Bestselling author and actress Tori Spelling, 38, has always been a steadfast supporter of the Savvy Auntie community: “I honestly don’t know what I would do without the aunties, uncles, and of course, the guncles in my kids’ lives,” she has said.
 
So naturally, when it came time to celebrate her third baby shower this past September, she decided to include a fAuntastic gift: Savvy Auntie, the book! “Melanie’s book is invaluable to me as a mom—and as a Savvy Auntie and godmommy myself—because I understand what a gift it is to be loved by so many adoring grown-ups,” Tori said in support of our founder’s book.
 
CelebAuntie guests, including Denise Richards, Brooke Charvet, and Lisa Rinna were all among the recipients of ‘the ultimate guide for cool aunts, great-aunts, godmothers and all women who love kids,’ which includes everything from tips on how to pull an "extreme makeover" for baby’s nursery, to guidelines on the hot new trends every Auntie should know.
 
We have no doubt that when baby Hattie Margaret McDermott made her early arrival in October, she was showered with love by all the newly savvy Aunties (and Guncles) in her life.
