrated, not hidden.

The name Auzi comes from the Romanian word meaning "to hear," a nod to Daniela's heritage, and also plays on "Au," the chemical symbol for gold, and on the word "audio," reinforcing their mission to elevate hearing aids through design.

This lot includes 2 sterling silver Ear Looms from Auzi's HEARLOOM line, designed for behind-the-ear hearing aids. Lightweight and made for everyday wear, crafted from sterling silver with the same quality materials as their full luxury line. Visit Auzi. https://www.myauzi.com/

The BeBopShop was started by Michelle, whose daughter was born hard of hearing. When her daughter was about nine months old, the family went on a hike with her in a backpack carrier. Halfway through, they realized she had pulled out one of her hearing aids and thrown it. They found it the next day after a search and rescue effort. That moment was where the idea for the retention cord was born.

Michelle brought her sister Debbie in to help. Debbie had never used an embroidery machine before, but said yes, bought one, and together they built the BeBopShop, going from a jelly cord with a plastic clip to a paracord with a durable stainless-steel clip, and from a simple idea to a business with some of the most loyal customers in the hearing community.

In 2016, Michelle was diagnosed with breast cancer. When treatments became too much, Debbie took over the day-to-day running of the shop. In 2021, Michelle passed away. The BeBopShop was so important to her sister, and it is important to Debbie. It is a connection to Michelle and to her niece, and Debbie has continued to run it for as long as there is a need.

This lot includes two hearing aid and cochlear implant necklaces and two retention cords all made with care.

Some bottles are meant to be saved for a truly special occasion. Paul Hobbs Coombsville Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021 is one of them: rich, structured, and deeply elegant, from one of Napa's most respected small-production winemakers.
