Mommy (or Mummy, depending on the country of origin) Charms came packaged with selected ponies. In the UK, Sundae Best and Loving Family singles featured them and they were also released with Brush 'n Grow ponies and two were exclusive via mail order (with Sweet Scoops) and the Fan Club in the US.
Collectors could send off for a free bracelet to attach them to via the loop on their back.
The set has 20 pieces. All Mommy Charms have the same pose and are approximately 1" tall.
