When I was little, not only did the tooth get wrapped in a tissue and placed under the pillow, but it got sprinkled with salt as well. Haven't a clue why - perhaps I'll remember to ask my mum.
My kids tend to wrap in tissue and leave on the bedside table (the older one went through a phase of writing little notes with a series of questions that had to be answered by the tooth fairy as well). I'd much prefer it if the younger one could use a glass of water in the kitchen though, she's such a light sleeper and swapping the tooth for 50p (we're mean tooth fairies *g*) is fraught with danger.
